BME: Body Modification Ezine

A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Either He’s Dead Or My Watch Has Stopped

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


You know, with Halloween around the corner, and everyone and their equally unimaginative mothers planning to go as Sarah Palin, why not go with one of the classics like Groucho up there? Or, alternately, just throw on those glasses and rob a bank in the 1930s. Both good options.

(The world’s greatest disguise was tattooed by N8 at OC Inkhouse in Lake Forest, CA.)

    Madeline, I have a bet going with some friends on how many Joker’s we’ll see out on Halloween night. My guess is so high that I really hope I don’t win.

    I’m going as a piranha plant.
