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.

Nose Lockdown


Septum piercing? $20. 18 mm., 1.25-lb. lock? $30. Creating a fool-proof defense against ancient Egyptians ripping out your brain through your nose? Priceless. Babasom‘s got the right idea.
