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.

Good morning, ModBlog! Don’t forget that a balanced breakfast is the best way to start your day. Look at Ol’ Chompers up there — if he doesn’t start every day by devouring an entire, innocent water buffalo, right down its bones and soul, he is just in a rotten mood, at least until lunch, when a nice beet salad usually does the trick.
