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.

Such Levity

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Good morning, ModBlog! Denam sends in these shots he took (and for which he did the piercings) of his model, Dasha, who is playing the role of the peacock. Well, peahen. And, wait … peahens don’t really have the extravagant tail feathers, do they? But she’s a woman! I, I … can we even enjoy this photo knowing there is FLAGRANT zoological deception afoot?

Oh, right. Yes. Yes we can.
