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.

The Hipbones That Launched a Thousand Ships


And here we have Neek, hands tied behind his head and about to be cast off Mt. Olympus by the gods, for the grave transgression of, um, washboard abs, mostly. Hera wanted to keep him around because she so fancied the fine stippling work being done by Alice Newstead in his armpits, but was sadly outvoted. After the jump, startling video of his earthly punishment, which involves hanging by hooks in his forearms, for eternity. Terrible.

    Just so everyone knows Neek is actually far more buff than this in person, it’s just his full amount of buffness would actually blow your monitors and melt your hard-drives were it here in full effect and thus it must be toned down for internet use

    In real life every time I see neek my eyeballs melt a little

    Great forearm suspension. I wonder if his hands got cold from losing the blood from them in that position.
