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 Forests of the Night


We’ve had our love on for all things asymmetrical lately, which is fine! It’s fine. But, lest we neglect to pay tribute to someone like Bedfordshire’s Laura, and cherish their fearful symmetry.

    Haha wow, Dusk, you don’t know shit about BME or the community do you? What you seem to be trying to promote is discrimination, Bodymodification is apreciated and accepted on every level here, not just if someone has something different? But i like that you put you “thought” Modblog was dedicated to interesting or unusual things, cause, well you deffinately thought wrong i’m afraid. Also what’s not “interesting” about this picture? beleive me Lauras a very interesting individual. Fair enough it’s your opinion, but i doubt it’ll be taken nicely here? especially if you portray it in such a way as you previously did. ANYWAY, long story short, this community is about everyone learning, meeting and helping promote growth and just all around peace, love n happiness 😉 …But ofcorse, that’s just what i “thought”
