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.

Tried By Fire


Hope you’ve been enjoying your Memorial Day, American ModBloggers. The sun is still out, so if you haven’t high-fived a military officer, downed a pitcher of margaritas or fallen asleep in a kiddie pool, there’s still time! If, however, you’ve resigned yourself to the fact that your blissful long weekend is over and it’s back to the acid mines first thing tomorrow, maybe the lovely Lesha will lift your lilting spirits. Almost everything you see there (minus the tattoo work) was done by the illustrious Steve Truitt at Stay Gold Tattoos in Albuquerque—the three forehead microdermals and star implant in her chest, at the very least.

    A lot of people try to make themselves feel good about themselves by putting others down. shoe is right…

    Neurosis certainly has not been willing to show his private parts off.

    Must be he is ashamed of something!? Proves my point!

    Neurosis- a “hoe” is a garden tool. It’s a shame how uneducated tools (ironic word selection, eh?) are these days.

    The fact that you hate people you don’t know makes it very clear you have some hardcore issues. Hate is one of the most powerful emotions…so to waste it on people who you will probably never meet… WoW. I actually feel bad for you.

    You claim you like insulting people yet you seriously suck at it. I mean come on

    “so eat shit you stank fish cunt.”

    “Cunt” -that word has lost it’s offensive effect YEARS ago. Hell, it is one of my favorite words on the planet. Telling somebody to eat shit? WOW, you’re so cool. Because that isn’t a super generic “insult”.

    Maybe karma will bestow upon you an industrial accident that will swiftly end your meaningless life.

    People who are comfortable being naked = great self-esteem. We are born naked. There is no shame in my game you angry little monkey.

    Personally, I prefer smaller boobs. They’re usually more firm and sit higher, but hey that’s just me.
