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.

    I’m torn.

    The part of me that likes symmetry would like to see another Monroe on the other side. And I know it’s a backhanded compliment in saying so but the other part of me that thinks that quirky imperfections like Roman noses, etc. is attractive thinks that this is fantastic.

    Regardless, this is very very nice!

    I have found that in general, guys with low levels of self esteem seem to need large breasts on their women. I for one love small, firm breasts. Besides, girls with small breasts seem to have larger, more well defined nipples. (or at least comparatively so!)

    re #24 HEAR HEAR self esteem in bucketloads, just like my girls to look like girls and not emo boys.

    blah, blah, blah. don’t like my tits (or lack thereof ;[ ) then don’t fucking look. sounds pretty fucking logical to me!

    How rude can you get!? Here you have a pretty girl, who is happy with herself, in a world where fake tits and big tits seem to be the norm according to immature males. And you insult her about something she was born with and not chosen, it’s not a hairstyle she can change you know. By saying shit like this you are pretty much asking her to get an plastic surgery just cause YOU think she should look different. Again, how rude can you get?!

    Everyone being rude and offensive, just please shut the fuck up. That kind of trashtalking is EXACTLY the reason why so many girls hate their body and feel the need to get surgery, so that they will “fit in” and stupid fucks like you guys will say they’re hot.
    Although she might not give a shit about what youre saying, other girls DO and it’s fucking with their self esteem having guys saying that there is sometihing wrog with them when there really isn’t.

    I, for one, think that small tits are hot and Lesha is very hot!

    I’m in love with the microdermals!!! And her skin!! It looks so silky smooth, I just want to touch it!!

    33# here here!

    Also, I love your nipple piercings!! Photos like yours inspired me to go get mine done.. and I did=) oh what joy!

  36. Lesha Avatar

    #33, I agree to an extent. but I think girls shouldn’t let piece of shit “men” make them feel that way. before I started modeling (majority of my work is nude/art nude/erotica) I was very insecure, but it helped me become more comfortable with my body. to each their own. now there are more postings above mine, quit coming to it!

  37. Lesha Avatar

    oh, #29, those aren’t scars..they are tattoos which I have covered now (this photo was taken October of last year). only scars I have now are http://news.bmezine.com/2009/04/13/the-earth-beneath/

    #37, feel what, beautiful? Or do you mean the other jerks saying you’re not?
    Everbody like different things, and I really don’t understand the reason why people are commenting when don’t have anything constructive or nice to say.

    My girlfriend actually think she’s fat.. And it’s so sad, and so damn hard convincing her she’s not.. 🙁

  39. Lesha Avatar

    make them feel insecure and bad about themselves. anyone that does that, is a sorry excuse for a human. I’m not just directing that at guys, fyi. I agree, but then again, it is modblog. everyone talks shit. they’re just internet tough guys though. they have not to show or contribute to this site except wasted comments.

    BIG dogs, BIG (gas guzzling) vehicles, BIG trucks with BIG tires, BIG speakers, BIG houses, BIG boobs! Why is everyone so obsessed with BIG these days????? Its QUALITY – NOT QUANTITY or SIZE that matters. Big is no substitute for self esteem or self confidence. To prove it I don’t believe I’ve ever heard a guy get laughed at because his girlfriend had big boobs – but heaven forbid the opposite.

    Yeah, I understand that different people have different tastes but why belittle someone because something about them is not your preference. I really dislike seeing girls with monstrous boobs that look like soft globs of fat hanging from their chest and are so out of proportion with the rest of their bodies but I have never found the need to insult those girls. I just say nothing and go my way.

    Lesha, you have a beautiful , well proportioned body (to die for) so just ignore the internet bullies! You have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!

    Why is the post count messed up? Anyway..

    I agree Lesha, but the sad truth is that most people are affected by what other people say about them, and especially negative comments.. I always get the “Why are you doing it to yourself?” from family members because of my 7/11″ lobes, and although I don’t really care about it that much, it does make me a bit sad that my family can’t accept me for what I am and appreciate that I have found something that makes me happy.
    People should just keep all that negative shit to themselves!

    lovedarling, indeed very hot too! 😉

  42. Lesha Avatar

    Nygaard, it’s totally different when it comes to family and when it’s someone you’re dating or married to or some fuck stick on the internet. there was a point in time where my family didn’t accept me or the things I did to my body. it never really bothered me because it made me feel good about myself to do these things. without my modifications I don’t feel right. with them and the more I get, the more I feel beautiful to MYSELF. and that’s what matters. but thanks to everyone for all the nice feedback :]

  43. DeviantAndi Avatar

    Neurosis, why don’t youself a favor and grow the hell up. People like you at the end of the day are the ones who are the most insecure. You NEED to insult (or attempt, because you fail at it) others to make yourself feel better.

    Sucks huh, she’s beautiful. Little boobs, no boobs, big boobs… that’s not the point. She’s gorgeous.

    If you’re so much better, show us a picture of youself. I am in the mood for a good laugh.

    haha i don’t need to make myself feel better, i feel fuckin’ awesome. i just like to talk vitriolic shit about people because i hate you all. it brings me enjoyment and i do it for nothing other than the pure pleasure of insulting people. there’s no ulterior motive, i do it because i can.

    so eat shit you stank fish cunt.

    you can TRY to insult me but it doesn’t even make me bat an eye. want to get a rise out of me, you’ll have to try A LOT harder than that :]
