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 Bag That Bursts


So, let me get this straight. You send in a well-shot photo of a lovely tattooed model, sporting a number of piercings and wearing some fancy gold jewelry, and you expect us to publish it on ModBlog?

… Yeah, you’ve pretty much got our number.

    She looks stunning. And I’ve been looking for nice hoops to wear through my tunnels, but haven’t found anything as nice as what she has.
    And her septum jewellery is so pretty and inconspicuous (at least in the photo, might be the lighting I guess) :).

    As a rule I dislike gold. Rules are meant to be broken. It looks amazing on her.
