BME: Body Modification Ezine

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.

A Delicious Torment

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


Continuing with our tireless effort to bring you the very best in Summer of Dead Celebrities coverage, we announce with heavy hearts that beloved children’s book character/pansexual spokesthing Waldo has passed away, as seen above, looking his Harvey Dent-ish best. Cause of death is unknown, and though he was surrounded by nearly countless bystanders, not a single person claims to have seen him perish. Sources claim those in close vicinity were more interested in trying to find hidden swastikas or in catching topless sunbathers. Reports indicate, however, that Waldo continues to walk the earth, begging to be found, and probably stopping occasionally to eat folk, now that he is a zombie.

(Tattoo by Marty Lacombe at Live Once Tattoos in North Bay, Ontario.)

BME Shop is holding a 20-percent-off sale on most items this week until midnight on Thursday, July 16! Click here for details.
