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.

Fortune and Glory

Written by

Jordan Ginsberg


So, the last time we saw Anna, she was in the process of cultivating a finely shorn look for summer, probably. It was a simpler time back then, back before her warm-weather jaunt to the Temple of Doom, where she clearly acquired a diabolical taste for sugary cereals served out of actual human skulls. So enchanted is she by this all-consuming bonelust that she does not even realize the wind has blown off her clothes. Why do the young people still insist on vacationing in those terrible catacombs?

    Ru, that was completely unnecessary. And vomit, that was really immature for you to laugh at that.
    When you bend over, you get this thing called rolls. Everyone has them, I don’t care how skinny you are. So to say “keep shoveling it in” when she’s bent over in a photo where she’s eating is just really ridiculous.
    Anna I fucking love this photo, I believe I even told you when I last saw you. 🙂 Next time I’m over I expect to be fed fruity pebbles from that goblet. You’re beautiful<3
