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.

Merry Christmakwanzakah!!!

Whatever holiday you celebrate, or even if you do not celebrate at all I hope all of our readers, contributors and friends have an amazing day.

A good start to a potentially amazing day is this set of pics from Dandy Ruby leigh, I know she was just featured earlier this month, but this photo set was just too cute not to use. All of her piercings were done by her hubby Zippy and her tattoos were done by Poch.

Two more from this set after the break.

    Ryan, you’ve got your head on the right way ’round.

    “vintage looks like what it is… old and boring. Just like car design, sexy undergarments have been fine tuned over the years. But hey,if you’re into the look of aModel T,simply because you’re a trendster, that’s your gig.”

    Vintage is cool, nearly all modern cars look like shit, how dare you call me a trendster, your metaphor is awful, “fine tuned” my ass, fuck you.

    I like Ford model Ts, so I am a trendster? Seriously? I’ve heard some preposterous things in my life, but that is near the top. Since when has liking a Model T been “trendy”?! They sure as hell aren’t on used car lots. You almost never see them on the road. I don’t see the huge market for Aftermarket speed parts for them. As much as I wish I could, I can’t order a new Winfield manifold, Frontenac overhead-valve racing head, or Ruckstell two-speed axle for them out of a parts catalog. I can’t go down to the local NAPA or Kragen and get myself a new set of pistons or valves, or a new head gasket. They don’t carry the supplies to repour the rod and crankshaft bearings either. Seems to me like they aren’t very trendy at all.

    Modern car styling is “fine tuned”? How about a comedy of errors. The Pontiac Aztek. The Nissan Cube. The Ford Flex. The Toyota Prius. The Honda Accord. The Ford F-150. The Hyundai Sonata. I could go on all day. Mechanically, they do what they were designed to do, most of the time. Aesthetically? Dear god.
    Look up a 1931 Duesenberg model J, a ’53 Hudson, or a ’70 Plymouth Barracuda. If you cannot appreciate these vehicles, then that sure sucks for you.

    And finally, sexy undergarments have not been fine tuned over the years. The invention of undergarments is not an improvement over what originally was.

    An internet troll is someone who posts on forums in an anonymous fashion. Its clear that I am not, as i clearly have a fancy clickable link with my name, going to my real website.

    Erik, your metaphors aren’t apt in this discussion,as we can only speak of generalizations,while you pick out specifics..

    hahaha. you people are funny. it’s just my opinion that women dressing like grannies isn’t sexy. no need to get your bloomers in a bunch people. If you think that frumpy is sexy,more power to you.
