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.

Welcome to the circus!

Libby Luxury sends in these wonderful, whimsical, circus themed photos!

If anyone is interested, Libby says she likes fist fights, living fast, rainbows and candy hearts (among other things).

More after the break, ofcourse!

    I actually like the arm hair. She’s a person not a hairless mannequin. My favorite picture is the last one – I love the leopard hair 😀

    Libby!

    Your awesome. Turns out I also like fist fights, living fast, rainbows and candy hearts. Bonus points if I can get them all together at the same time.

    Damn.

    I’m growing old.
    Upon seeing the 3rd pic a neon light with “poor girl, so young and already so fucked up” written on it lit up in my head.

    No kidding and no provocation intended.

    It’s just… meh, it seems so much “me me me me” to me.
    16-year-old kind of “me me me me”.
    But then it’s probably just me.

    OMG… so many things come to mind…

    I want to have babies with her – who cares if we’re both girls!

    Hell, I’d love to just cuddle with her – she looks so cute and hug-able, despite (because of?) the mods, hair, makeup etc.

    I’ve considered a bird tattoo somewhat similar to that, nice to get a idea of how it looks on skin!

    I have this wild urge to go shave my head again.

    I’m dying to see if her pubic hair really is colored! I know there’s a dye for it, but haven’t seen it on anyone yet 🙁

    I’ll save the rest, and just leave it at this – EFFING GORGEOUS!!!
