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.

Those crazy Brits!

I have no idea what this show is about, but it comes from the same country that finds Mr. Bean funny, so how can I expect to understand?

Anyhow blackroses sent me a message on IAM that said:

We have a show in england called snog marry avoid, tonight is the start of series 3 and i was surprised and delighted to find a fork tongued teacher!

She was kind enough to include a link to it on YouTube so I could share it with you guys.

UPDATE: My favorite nomad, Howie, shot me a message saying he was the artist who did the implants and tongue split and that the girl is kissitgoodbye.

    aaah basically people with “bad fashion sense” get made over and the public are asked before the make over if they will snog marry or avoid them, and then they’re asked again after the make over.

    that must be the British version of “kill, fuck, marry.” between three people who do you kill, eff, and marry – one option per one person.

    Off topic, but could someone on staff please change the cover image on https://www.bmezine.com/? I can’t imagine I’m the only one who’s tired of looking at Mr. Browsnbeard, inscrutable though he may be.

    Apologies if that’s out of line, it just used to change every few days, and it’s been that dude for a while now. Thanks for reading.

    Haha. Oh god that show has brought me dead hours on occasion.
    I don’t think they will do anything to her, #8, as pod so hilariously punned “pod off”.
    Apparently she was just too much for the camera that likes to turn everyone into “natural” beauties
