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.

And don’t forget folks, the World Tour Internship Contest closes on Saturday (we all know what Saturday is, my birthday). Get your applications in and don’t forget to include a link to your audition video! I’ve seen all of the applications so far and now I know how it feels to be a judge on a reality show. If only we could take everyone who applies!

Also, whether you’re applying or not, you can help us out! If you’re from Europe/Asia/Australia/Africa, we would really appreciate it if you could list your country, the cities in that country that you think we should visit as well as the names (url, location, etc) of the best shops in town! Help us locate the best places near you! Maybe we’ll even get to see you there! (Well I won’t since I’ll be managing the tour from my igloo in the frozen wasteland that is the east coast of Canada, but the rest of the group will!) You can post below or, feel free to email us at [email protected]

    Good Luck Taryn, I’m sure you’ll win however seeing that you’re so far in front, I gave my vote to another one of the competitors with equal or greater hopes of winning the competition too.
    I’d love to just give the votes to ‘the cute girl with the tattoos and peircings’ (wow, we’ve got soo much in common) but alas, I read all the stories and found someone who would love the opportunity just as much as you and their story compelled me to give them a chance. People want everything to be fair right?
    Anyway, good luck, and have a great time helping the kids and animals if you do win the prize.

    I reckon that y’all should come visit us at Vogue Body Piercing in Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia! Plus, the landscapes here are spectacular and definitely worth visiting!

    Scott – Well, I’m actually not in front at all, I’m in second place. I got where I did by working extremely hard to spread the word everywhere. Amount of votes does not guarantee me a win – if I make it into the top 3 by votes, a panel of judges decides the winner.

    tallish-noodles – Close, it’s a My Little Pony! Hahaha.

    THANKS GUYS!! <3
