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.

It’s your birthday!

Written by

Jen Savage

I just wanted to take a moment to wish Rob a very happy birthday!  Rob has been a big help since he took over writing the bulk of the ModBlog posts and he’s handled the slings and arrows of the job with grace and class.  Have a great day Rob and thanks for all the help!

    i hope there is just a wrinkle in that shirt because it would really suck if it said “ceci est pas une pipe” rather than “n’est”
