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.

Starting the New Year off right

Written by

Rob

Happy New Year everyone!  Sorry I’ve been away, but that drive back from Richmond can be tough in a snow storm.  We’ve already got the first photos from the BME NYE Party popping up in the galleries, so expect to see a lot more as the week goes on.  The party was a blast, and the suspensions on new year’s day were fantastic.  A couple of first time suspendees, as well as some very emotional ones.  Of course no party is complete without the traditional ginger new year’s kiss, so here’s Rome and Rich ringing in the new year.  The little one in the middle is the new BME mascot, Millie.

So keep an eye on the BME Culture gallery for more photos from the party.
