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.

Modified Political Candidate James Harrison Nixon

Written by

Coyote Black

Long shot or not, you don’t see many visibly modified folks running for a political office. I’d like you all to meet James Harrison Nixon.

Who could say no to this face?

Who could say no to this face?

“James Harrison Nixon is a normal person that cares for his state. A average working man that truly stands for the people in his district as well as Georgia”

James is running for Georgia Senate District 30 right now. No matter what the outcome and no matter what your political affiliation might be it is really great to see someone pushing the limits of what it is “acceptable” for the heavily modified to accomplish.

I think James is quite brave for throwing himself into such a tough market and I’m here to give him two major thumbs up. Good luck dude!

    I just moved away from Georgia to Colorado in July. I have to say, here it seems to be a lot more forgiving with modification than GA. Best of luck to him.
