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.

  • A Wonderful Life

    The lovely MissDuveaux (right, who’s been on ModBlog once or twice) and Chinouk (left) check in with this Christmas miracle:

    We where supposed to shoot very serious set with liters of fake blood, but when we arrived we saw all this dress-up-stuff and the girl in us could not resist! Enjoy your X-mas as much as I enjoyed sharing my hat …

    Will do! But what of that blood-soaked photo shoot? Well, that ended up happening too. See the sacrilege, after the jump.

    “We did this messy shoot with 11 liters of fake blood,” MissDuveaux says, “made out of very sticky stuff. The good news? It looks great! The bad news: everything (and then I mean everything) stuck together.”

    And with that, happy holidays, ModBlog. We’re going to take the rest of the day off, but come back tomorrow. Embrace the day.

    Well well well, looks like somebody unwrapped their present already. Geez. Some people are so impatient. You couldn’t have just waited a few more hours? Is nothing sacred anymore?

    Hey everybody, it’s the Christmas Kraken, popping in to offer some holiday advice! Take it away!

    “Hi, folks — Christmas Kraken here. It’s the holiday season, and with all sorts of parties and get-togethers going on, it’s best that people be careful out there. If you’re drinking, please don’t drive, and if you’re driving, please make the change to Goodyear Snow Tires. Also, if you’re planning on attacking a ship and dragging every soul on board down to a watery grave, I’d recommend hitting the sails first. Holes in the body of a ship can take a while to fill with water, but nothing ruins a mariner’s day like getting his sails torn off.”

    Thanks, Christmas Kraken! Merry Christmas!

    See the blazing tool before us.
    Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
    Hit the lights and hope they’re not porous.
    Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
    Follow me in glowing pleasure.
    Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
    While I stroke my Yule-tide member.
    Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la

    Xronix basically lives on ModBlog, but in the interest of (A) posting interesting pictures and (2) keeping up the wintery vibe, well, here he is again. It’s a Christmas miracle!

    Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve. Mikey, as we can see, keeps his in his hands. Me? I like to wear mine as a jaunty ascot. What can I say? I’m a slave to fashion.

    It was about time for Cody to get his first cutting, Charles reckoned, and what better way to jump in than with a big ol’ Texas shoot-em-up notched right on the boy’s hindparts? Mighty fine idea, I tell you what.

    I know I complain about the snow a lot, but that’s just because I’m a wimp with poor circulation. Truth be told, I think it’s hard not to find it pretty — and really, how bad can anything be that necessitates wandering_star bundling up all adorable-like? Hey, snow? You’re alright.
