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.

    Hi, I’m Roo.

    I’ve shaved daily since puberty (I’m now 28) and I can’t stand hair of any type, unless it’s on a cat, a dog or a rabbit.

    Purely in the spirit of adventure and charity I’ve decided to raise money for the Toronto Humane Society (who do sterling work finding homes for all sorts of animals, amongst other things) by not shaving or cutting anything above my neckline for four months, or longer if the donations keep coming in!

    Therefore, if you’ve ever wanted to know what a Roo looks like with four months of face and head growth, give me your monies! Even if it’s just pocket change. You can also sponsor me to shave it off, of course.

    So, if you enjoy cats, dogs, me*, rabbits or the videos I post on here and BMEvideo you can donate wildly using the button at the bottom of this entry.

    There’ll be an update on my progress on ModBlog and on my IAM page every two weeks.

    Thank you everyone, I love you.

    *Note – You can still donate if you don’t like me. Rest assured I’m not going to enjoy this process one bit and I’ll look pretty ridiculous throughout!

    These “gum” piercings (sort of — they’re really through the tissue between the gum and inner lip) are two years old in this photo, having healed quickly with no discomfort or follow-up issues.

    I like Eduardo (Universal Tattoo Body Art, Brasilia, Brasil) Bez’s pierced comic shoulder tattoo, but I have to admit that I’m wondering about the large bump in his young friend’s chest…

    Scarlet writes in about her VCH gone wrong — the piercer not only went through the hood, but kept right on going and pierced through the shaft and head of her clitoris, giving her an accidental Isabella piercing! Oooooops!
