  • Venezuela in my sights

    I love photography.  I especially love photographs of people.  One thing I would never do is edit someone else’s photography to make it fit my version of aesthetically pleasing.  As a photographer (albeit merely a hobbyist), I would be angry if someone edited or cropped one of my photos and I think it’s rude to alter photos submitted to BME, beyond the watermark we add, so finding photos that grab me, as is, is always wonderful.  The photos that I post are, for the most part, ones that are sent to me in a file of photo submissions to choose from and include any information that was also sent in when the person submitted them to BME.  Sadly, that often doesn’t include full credit to the artist or even give the name of the person submitting it but I include whatever information there is every time. I know in a previous post I was brought to task for not crediting an artist but if it’s not included in the submission, I have no way of knowing. So, dear reader, if you’re submitting photos to BME, please when possible, include all of that information because inquiring minds want to know (and it’s nice to give credit where credit is due)!

    When I saw the following photo, which was submitted to the scalpelled lip section of BME, I knew I had to post it.  The only name I see as a credit is xemaxtomax and I can’t quite tell if that’s who submitted it, or who gets the credit for the scalpelled lip.  Either way, Venezuela is looking mighty lovely.

    The symmetry of these piercings is really quite beautiful.  There’s another great shot of this handsome boy after the jump.

  • Modified zombies like it a little rough

    Go to any zombie crawl, zombie prom or other zombie event and count the people without body mods, they are few and far between. Amongst the undead, us modified folks are not the minority, we are in fact the majority.  The same statement holds true at BD/SM events. So it should be no surprise to see a cute couple of modified zombies playing a little rough together right?

    Here’s  a perfect example from Joli and her date Noah from the Philly Zombie Prom.

  • When worlds collide

    During my year long stint living in Las Vegas I met Cheyne. Of all the tattooed people I have met over the years, he has has one of the more interesting tattoo. His torso is an amazing Japanese style body suit, and his extremities are a collection of randomness, including lots of pop culture tributes. Of his pop culture tattoos, my favorite is this Harry Potter portrait by our mutual friend Mike Demasi.

    Love letter to Lady Gaga

    Cheyne is currently  in route to California, hence why I can’t get a hold of him to find the artist name who did the Lady Gaga letter. He is seeking piercing work in the Bay area, so if anyone knows of any shops hiring shoot him a message.

  • BME Boys

    We figured it best to keep up with the BME Girls feature and broaden the horizon for a BME Boys one as well!

    Hi Modbloggers, this is my first post as a ModBlog contributer and I gotta say, the gig’s good so far!

    I’m clearly blessed to be handling the admin side of sifting through pictures of BME’s finest gentlemen and to kick off the event and warm us up, I’ve wrangled an unseen shot out of my studio’s apprentice (That’s what they’re for, right?)  here’s Bobby from Edmonton, Canada (Who’s been featured in this set before.)

    The guidelines and rules will be the same as they are for ladies’ feature:

    About being a featured boy: This event is open to all BME Boys age 18 and over. Boys of all shapes, sizes and race are encouraged to submit pictures. Contestants can be dressed or nude, but nothing too pornographic will be featured. Pictures need to be of decent quality, lest the readers condemn me to hell for posting webcam shots. Agreeing to be involved is consenting to be featured in the calendar, if you are selected for it. If you want to suggest someone, feel free to do so. I will contact them and see if they are interested, but no one will be featured without their explicit approval.

    About voting: Votes will be tallied by emailing [email protected], just make the subject “Vote (insert name of the guy you choose)” and your vote will be tallied.  Votes will be anonymous, there is no reason for anyone to know who voted for whom and how many votes each girl got. This isn’t about competition, it’s about a fun, interactive way to get the readers involved in the selection process.

    About Commenting: I am enforcing a strict ZERO TOLERANCE policy for negative comments about the boys. They are being kind enough to share themselves with us and to help BME make a calendar, they should not have to fear public ridicule. Negative comments will be deleted, if we have a repeat offender, all of their future modblog comments will be sent to moderation. This isn’t about censorship, it’s about common courtesy and respect.

    We’re looking forward to seeing BME’s most intriguing boys! Let’s see ya, fellas!

  • An often overlooked form of body modification

    Wow, it would appear as if corsetry hasn’t been featured on Modblog since WAY back in 2006! I bet a lot of current readers don’t even realize the semi-permanent and permanent changes to one’s body that can be created using something that is now often considered just a fashion accessory. These pictures were in the November 2009, BME  corsetry & binding galleries and I am quite pleased to be able to feature them now.
