Sometimes people take odd or hammed-up pictures of themselves for BME.
I’ll say I consider that a good thing.

I was doing some codec testing earlier today to decide what I should be using, and I thought that I ought to share the test video publicly. This is a 1:45 long clip of Lukas Zpira doing a giant Tibettan cutting and skin removal on IAM:Whitespace (featured here before).

Oh, and I should say that this isn’t edited nicely or anything like that. It’s just a few randomly chosen segments from three hours of DV. When I have time I’ll post a proper version. And finally, since I’m always asked, the music playing in the background is a cover of Science Fiction Double Feature (from RHPS) by Me First and the Gimme Gimmes.

I admit that I’m really behind on work and responsibilities (sorry to everyone who’s had to wait longer than they should for memberships, software, interviews, and so on), so I’m kind of copping out here by taking the easy approach to ModBlog entries that people like: posting pictures of pretty girls who are into body play… Is that really so bad? If it’s good enough for mechanics, it’s good enough for me.
In any case, thanks to Meeshi for sharing photos of her 8ga two-point pull, facilitated care of Shawn Payne at Ministry of Pain in South Lyon, MI.

This is a home job tongue split done in “the basement of pain”, but compare the expression on each photo. Definitely feeling better once the tongue is corrected! Of all the modifications out there, tongue splitting has one of the highest satisfaction rates, and I don’t think most people could even coherently explain why — it just feels “right”. I don’t know if it’s as simple as freedom maybe — after all, your tongue muscles are deeply restricted when attached together… More than anything, for me at least, it just feels good to be able to finally move.
These days I actually feel a little sick when I look at an unsplit tongue, it just looks so “wrong” and unhealthy. On some gut level I think it looks like someone puking, but once the split is in place I don’t feel that way any more. I don’t know if that’s because I’m simply conditioned to prefer atypical bodies, or if it’s that I’ve gotten a glimpse at the truth and can’t keep looking at lies any more.
More likely the first explanation, but I prefer the second so I’ll stick with that one.
