BME: Body Modification Ezine

A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

    Just wanted to share with everyone a bit of news regarding BMEshop, as well as this year’s BME New Year’s Eve party.

    First up, BMEshop is currently in the process of moving. From Tuesday November 16th until Saturday November 20th, we will be driving all the way across country. From Sunday November 21st until Tuesday November 23rd, we will be unpacking and updating our inventory. We may be able to ship out some orders during that time but it is not guaranteed. From Wednesday November 24th until Sunday November 28th BMEshop will not be shipping orders so that we may celebrate Thanksgiving with our families.

    BMEshop will remain available to take orders during this time but orders will not be able to be shipped until Monday November 29th. All orders placed during the period of Tuesday November 16th until Sunday November 28th, will be shipped on Monday November 29th.

    Please remember that all proceeds from BMEshop go directly to supporting BME. Thank you for your support!

    In case you haven’t been to the shop lately, here’s the stunningly beautiful itsssssBROOKE showing off the BME Calm Logo t-shirt.

    So freaking hot

    Also, this year BME is having a New Year’s Eve party/BBQ!  It’ll be taking place at the new BME headquarters just outside of Richmond, VA.  The event page has all the details, including directions, as well as information regarding food, possible suspensions, and all sorts of activities.  We’ll also be looking to interview people to feature on ModBlog in the coming year, so if you’re interested just let us know.

    So if you don’t have plans yet, head on over to the event page to get all the details.  If you do have plans, cancel them and come to the BBQ instead!

    Fans of Brom will instantly recognize his style in this backpiece.  Brom’s the guy behind a lot of the art in role-playing games, fantasy novels, etc.  The lovely clockorange from Moscow, and her artist Sergey Voynov from Extreme Art in St. Petersburg, are big fans of Brom, and it shows.  The detail that Sergey put into this is masterful, which makes for a truly spectacular piece.

    So what do you do if you don’t have a mustache but you want to get in on the fun of Movember?  Simple, follow Babasom’s example.

    When in doubt, use your big septum to improvise a mustache.

  • Living De Stijl

    For those who aren’t art history majors, De Stijl was an artistic movement from in and around the 1920s.  You may not know it by name, but you’d probably recognize some of the art.  Most notably Piet Mondrian’s Composition series, a white background with thick black lines filled in with red, blue and yellow.  The movement was wide reaching and affected not only artists, but architects, fashion designers, and even a musician.  The key elements of the movement were horizontal and vertical black lines, rectangular forms, and only incorporated red, blue, and yellow for colors, as well as black, white, and grey.

    IAM: KnifeInTheMachine has taken these elements to heart, and with the help of his artist, Jerson Filho from Brazil, have created a stunning piece that fits into the De Stijl style perfectly.

    If you’re an IAM member, head on over to his page to check out some more pictures of the piece.

    Ok ladies, just because the majority of you can’t grow a mustache, that doesn’t mean you’re exempt from submitting Movember photos.

    Check out Overkill‘s friend.  She’s found a way to show her support for Movember.

    Head on over to the galleries to see a couple more photos that Overkill uploaded recently.
