We hate to be Debbie Downer here, but we have to say, as much as we love these underwater photos of Milk (sent in by Spring, we’re just not convinced of the efficacy of that thickness of rope as any sort of flotation device. We mean, it looks wonderful, and we’re certainly excited by the news that Midori is now ostensibly offering swimming lessons, but safety first, alright? At any rate, feel free to click through to remove that conveniently placed starfish, and hey! There’s even more after the jump.

It’s Friday, ModBloggers—and it’s a big one.

We admit that, when it comes to various feats of genitalia modification, it can be a bit of a sausage-fest around these parts. The hoary old cliche is that, oftentimes, we lucky gentleman just more surface area with which to work, thereby providing for space with which to be creative and to experiment. This, of course, is not always the case, as demonstrated (this time) by this most impressive labia piercing ladder above, most piercings of which look to be, at the very least, well past the zero-gauge mark. Hey, organic knuckledusters? There’s a new kid in town. After the jump, we see, as the wearer explains, her “labia stretched so much that a new sort of piercing is possible: a ‘hanging Christina.’”

It just occurred to me that it’s been an eternity since we featured anything by way of all-star BME photo submitter Kitano Karyuudo and the lovely Eva, pictured above; I really love the starkness of the pictures in this set (among other, more obvious things). More photos, all click-throughable, after the jump, but if that’s not enough, check BME/Hard for their extensive gallery.

We all took turns admiring this wonderful corset piece a few days ago, largely because of how well it was coordinated with the wearer’s dress. Well, here we have some more lovely pierced corsetry, albeit placed slightly differently. I have to say, though, this project is a bit more difficult to fit into a whole ensemble, especially for a wedding. Unless, you know, she’s just wearing a pair of old school Keds or something. Hmm…hey, photo shoot idea!

And of course, all the click-through and post-jump images you’ve come to know and love and expect from we here at ye olde ModBlog.

It’s Memorial Day Weekend, ModBloggers! Everybody follow cfse33’s lead! Wait, no, I meant everybody into the pool, not everybody get ladders of labial piercings. Although, hmm. Actually, do both.

A couple months ago, we posted this offer from Indiana University for gentlemen to discuss their genital piercings in exchange for cold hard cash, but there was some concern that this study was maybe racist towards the women. Well, it’s your turn now, ladies!
