Hit counters added

I’ve added some experimental hit counters and entry counters so we can do “top posts” and so on… I’m still fine tuning it (I’m neither a PHP programmer nor a CSS guy) so it won’t look quite the same as it does now (with the top posts at the front of the page; I’ll probably move a longer list into the sidebar). And of course all of the numbers were ’0′ beginning about 11 AM EST on June 9, 2006… I have other features I want to add too but we really need to wait for a new server to come in because this one’s having the occasional kernel panic under the load of everything it’s hosting.

In any case, if the above is totally boring to you, let me distract you with the beautiful Syndel at a higher resolution than you see her in the main title bar above!

Oh, and I’m off now to get my uvula pierced (for the third or fourth time), so I may or may not post again here later tonight, but do expect a members update on the main BME site unless things go terribly wrong, haha…

Wing Scarification

Now, I’ve mentioned time and time again that I think Dave Gillstrap is one of the most talented and cutting edge scarification artists working in the world today. However, and I feel terrible saying this, but when I see these angel wings on Allison, all I can think of is the hullaballoo about the “shell with hidden penis tattoo” a while back.

All I can think of though when I see the top of the wing (mostly because of the glans-defining blood droplet), is that it’s supposed to be a horse penis. I’m sure it will heal fine and of course it’s in part an illusion because of the blood, but in these fresh photos that’s all I keep seeing when I look… Ehhh… My mind is probably warped by looking at too many human penises.

But anyway, I think that piece will look amazng when it’s done, almost like the ghostly white shadow of wings on her back rather than an explicit image like you’d get with a tattoo.
