It’s going to be one of those days
Because I haven’t done one in a while, today’s going to be an all BMEGirl day. You can all thank Chris M Day for adding a whole bunch of new photos to the BMEGirls Gallery.
Learning to Fly
For those of you unfamiliar with Wings of Desire, they’re one of the world’s finest suspension teams and hosts to The Oslo SusCon. Håvve and the rest of the gang are always at the forefront of modern suspension and now they’re about to do something that hasn’t been accomplished in many years, and that is publish a book on suspension. Now in order for the book to be published, a minimum number of pre-orders need to be made. The book, featuring the photography of Helene Fjell, is a chronicle of the past 10 years that Wings of Desire has been together. Here’s a bit more about the book.
The book has been a long term project; planned since the very beginning of the Norwegian chapter in suspension history. Helene, our photographer, has been present since Håvve first came out as a Fakir in 1991 and has followed his work for more than two decades. As our official photographer, most of the body suspensions facilitated by Wings of Desire (WoD) can be found in her archives.
Helene’s photographs show more than the beauty of suspended bodies, they also capture the emotion of the moment. There are also a multitude of stories belonging to the people depicted. To give a slight impression of their various feelings and experiences, we have included selected quotes from people who have been suspended by Wings of Desire.
The foreword is written by Håvve’s first mentor, Allen Falkner. The history and philosophy behind WoD practice is put into words by the Norwegian suspension pioneer and creator of WoD, Håvve.
Instead of choosing a publisher, we have decided to publish this book ourselves. We know that we have the experience and ability to make this book a striking visual and emotional testimony—as well as an historical artifact of a decade’s worth of continuous improvement of equipment and technique. What we need is your help to make it happen!
Wings of Desire have partnered with a Kickstarter-like site for independent authors. What this means is that all the funds that go directly into the creation of the book, with nothing being tacked on by a publisher. The down side to this is that in order to be published, they need to sell 500 pre-orders by May 7th. So if you’re interested in getting a copy of what is sure to be an incredible book, head on over to this site to order your copy.
Forget your keys?
It’s been a while since they’ve been in stock, but I’m happy to announce the BME Key Chains are back at the BMEShop! You should grab one today, because these tend to sell out quick. In other shop news, we’ve got a new supplier for the key chains, so if they do go out of stock, it won’t be years before they’re back in again. Also, expect to see the return of the BME Belt Buckles in a few weeks!
Forget about BMEGirls
Today is about BMEWomen. Specifically VEAL. A woman Shannon once called “The kinkiest housewife I know”.
Oh, there’s another photo, but you’ll have to read ahead to see it.
Be sure to check out the BMEGirls gallery to see more of this beautiful modified woman.
Icarus Falling
Tattoo artist Sean Ambrose describes this tattoo as “Flying man on fire“, but I can’t help but think of Icarus when I see any image of a man in the sky with his arms aflame.
Sean works at Arrows and Embers Custom Tattooing in Concord, NH.
There Be Dragons
It’s hard to see in the before photo, but this is actually a cover-up of a cover-up. That’s right, this is the third dragon to live on that shoulder, and hopefully it’ll be the last one. Jackie Rabbit took 6 hours over 2 sessions to create this monster. I think what stands out the most for me is how she managed to get the light colours to stand out while covering up some darker ones.
Smelling something new
I’m not going to claim this is the first time someone has done this piercing, but it is rare enough that neither Jen nor I have seen it before, and we’ve seen a lot.
Sent in by Amiraye, this subnasal piercing differs from a septum piercing in that it goes directly through the tissue at the bottom of her nose. Definitely not something you see every day.
It’s a good Friday
Guess What?
Zero. That’s right none, zip, nada. That’s how many people are going to get this one.
Take your best guess. It’ll be wrong, but guess anyway.
Now unless you’ve already seen this in the galleries, there’s no possible way you could have guess that you were looking at a heavily play-pierced hand
Here’s one more just to give you a bit of perspective on just how many needles there are.
A big thanks to Sadistica for giving us yet another picture for Guess What? Be sure to check out Sadistica’s hard bonus gallery.
