New suspension book!

Great news, but first a big congratulations to Matt Larkin for the indie release of his first book. For the last few years he’s been shooting the folks from Rites of Passage using ambrotype photography (ie. wet plate, a 19th century technique that’s rare these days). Click on the pictures to jump to BMEshop where it’s available (and visit Matt on IAM if you’d like to see more pictures).

I’m eagerly watching my mailbox for my copy, I’ve been looking forward to this book for a long time now!

Cat Fight! (Female pubic mound pulling)

So a little while back we got photos to BME from Steve Truitt of his girlfriend Kasja and a friend doing a “vagina pull” (a female pubic mound flesh hook pull). After seeing the photos, I wasn’t sure if I should be very amused, very turned on, or both! It’s not the first time that we’ve seen a pull of this kind (I think the first one took place at one of the Philly or NJ BBQs if I recall correctly), but Kasja and her friend looked like they were having so much fun that I had to talk to her about it.

Shannon: Could you tell me a bit about yourself?

Kasja: I’m twenty-one, born and raised in New Mexico, and I’ve been into hooks and what-not for a little over four years now. I plan to keep on playing for as long as I live — I think it makes me a better person.

Shannon: What do you call this kind of pulling?

Kasja: Well, one day I was bored and thinking of places I could throw a hook into myself. I figured it couldn’t hurt too bad on the mound, so I started thinking of names for it — haha! Steve calls it a “vag tug” but I call it a “cat fight”… Tacky, I know… The first time it was just to see if it could be done; this was the second time, just for the amusement..

Shannon: What’s it feel like to be in a cat fight?

Kasja: The piercing is awesome! It makes my whole body pull into itself, and creates a swarm of butterflies in my tummy. I loved it.

Shannon: It looks like you were both having fun…

Kasja: I was having a blast watching the skin pull away from the body. I though it was just too funny so I kept pulling but she ended up feeling sick.

Shannon: What did the pulling feel like?

Kasja: Pulling felt very awkward — not good awkward, but not bad. Almost sexy, had it been in a different situation.

Shannon: So there could be a sexual element in a different scene? — I know there are definitely people turned on by the pictures.

Kasja: Both times I’ve done this, it’s always been in a joking manner. We’ve played limbo, and are thinking of a jump-rope competition! However, there could totally be a sexual sense to a hook in the snatch! It makes you weak and vulnerable, but totally in control at the same time.

Shannon: And how did it feel the next day?

Kasja: Bruised, haha! But I love bruises.

Shannon: Finally, any advice to girls who’d like to give this a try?

Kasja: Pull hard!

Loose Heart Cuttings

Maggie had these hearts cut for her by (obviously, since it’s signed) Howie (Luna Cobra). When I say “loose” I mean the design’s big loose strokes, which I think will leave a nice organic shape in the end… so you won’t quite know whether it’s an intentional heart scar, or if it’s whipmarks that just happen to have healed that way…
