An unusual placement, but it seems to look good on him…

Fame and Fortune
I got a message today about a movie that’s doing the film festivals now, about Steve Haworth‘s work. Steve makes the point in this trailer that he’s Constitutionally protected from prosecution (which may be the case, especially in Arizona, but that still has to be tested in court before it’s a definitive statement), but I wanted to remind practitioners that I strongly urge the oldschool “word of mouth referral only” method of promotion.
It should be a fascinating movie and I’m looking forward to seeing it, but every time a media product comes out into the mainstream world, I worry about what type of attention it’s going to bring, especially when it’s tightly focussed on one person’s activities. That said, at some point I guess a line is crossed where you should be able to make the case that it’s been publicly done for long enough that it’s all de facto legal until specific laws are written codifying what’s what… (BMEshop see also: MODIFY, Like a Butterfly, Dances Sacred and Profane, and the Nomad Piercing DVD; BMEnews see also: a recent extreme body modification prosecution).
Heart Shaped Cartilage Removal
Remember that heart-shaped piece of flesh preserved in plastic that I posted a couple weeks ago? Here’s the now-healed ear it came from, Helen at The Laundry in Brisbane, Australia, who had it done by Howie (LunaCobra) during his Australian tour.
“The beginning of my filmography”

“You can even win an Emmy!”
Robin writes,
“I know my piercings aren’t insane, but I thought you would like to know that you can be a professional with piercings, and you can even win an Emmy!”
If you’re wondering, Robin won his Emmy in “outstanding visual effects in a miniseries or special” for his work on The Triangle. (See also: Pierced Scientists).
