Because if you do, can you tell her that she’s the first in a day full of BMEGirls?
Yep, you read that right, all day today will be BMEGirls! Katya_Kareya sent in this picture of herself to the stretched lobes gallery, but I found myself looking mostly at her anti-eyebrows, as well as her eyes, which just give off this awesome hyperreal vibe. It gives her the look of one of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s characters.
The last time a lip corset was shown on ModBlog was back in 2007. There may have been one since then, and I’m sure if there has someone will find it, but it definitely seems to be a rare type of corsetry. BME user DivaPayyne sent in this image of her lip corset recently. Stylistically, the pink ribbon combined with the pink hair gives her an almost doll-like quality.
The different types of interpretations that a lip corset can bring about are interesting. Historically, the corset was used by women to force their bodies into a desired shape in order to satisfy the societal demands that were imposed on them. Nowadays corsets are used for a variety of different uses, some stylistically, some for fetishists, others for practical use, and so on. When it comes to corset piercings, the aesthetic of the corset is combined with the classical usage of a corset. The idea of binding. Now of course this doesn’t apply to all corset piercings, but there are some that do emphasize the constricting nature of a corset. When this is applied to the lips, you get a sense that the woman’s lips are binded in a way to prevent her from speaking out past what is expected of her.
One of the most important aspects of a corset piercings is the process, putting in the piercings, stringing them together, and the eventual release and removal of the corset. So while from an outsiders point of view we see the mid point of the process, the corset in place, for the people getting them it is much more than that. Looking back on this individual image, DivaPayyne’s lips are bound together, but at some point, with the tug of a string, she will be free of her bindings and able to speak again.
As always you can check out more corset piercings in the corset gallery, where in addition to this particular lip corset, there are a great deal more images that show just how creative people can be when it comes to creating a corset.
Ah, and here we have some shots from a photo shoot that local favorite lanileegarver (more) did with Johnny Rocket. Another shot from the set, after the jump.

Whew, is it getting warm in here? I think I may go for a swim to cool down. I’ll be in this young lady’s eyes if anyone needs me.

I’ve gotta be honest: I don’t think that apple’s going to be any good to eat.

Most of the time, it’s really easy to write a pithy little joke or pun about each image that goes up on ModBlog — not to make fun of the subject, of course, but to add levity, provide context, or piss off the humorless. This is not one of those times.
