Measure Pleasure by the Pain


Sorry about the late post, folks—somebody forgot it was the first day of Passover. Anyway, to round off a day of great faces, here we’ve got a happy gent just cold hangin’ during a resurrection suspension in sunny Costa Rica! Sleep tight, friends—should have some good stuff for you all tomorrow. Until then.

A Bard Before a Priest


I love this picture of Steve standing ominously over twin resurrection-suspendees Dani Danger and Cari at a recent Life Suspended gig at the Arizona Fetish Ball. I have to say, though, Steve’s outfit looks like it doesn’t breathe at all, especially in a hot nightclub—someone get this man a Snuggie!

Master Bait

None of my trademark music this time, the clapping and laughing says it all..

Just a good old fashioned video of Damien suspending (vaguely reminiscent of this, no?) with The Hanged Man Team during a “Live Bait” in Melbourne, Australia.

Suspending Over the City


I really like this shot of Pirão suspending in Salvador da Bahia, Brazil. If you were to look just at the top half, it’d be your typical Christ-like outdoor woodsy suspension picture, but no—just behind him are apartments, a strip mall and city buses. Hey, a little minor cognitive dissonance never hurt anybody.

She Asked if She Could Fly, So I Gave Her Wings


This play piercing photo comes from Cris Black at Aces and Eights, who explains:

did this play piercing in Norcross, Georgia, on a client/friend of mine named Heather (on whose chest I’ve done microdermal implants). The original idea was to have both girls (Heather and Hailey) to have wings, but after seven needles were placed, Hailey passed out, so we had to make do with only the one girl. The piercings only took about 30 minutes, the photo shoot that followed took about six hours; 74 22-gauge needles. This was the first play piercing Heather had ever been a part of and she’s already asked for more—I think she’s hooked.
