Stress Relief 101

People de-stress in many different ways.  Some prefer a hot bath, while others do yoga, and there are even those who prefer things like paintball to relieve tension.  When the lovely Danae gets stressed, she finds that suspending is the best way to clear her mind.  Take her most recent knee suspension.  You can see in the photos just how calming it is for her, as if all the stress in her body is flowing downwards and out, leaving her clearheaded and peaceful.

This Week in BME


And finally, folks, let’s conclude our week with the lovely Candace, who seems to have misplaced her top. Ha ha, klutz. Luckily, this gives us a nice vantage point from which to view her in-progress sleeve by Toronto’s own Derek Lewis. After the jump, our hero puts some damn clothes on.

And that’s the week, folks! What did we grudgingly accomplish post-Labor Day?

An anonymous benefactor arrived sporting some pretty fantastic implants.

This suspension was so nice, we would have liked to frame it. We were beaten to it.

Danae + leather pants = welcome to ModBlog!

Can you think of a better place to keep your various flora?

Oh hey there is a big sale going on at BME Shop right now go buy lots of stuff please.

We were a little jealous of Anna’s bowl, not gonna lie.

Do not anger the Angry Owl God.

We may be around over the weekend, especially if all goes well and we’re able to post a wonderful and hilarious interview that we think you folks will really love. Either way, Monday morning, we gas this baby back up and get back to the usual grind. Until then, have fun, stay safe and, of course, thank you for your continued support of BME. Enjoy the weekend, folks.

BME Shop is having a huge sale — everything in the store (except anesthetics) is 25% off! Go stock up at shop.BMEzine.com before this deal ends!

Nature’s Onions


And finally, gentle ModBloggers, we conclude our broadcast day with the lovely Danae, whose presence on these here internets we always enjoy. Does it get much better than a pretty lady sporting some fine tattoo work, clean and subtle piercings and some fancy leather pants? No. No it does not. Well, OK, maybe if she bought the leather pants from a traveling salesman in the Ozarks. There is, happily, another shot after the jump. Until tomorrow.

Birthday Suspension

Danae (Queen of the Covergirls) wrote me with the story of her recent birthday suspension,

I’d been talking to Steve Truitt for a little while over iam, and he invited me to come down to Upland, CA to watch a suspension event he was doing with Jon. It was the weekend of my birthday in December, so I drove down with a friend and met up with a couple more friends. Adam came with us to take pictures, Mateo and Meli came along to hang. We all met up with Steve and Jon in Upland. Steve told me I could hang if I decided I was ready. After watching my Meli, who has a birthday within a couple of days of mine, I decided I was ready to go up.

After getting my hooks thrown (four point suicide), which was not as bad as I expected it to be, Steve hooked me up to the rig. Jon pulled on the rope and put a little tension on the hooks. I felt my whole body get warm. I was so calm and ready for this experience. Steve walked me back and forth and with each step I felt lighter and lighter. Before I knew it, I was up. I felt like everything negative in my heart and mind had melted away from me. I just remember I couldn’t stop smiling. Everything felt perfect and right, like I belonged on those hooks.

My back felt really tight, so I started swinging around and reaching behind me and grabbing my feet. Everything loosened up after that. It was so much fun! I could have stayed up forever it seems, but it was starting to get cold and dark and there were about four or five other people waiting to hang, so I decided it was time to come down after about twenty minutes.

Anyway, thanks for letting me share! It was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to do it again.

Lots more pictures after the break!
