A little while back, the gang from Ascension Body Mods got together for some suspensions.  Below you can check out Lesha.FFG hanging out in the warm New Mexico sun.  You might recognize Lesha from her unique scarification that was featured a couple of years ago.

After some discussion with Sean and TrickyDick, we decided to name this “The Invisible Chair”.  Of course if there is another name for it, please let me know as the three of us couldn’t think of it.

Anyway, Steve was the one who threw the hooks for Lesha, and he was also the one to cut down her legs so she could transition into a suicide.  For those of you who have never seen a transition before, keep on reading as Steve sent in a video of the transition.

Here is a video sent from our friends in Pain Solution. These guys really have a great grasp on the performance art side of sideshow performance, and I hope everyone enjoys this video as much as I did.

PS: Thanks to Roo, for making this video into a format even I could figure out how to post.

People who know me well will tell you that I am a Youtube-er. I browse their vids all the time, and post them everywhere and anywhere. I really enjoy the videos coming out of Current’s channel, what with all the tongue in cheek humor and colourful characters.  This video is a guide on how to make a Youtube video about your new tattoo. And if you are looking for something a little…racier? Well why not check out some of these videos.

Cheers!

Scott Marx sent me this video he made on suspension. It’s a short documentary that was filmed in Athens, Ohio at Art Apocalypse.

I was lucky enough to be able to tag along with Tommy Agriodimas while he was doing a photo shoot with Fat City Reprise. After chatting for a while about their tattoos and their Philly origins, I figured I’d video some of it to share on BME. We did a quick interview and I threw together this video in the cab of a 26′ moving truck during the drive from NYC to LA.

Check out Fat City Reprise Thursday nights at House of Blues in Los Angeles.
