I feel like I kind of shortchanged Biohazard the last couple times I posted him by picking unflattering pictures, so I wanted to post these two (the second is after the break) of him doing an arm pull — you can see that the “cheek ladder” he has looks pretty neat.

I would so fall off my bike if I attempted what Des.iree from Valencia is doing with Neek and Lewis…!

Thanks to Tan0k for updating me on a recent suspension performance — Horrorshow 2 (26/03/2008) — by Moscow’s Pain Theatre. More pictures are in his ritual gallery as well as a couple more after the break (including one for those who prefer male eyecandy).

This intense two-point resurrection-style suspension is from a recent The Hanged Man Team show in Melbourne Australia (c/o Piercing Pete). Click through for another photo from the same event, a22-person circle jerk, assuming I’m counting correctly.

With all due apologies, I got a chuckle out of this “caught in the act” photo of Archetype’s pulling (just after the hooks came out)… The look on John’s face is priceless!

Speaking of birthdays, for her birthday Psychotronic did this absolutely beautiful pull with BevelsnBreakdwns on the beach in Salinas, CA.

Dear ModBlog,
Brian in the Netherlands got his toes cut up by the girls from Dare2wear in Amsterdam, with Julia cutting the 666, and Sharon cutting the HELL… Both of them were cut simultaneously, which he describes as a “different” feeling! (Cut him some slack, it’s not as if English is his first language). Julia also did the goat-head cutting on his shin, and Ilya did the spider skin-peelings at Lab360 in Amsterdam.


Brian is also a performer, and recently did this suspension show in Maastricht, The Netherlands, assisted by Raoul and Beto… The facial hooks — my favorite part — were inspired by the movie Hellraiser (and remind me of Casshan’s shows).
I’ll write again later tonight,
- Shannon

I’m pretty sure that this face — captured at Swingshift Sideshow’s House of Fun and Blood — says, “I am so drunk… WTF is going on and who are these weirdos?”

Peco, who just did a traditional Hindu-style pulling (click for another picture or visit the galleries on BME) with his cousin Tiago in Campinas, Brasil, writes, “Lord Murugan was there with us, and was amazing!”

Bluestar cleans up from — judging by the smiles and the blood — some flesh hook pulling fun at memento_mori’s place.

I am very lucky I don’t live at Steve Truitt’s house because I already have enough medical problems and don’t need to add priapism to the list. If you haven’t read it already, there’s an interview about the cat fight. Click to zoom…

I just love this shot of Jennifer pulling, sent in by Darren at Tranceformations in Nanaimo, BC, Canada.

I spend too much time in the company of four year olds, because the first thing I thought when I looked at this picture was “chooo choooo!”.

Here’s a shot from the first show that Mike Nub did with AMF at The Derby in LA, August 13, 2004. Since I’m sure it’s the first thing a lot of people are wondering, he lost his forearm in an industrial accident — you can read the story of what happened here. Check out his IAM page for videos of performance and more.

“I was out of the hospital in less than two weeks, my hand being replaced by phantom sensations and a stainless steel hook. I’ve since abandoned the hook, as well as any ‘hand’ attachments that came with it. To this day, I still have those sensations, even though they fade more and more as time passes. I’ve never had too much grief either over the whole ordeal… guess it didn’t make much sense to. In actuality, it has in a lot of ways made me a more complete person, a stronger man, a better individual. I’ve learned how to be more outgoing, more thoughtful and more observant. Above all, I finally learned despite everything how to feel pride, something I could never grasp, even with two hands.”
