Welcome to my Body Blog where I document my body modification practices. I am interested in the intersections of beauty, gender, aging, objectification, and obscenity.

8 Week Cut to Reduce Body Fat
I ate in a caloric deficit for 8 weeks (while consistently weight training to maintain muscle mass) between the dates of Monday July 4 and Sunday August 28. Through out the duration of the cut my calories decreased from approximately 1850, to 1575, to 1450, to 1300. I consistently ate 135 grams of protein a…
78 (Plus) Units of Botulinum Toxin
In this video I inject 6 units of botulinum toxin into my procerus muscle. I injected a total of 78 units dispersed amongst the black landmarks on my face and neck. Botulinum toxin produces temporary paralysis of targeted muscles to decrease the appearance of wrinkles. I injected an additional 22 units to undertreated areas after…
2 Syringes of Hyaluronic Acid
I had two syringes of crosslinked hyaluronic acid professionally injected into my cheeks. This treatment restores facial volume loss associated with aging to produce a more youthful appearance.
Microneedling with Hyaluronic Acid
In this video I microneedle my face and neck with semi-crosslinked hyaluronic acid. The microneedling pen moves multiple thin needles quickly in and out of the skin while the hyaluronic acid provides slip for the pen and hydration to the skin. This treatment is thought to stimulate collagen synthesis to “combat” signs of aging.
60 PDO and PCL Threads
In this video I insert a total 60 PDO (polydioxanone) and PCL (polycaprolactone) threads into my face and neck. Each needle has a small thread that is left behind in the skin when the needle is removed. Both thread types are thought to stimulate collagen synthesis to “combat” signs of aging.
