TRAUMA 2012 Take Two
TRAUMA has become a two night event, and there is STILL never a dull moment. I STILL was not able to see everything there was to see! Here are my favorites from night two.
Again – all images are in a single gallery at the bottom of the page. If you had your photo taken by me – it is in there! If you had it taken by someone else swing by the TRAUMA site!
Button and her Notions kicked the nigh off right with some painting by Cloudhaus and some ponies… and hotness.
Fucking SLASH! ROCK!
Robotainment courtesy of Electrocult Circus during a music mishap for The Sex Kitten Purr=lesque. He made it work!
More Coreroc ladies tonight including Viva Valezz! and a Velvet Heart! OH – be sure to stop by The Fierce Burlesque page for info on the traveling festival!
We took some time out in a more private setting (yeah, the John – what?!) for some extra hot photos
Someone took a picture, of me taking this picture… lol
Lindsay Hearts and Nikki Hearts dropped in for a photo op while we were hogging the bathroom. These ladies are moving on to the big LA – I will miss them both WAH!
The Suspension Artists Collective took the stage and put on a suspension show not to be missed. I’ve seen my share of suspensions, but I have NEVER seen what mister Mute One pulled off. More of that in a minute. First though, the ladies:
I wish you could tell how fast this girl was spinning around, holy hell. Seriously.
Miss Jamie Mayhem is my favorite suspension artist. The girl just glides through the air. And look how damn cute she is. None of that scowling “I’ll rip your face off” stuff with her – no sir – she is all smiles. And for that, we thank her. And that is the coolest suspension rig I’ve ever seen. I want one to hang on my wall. LOL
Intentional blur. I was panning. I like it!
I was using a wide angle lens here. I could have touched her. She swung over the crowd it was saaaaweeet!
I was loving this girl too. Anybody who can hang from hooks in their ribs and do it with style earns points in my book.
Come toward the liiiiiiight…. lol
Ok back to Mute One. The crazy SOB starts out with this climbing harness type thing all up between his legs, and I am thinking “what the fuck are YOU up to?” but I had NO CLUE what he was up to!
I was taken by surprise when he cut the harness, and FLIPPED so I didn’t get a photo. But here is a video by my good friend Sir Todd Eko. He takes awesome video (and pictures) – because he’s Todd Eko.
Right after these shots he cut the final rope and landed on his damn feet LIKE A BOSS.
Me: “Do Jazz Hands by your face!”
Lars the host with the most
OK this was the BEST. Besides MY costume of course lol seriously though, they looked like damn Oompa Loompas!
Speaking of my costume – here’s a good shot of it from We Are Glitterati who always runs a fantastic photo booth at all the places to be…. can you guess who I was?
P.S. If you took photos in the booth and want to buy a print you can swing by their gallery here: We Are Glitterati TRAUMA booth prints
Anna and the Annadroids with another performance. I love their aerial performances so much! Don’t forget to stop by their Indiegogo project for Clone Zone and make a donation! Score yourself some Annadroid swag in the process. Show some love Columbus!
I love this shot. So grungy and UNGH DIRTY!
Favorite image of the night! It’s slightly cropped due to my blog template, but you can surely see why I love it. This woman was phenomenal!
That’s all folks! Look forward to next year, I know I do!

TRAUMA 2011 – Two
TRAUMA is a great place to catch some suspensions. Mute-one, Jamie mayhem, Dave K, Marsh, Lauren D, Bella Vendetta of The Suspension Artist Collective put on a fantastic show!
Bella Vendetta is smokin hot – I am sad I didn’t get better shots of her suspension. There’s always the next show!
The one on the right is crap, I only posted it because they took the photo at the exact same moment I did and that blew me away. The flare is pretty right?
Some fun costumes from the first night…
The man that makes it all happen, and the woman behind him!
The BP guys complete with dead sea creatures
Jim Morrison stopped by
I have no idea… but I dig his costume
My favorite!
The Pope comes to TRAUMA every year, it’s that awesome.
I’ve got no idea what this is, I think it’s a rockstar shrimp. I’ve searched my lil mind for a pop culture reference but I’m coming up dry.
Random partiers
This girl was glowing all night loved it
I took this photo because of the shadow, then found out I knew the guy!
She’s on stilts… too bad I was more focused on her boobs. Thats my job!
Super sleuths!
They had an aborted demon baby strapped to his back. Try as I might I couldnt get a shot of it. Its head spun and it had glowing red eyes!
Bunny emcee Lars made the costume contest loads of fun
STILL more photos….
Miss the first round? Swing by the original post:

TRAUMA 2007
TRAUMA is the best party I’ve been to – every single year! There are always great acts, the best costumes, and opportunities to indulge your voyeuristic side. There’s something for everybody and even if you just go for the dancing and music your night will be top notch!
Never tried bondage? You can participate in a demonstration at TRAUMA and see what you think!
Even though there are no people in this photo it’s one of my favorites of the night!
The Tank
How colorful
Best OHRG costume!
My vote for best costume almost went to this guy…
But then I saw this guy… do you know what it is (besides a huge penis)? I do!
Rope and zip tie bondage
The Annadroid photo on the right is one of my faves, I’ve gotten lots of love about that shot.
DJ Zachary Allan Starkey’s hands at work
The line outside went pretty far… I needed a wider angle!
Only Flesh suspensions
I decided to drag the shutter, and see what I got from other tog’s flashes. I was pleasantly surprised at how sweet it turned out!
Bound and apparently spanked until she had a red bottom!
Viewer participation! You can’t see, but this performer is on stilts – those flowers really were right at nose level. I call this one “stopping to smell the flowers”
I really don’t know who this guy is, but he gives me the double finger every time I see him at an event in that costume! Maybe I know him… and he’s just having fun laughing under there because I don’t know!
