    • Nice work, this Man on the Street technique works really well for the Street Style series but I've never seen it applied to another topic. Interesting...

    • Great editing, interesting getting random people with piercings on the streets of barcelona to open up and explain why they got their piercing and how they feel about it. I wonder how many people had to be approached and how many interviews had to be left on the cutting room floor to put this one together. Congrats to producer, presenter, interviewer and director Podtarts (where does that come from??) and also to Lorena.

    • Interspersing interviews with scenes from around BCN, Wood et al. shed light on the piercing trend but also capture the zeitgeist of BCN today: freewheeling, energetic, youthful and . . . masochistic?

      Particularly intruiged by all the elective genital mutilation.

    • Me and the botox babes loved this video. we would love to live in Barcelona but could never leave the suburbs - because we know that's where we belong - unlike the adventurous roving reporter Elizabeth. Barcelona looks so risque - would you ever consider doing a similar doco on the pressures of being a beautiful housewife in CT. We have amazing (rejuvenated) clitori here too. Reconstruction is big in OGCT.

    • I think this video is thoughtful and dynamic. It's vibrancy is a welcome feature and what a great subject choice. Keep making these movies!

    • I really enjoyed this clip. It gives an inside look into what motivates people to pierce themselves in all sorts of 'interesting' places...Elizabeth asks the questions that many of us want to know the answers to but don't have the guts to ask! Great shots of Barcelona too.

    • Very upbeat! Always wondered about piercings - I think it's all about getting attention-the weirder location the better! Great shots of Barcelona - makes me want to go there...

    • At the begining of the video I thought that the scenes and the music were quite common. But then the issue was rather interesting and I really liked the comments of the interviewees. Its all about pain and pleasure. I wasn't aware of this... I might get a piercing.

      Thanks
