-- PARIS -- A Paris activist pierced her skin with giant fishhooks and hung herself from the ceiling of a boutique Thursday in a radical protest at the threat of extinction facing the world's sharks.You go girl!
Artist and animal rights activist Alice Newstead speared the skin of her shoulderblades with oversized shark fishing hooks, fitting her feet into a harness, to be hoisted up into the air.
She spent 15 minutes suspended in the window of a Lush Cosmetics store in the south of the capital, as passers-by walked along the busy boulevard, her skin stretched upward and streaked with blood.
