Smile Like You're Dead Inside

White Girl Posing Guide (feat. Terence Wiggins)

1. The Over-The-Shoulder. Begin by slowly and casually walking away from your photographer. Then, while keeping your body facing forward, turn your head and look over your shoulder flirtatiously. Or lazily. Whichever comes more naturally.

2. The Standard White Girl Pose. If you are a girl who is white, you were born with this pose genetically encoded into your DNA. Put one hand on your hip, tilt your head, and BOOM. Picture Magic.

3. The Statue. Stand with your hips facing the photographer. Prop on hand on your hip, and pretend to use your other hand to lean against something. Looking great, ladies!

4. The Touch. Use one or both hands to gently touch any part of your body above the shoulders, including but not limited to your neck, hair, cheek, or lip.

5. The Smile-With-Your-Eyes, aka Smize. Tyra may have invented it, but the white girls perfected it. Make direct and intense eye contact with the camera. Let the emotion flow through you.

Last but not least…

6. The Lifetouch. Remember all those awesome poses they made you do on Picture Day in Elementary School? Evoke your inner child by using this pose. Lay down on the ground, prop your chin up in one or both hands, and kick your feet to the side. Perfect!

 

I figured my blog audience would also find delight in the absurdity that I took part in this weekend.
