Put Your Best Foot Forward

[admin]

I have ranted about how women pose on the red carpet so often my daughter*won't even look at runway photos with me anymore,* It is amazing to me that SOMEONE doesn't*grab these women by the hair*and show them how to stand.* These are some of the poses that make me crazy.

First: "I am wearing my mother's high heels and I can't keep my balance."

Second:* "I shouldn't have had that beer in the limo.* Now I gotta pee."

Third: My cousin told me if I lock one knee back, and bend the other, I will look sexay.

Fifth: Hands on hip.*Check.* Hips out.* Check.* Arch the back.* Check.* *Boy, my Barbizon tuition sure paid off.

Look at the difference between a good pose and a bad pose.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dita-von-teese_intotheart.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7524 aligncenter" title="dita-von-teese_intotheart" src="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/dita-von-teese_intotheart.jpg" alt="" width="264" height="489" /></a></p>

I have never seen Dita Von Teese in a pigeon toe, knock knee or*have to pee pose.* She seems to always have*great *body awareness when cameras are around.* I think these are Louboutins on Dita.
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/kerry-washington_intotheart.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-7529 aligncenter" title="kerry-washington_intotheart" src="http://www.shoeblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/kerry-washington_intotheart.jpg" alt="" width="263" height="395" /></a></p>

Kerry Washington usually has great body awareness too,*but sometimes the shoes seem just too high for her and she goes pigeon toed.

Isabella Huppert is standing*to maximize stability.**She*doesn't seem to be weaving or catching her balance as she stands on super high platforms.**These three women*are something else.

Doesn't*Queen Latifah look wonderful?

OK.* What does this have to do with anything?* If you are going to wear fabulous shoes, then look fabulous wearing them.**When*you are standing in line to see a movie, pose properly, and look not awkward, but amazing. *You can look stunning in your Havaianas if you are aware of your body.**Conversely, you can wear a pair of Louis Vuitton runway shoes and look silly because you don't know how to stand -*see*the first photo.** You don't have to be young - look at Sharmila, Isabelle and Robin.* You don't have to be thin -*look at Queen Latifah.* Just present yourself well, and you will be beautiful.
