Strike A Pose!

Know why actresses (almost) always look so good?  They've mastered the art of how to pose for a picture.  A bit of Spanx helps a too.

If you don't want to look bad (aka fat) in a picture, don't ever face a camera straight on.  Notice that all the actresses and models are always standing at angles.

I am 'borrowing' the simple photo primer below from the Jan/Feb, 2013 issue of Mental Floss Magazine.  (This is a cool magazine that let's you feel super smart when you wow your friends with useless information and trivia.)

It may seem like many steps to remember. At the very least, hand on hip, one foot in front of the other, and turn sideways a bit.  It often helps to hold your tongue on the roof of your mouth when you  smile. Say Cheese!
