FASHION RANT: THE PIGEON TOES POSE

by | Aug 24, 2011 | ART

When a girl in this town gets her picture taken, there are a lot of things going through her head. “Do my arms look fat?,” “Do I look bi-curious enough?,” and “O-M-G is this going up on Dirty Richmond?” are just a few. A question she should probably consider is “Do my feet look stupid?” One person that forgot to ask herself that question is this girl.

The pigeon toes pose has to be one of the worst positions to put your body in if you are attempting to look cute. If you are attempting to look physically deformed however, you hit the mark. Being pigeon toed is a real thing. It comes from some of the leg bones in the shin or thigh twisting to the inside of a person’s body, forcing their feet and toes to point inward. I’m sure pigeon toed people find it flattering when you mimic their tragic misfortune to draw attention to your new Toms.

There are plenty of other available positions for your feet. There’s the “knee slightly bent” pose, the “lean on some shit” pose, the “one-foot-awkwardly-behind-the-other,” and who can forget the classic “stand like a normal person.” Drop the wanna-be Anthropologie model attitude, and be cute for cute’s sake.
