Feet positioned on women - bugs me!

Is it? I wonder how you can tell?

After seeing this subject last night I did some reading on the phenomenon. From what I saw Paris Hilton got a lot of credit for creating, or at least popularizing the look.

Last time I saw Paris Hilton, it was sitting on an acre of prime land, was built of concrete and didn't have any feet! So, not sure what you are talking about

Allow me to resurrect an older thread. Since im venturing out into a new world of photography myself...

I believe that since glamour work is intended to evoke a certain emotional response there are several poses in use...

Pigeon toes and as mentioned the single finger on a pouting mouth should indicate an innocent or naive mentality of the subject.

Likewise sitting on the edge of a bed or couch, leaning over a little would imply a more "experienced" or mature level of sexuality.

Another is a woman standing angled slightly off center of camera, hee hands on her hips and one leg thrust out will convey power or (business) successfulness...

Just my thoughts at 0330...

A feminist spontaneously combusted shortly after reading your post.

Spontaneous feminist combustion is an Internet myth.

As for the pose, my wife thinks it is of Japanese origin and goes back to some traditional images of Geishas.
