What is up with this Paris Hilton pose??

[chicsndvl]

Seriously! Every time she poses she looks stoned or something...what's her deal? Someone please explain this! And why has none of her family told her she looks stupid with her poses!?!

what is this one? The "Lean Back" music video for Fat Joe???

I don't think she looks any more retarded than others celeb poses, really.

[ThatAmericanGirl]

Maybe she's trying to look like a mannequin? Because mannequins are often posed leaning back like that...

The reason she poses like this, is because she was coached to do so. Many photographers and celebrities will tell you that by positioning your body and head in certain ways, you can eliminate some of the negative features. In this case a double chin and overly skinny frame. Her long slender arms are just to awkward to hang along side, and in order to reduce shadows and unshapely head shots, she tilts her head and puts her shoulders slightly turned.

All celebrities have a variation of this, but Paris overdoes it. She doesn't have much to work with, so the tricks of the trade are needed.

Personally, I have a problem with these pseudo-celebrities. They are poisoning our culture. You could pick a random person off the street and make them a celebrity overnight. Some makeup, a personal trainer, and saturation. You are well on your way to becoming the next useless reality based celebrity.

Yeah, I've heard the same thing. I remember a couple years ago she was on SNL, and noticed that her movements were really strange. She looked like a robot. All she did was go from one pose to another. It looked so weird. Perhaps her pose-coach should've mentioned that what he was teaching her only worked for still shots, and not on film?

She's hot! I love that pose, she does it on purpose b/c its a flattering. She knows what she's doing.:rolleyes:

hahahahahaha

[donkeyalane]

She does it in all her photo's. It's one they teach you from the start. It's the classic model pose. Stop...lean back.....hand on hip....one leg slightly bent at the knee...big smile..flash, bang, theres ya picture.

[Over rays]

There is no doubt in this that she is a hot celebrity. This is also a fact that no one can make her understand the actual situation.

Exactly! She's like that in every pic.

There is no more talentless woman on the planet than Paris - When I see a group of teenage girls all in that trashy style I think that she has a lot to answer for. For God's sake stop giving her attention - let's hope she fades away (though it is not likely to happen)

[bash]

and now she caught our attention again,, admit it,, "Paris Hilton" is a big name, She is everywhere!!!

[attentionWHORE]

i KNOW.
omfg. i cant believe im admitting this but i like Paris Hilton. its mean how everyone hates her...i mean, why does everyone like lilo or jamie-lynn spears or who ever the hell. they are all Paris Hilton wannabes and will become the next Paris Hilton in a few years time.
im not saying Paris Hilton is a really good or whatever person...i'm just saying she's not the only one and she stands out because she's "Paris Hilton".

I think her "15 minutes of fame" are up.

She isn't as newsworthy as before.

[tina.anderson]

I have seen other celebrities pose like that too, but she does look incredibly stupid doing it for some reason. Also, in the second picture, is it just me or does her face look older than in the first picture?

[eyza0603]

She doesn´t look stone, her face is like that..

[ericjones80]

I can understand that's how a model is taught...but it gets a little cliche when you look like that in every picture

[Chikadee]

I dont particularly like Paris

But she ALWAYS looks fabulous, and I don't find anything wrong with her pose to be honest

[attentionWHORE]

i like her pose.

haha. my friend's birthday party's theme was to come as your fave celeb, & i went as "Brunette Paris Hilton" and as i was downstairs listening to music and dancing and having snacks, i wanted to go to the backyard which was upstairs [the house is kinda underground if ya know what i mean]. and then as i was about to reach the door, my friends were like "Your under arrest for impersonating Paris Hilton" and they all grabbed me and put me in the yard lol. i was like "wtf?" but it was pretty funnnyyyyy.

[xander1083]

well i guess that is her signature pose.

[jhayzedream]

yeah I must agree, I think she applying what she have learned.,

[corlock]

At first, Paris has no appeal.

I guess after all those videos exposed she's getting hotter and more recognized.

[Sirk]

I think she's a twat, but I love this dress! I wouldn't wear something so low cut, but it is pretty.

but the shoes are ick

[dee_el07]

I don't put any big deal on how Paris Hilton pose.. Man, I guess she thinks she looks good when she poses like that..

[FashionPassion]

It's a models pose taught for runway for women who are tall and thin. Unfortunately she does it rather crooked so it comes out looking terrible.

[aimhigh]

All models are doing the same. If you are kin in observing them. That's how they are taught in posing. So, I didn't blame Paris Hilton on doing so.
