Hi everyone! How is it going this week? Survived the Tiny Waist Lesson? I hope you did, 'cause we're not long done yet. So much more to learn! Let's take it slow. Let's concentrate on the arms this week. Arms are silly things, especially when you have to think about them 2-dimensional.
If you hold your arms wrong, it could look like they are growing from your stomach. Or it could look like you're arm has been cut off. Or it could look like ...
... well, tons of options actually. Take a look at your book again. That book where you collect the pics you love and adore. Check them on the following tips.



You're arms are really handy tools. You can vary your poses with your arms. You can cover your weaknesses and accentuate your strengths with them. You can cover your love handles with them. They are just very good friends.
There's a few things you can do with these buddies:
1. Hide one of your arms behind your body (see the picture on the left, above). Including shoulder! Otherwise it'll look like your arm has been amputated. Stick the arm you're hiding to your body and turn your shoulder to the back.
2. Show both of your arms. Beware! When your put you're hands on top of your head, don't ruin your hair and put your hand gently on the back of your head, slightly touching (picture on the right, above, I will give you tips about the hands nexy Saturday, remind me).
3. When sitting, point your arms in the same direction as your legs (picture on the right -->).
Other things you have to bare in mind when posing: show the full length of your arms. Leave a lot of space - 'air' - between your arm and your body. When you stick it to your body, you will look squat. This is even more important when your sleeve is the same color as your sweater. Especially dark colors.
And finally, 2 DON'TS:
- NEVER POINT YOUR ELBOWS TOWARD THE CAMERA
- DON'T OVER STRETCH THEM
Good luck with all these tips. How are the models doing in the pictures you collected? Love to know. See you next week!
