Posturing Poses and Beautiful Lines

[Mimi First]

Hey Chickies,
I'm giving myself the challenge of trying to work more "pose" moments into some of my Classic Burlesque numbers. I could use your help to find some inspiration. I'd love it if we could compile some images of Performers past and present caught in incredible poses. By incredible I mean poses that really accentuate the lines of the body and play it up in such a way as to make it memorable. It would also be really great to try and note what exactly is being played up or highlighted in the pose. For Example; I am not a leggy lady - So I might find a photo that showcases a pose which would play off of my body type by accentuating the legs to make the body look longer. I'll post some pics to give you a visual idea of what I mean.

Thanks in advance everybody for helping me and being gentle with me as this is my first post :)

This is a neat one.

Thanks Nola! This is exactly what I'm talkin about - look at those perfectly pointed toes.

Wow. I wanna move like that!

Have you ever done ballet? That can help you with the pointed toes thing. And with grace and balance.

yeah actually I have take some ballet classes the turn out's really brutal but gorgeous. I was also a competitive figure skater for 10 years so that helped too!
