I'm a fairly observant guy. I have a pretty good idea what's going on around me. (Especially if there is an attractive woman involved....I didn't say that out loud, OK?) But I've noticed something the past few days that I can't believe has gotten by me until now: Women are standing funny these days. Have they done this all along or is this something new?
The lady on Good Morning America stands funny. So does the Channel 8 weatherguesser lady.
Models are standing funny, too. Did you notice it before I pointed it out? Instead of just planting their feet and standing solidly on terra firma, they're crossing their legs like they really, really need to go to the bathroom.
Even in catalogues where they're trying to sell bookshelves (or is it magazines?) they have their models posing all cross-legged. Is that supposed to subliminally get us to buy more bookshelves?
Women in China are standing funny, too.
So are really skinny girls in dire need of a cheeseburger (or three, and don't skimp on the fries).
Even Navy recruiting poster sailor-ettes pose this way. Everywhere I looked, once I began paying attention, there they were.
So what's going on? Is this some sort of fashion trend that has somehow made it under my radar until now? Dear ladies who read my blog....do YOU stand like this? Is it comfortable? Do you ever fall over? (I tried it and didn't make it 3 seconds.)
Now I'm beginning to doubt myself. What else is getting by me? Have I lost my keen sense of "coolness"? *stop snickering* I'm worried.
