It seems that looking gorgeous may have to be painful as well, high fashion may hurt… or at least Tyra Banks says so.
Watching America’s Next Top Model (ANTM) and the Pain episode, you learn something new… when in doubt of what to do in front of a camera… think pain + beauty.
EW has a great story about this one.
It seems to come down to these points when looking for a model pose.
The Headache Put one palm on your forehead and one palm on the back of your skull. And moan.
The I Just Can’t Take You Anymore Place one palm on each temple. Screaming is optional. (But I totally did when I actually spent a minute of my life rewinding to determine the difference between this pose and the Headache.)
The Heartache Hunch your shoulders inward and put a hand on your chest. If you’re Fatima, look like you lost your puppy.
The Menstrual Pain Hunch your shoulders inward and place both hands on your uterus or one on each ovary. (As Tyra noted, the girls excelled at this one.)
The Ah, I Sprained My Ankle This appears to give the model the most freedom. You can stand, sit, or flail on the floor as long as you have at last one hand touching an ankle.
