STATE OF THE UNION

POSES

POSERS




Claire’s camera is out in full force, and with an aspiring photographer around, you don’t want to be caught un-glossed! GLU have to be able to get glam in a flash. After all, when you’re part of the Pretty Committee, you never know when you’ll be asked to strike a pose.


Are you camera-shy – or camera-confident? Besides re-glossing and hair-flipping (ah-bviously!), what are your tricks for wooing the camera?




Comments:

Wooing the cam? Be confident. Never show for a moment that you are nervous-- it shows x10 on camera. Act like you know what you're doing; if you do, everyone will believe it.

Puh-lease, re-glossing and hair flipping is a waste of our beauty-time (sorry!) but, my takes are just to look like what your doing. Act like a model, just pose, don't smile. "Try to smile with your eyes," -Tyra Banks, producer of America's Next Top Model :). I do Tyra's main quote and then I just do perfect neck posture, like a queen does. Do it, and LBRs will be dying 4 your picture taken.

Well... make sure you ah-lways smile. Ah-bvioulsy. GLU need to be ready. Dress your best, and keep confident. P.S. Nice post Kris.

I luv to take pics but only w/ friends.I can be myself and act silly. I don't check my makeup but sort of my hair. I love to take pics when i don't have to smile. Like modeling pics. But mostly take them w/ friends on my computer. Yea be confident and look like u know wat ur doing. And don't keep your smile. If you hold your smile for a while it will fade. So smile at the last second before someone takes a picture.

camera confident. why? cause say its that guy you like and its alpha worthy(!!!) and he says 'do u wanne take pic?' and u say 'No...' you will be an LBR forever. trust girls in my class lets say bad pics in the yearbook ;) ttyl!!! I <3 u all

Posted by lola on June 15, 2010 at 07:04 PM EDT #

I think u should always smile with a closed mouth. any tooth flaws wont show.

Posted by jakabelle on June 16, 2010 at 12:03 AM EDT #

Peace signs are so cliche! I just pretend I'm a model. Be confident and never let anyone know that Your nevous. Plus you should always turn your head from the camera a bit. Everyone knows you look better from the side instead of head-on. GLU are leaders. We're Alphas and if any LBR find out we're not confident, they'll try to use it against us. p.s: Always Dress to Impress. You Never Knoew When Someone Will ask You to "strike a pose"

1) Always look like you're having the best time of your life. 2) Look like you're having waaay to much to even notice the cameras! 3) Never touch, feel or play with your hair when you're on camera. Pretend you're hair always looks flawless. 4) Always make sure YOU'RE the center of attention. 5) When you're on camera, never, ever, EVER, re-gloss, bite your nails (Kuh-laire! :D), play with your hair, or flatten your shirt. These things will make you look like an LBR! 6) Before you go on camera, always check for mascara boogers, hair flyaways, chipped manicures, un-glossed lips, coffee-stained teeth, anything that might say LBR. These are some great tips for being on camera. As you can tell, I'm camera-confident, so if you need tips, here you go! I heart you and goodbye :)

i luv da camera and it hearts me right back

Posted by purple diva on June 16, 2010 at 11:33 AM EDT #

Oh mi gosh. Totally right I mean anyone who is caught dead with out lipgloss is absolutley put in the reject pile. Cameras capture every moment so we ofcourse have to look ahh-mazing. I mean puh-lease who would wnt to have to do a pic without gloss and make the pic a total fakeover. Makeovers are so much better.

Posted by Kayley on June 16, 2010 at 11:59 AM EDT #

Always gloss, defidently! Take pictures with your best friends, NAWT alone, else anyone will think ur just an LBR with no friends to take a pic with. BUT remember you don't always have to be the center of attention, go ahead and let your friends have a little spotlight time. Make sure you look confident for the camera, alway always always smile and just have fun and maybe get a little crazy with it! :)

Posted by Kel-Lay! on June 16, 2010 at 12:42 PM EDT #

Camera Shy?! Puh-lease. I'm never shy. In fact I'm basically a model. But never act like you don't know how to pose! Just be confident and rock that camera! I <3 you all!

Posted by Adrienne on June 16, 2010 at 01:06 PM EDT #

im a model, and i find it easy to take pictures :) camera confidentt all the wayy:)

Posted by April <3 on June 16, 2010 at 02:14 PM EDT #

1. If you can't smile without looking like a fake, laugh. 2. Look like you've been there, done that. 3. Wear something that you KNOW you look fabulous in (brings out your eyes, skin tone). 4. Wash your hair before! Duh! 5. Gloss, prep, pose and you are ready! :)

Posted by redhead89 on June 16, 2010 at 02:36 PM EDT #

I am not camera shy at all! I like reglossing(gloss is a wonderful accesory), flipping&fluffing my hair, then flashing my a million dollar shot whit me straight and white teeth. Sometimes my friends take pictures of my on my new samsung reality so its easy to upload to Facebook!

Posted by *Popular/Rich Girlie* on June 16, 2010 at 08:06 PM EDT #

why is everyone so obsessed with looking good? all that matters is that you are having funn. serioulsy? re-gloss? no offense but i think it is all ridiculous. its not gonna matter how good you look in your pictures 10 years from now.

Posted by Maddy on June 16, 2010 at 08:25 PM EDT #

ALWASE LOOK HAPPY!! Dont look nervious!! I say just be yourself! ALWASE BE YOURSELF.. DONT TRY TO BE SOMEONE UR NOT. LOL Im not camera shy.. cuz im myself and people love me for who I am :{} lol

Posted by FastPitchSoftball4Life on June 17, 2010 at 01:16 AM EDT #

Those are all toe-dally true! Great camera tips :) I have one tiny suggestion to add though: Try not to make your pictures look so posed and formal. Action shots are the best. Some of the craziest actions will turn out to be the best pictures. Also, you should know what looks best on you. In the mirror, try to see yourself with different smiles/looks. You may find your perfect picture look :)

Posted by madness on June 17, 2010 at 11:37 AM EDT #

you should always show your teeth when you smile. i used to smile with my mouth closed, and it looked really stupid. i'm surprised this has stayed on-topic for so long. usually by now, someone has a fight or something.

Posted by kaylee on June 17, 2010 at 01:51 PM EDT #

btw, i think maddy has the right idea. who cares how you look, as long as you're having fun

Posted by kaylee on June 17, 2010 at 01:53 PM EDT #

we're not bosessed w/ looking good. but we want to. everyone wants to. it sort of does matter but it's not the most important thing. and who doesn't like lip gloss

Posted by LaughLuvDream on June 17, 2010 at 03:45 PM EDT #

When you are in front of the camera you should not be shy. You should also smile and don't be afraid to show your teeth they may or may not be beautiful but they won't care as long as you are good on the scene.

Posted by BIANCA on June 17, 2010 at 05:42 PM EDT #

Umm it DOES matter how you look in pictures and I love gloss. I dont think ppl should walk around with chapped lips..

Posted by *Popular/Rich Girlie* on June 17, 2010 at 09:09 PM EDT #

Why is everyone so obsessed with looking good? All that matters is that you are having fun. Im mean seriously.. re-gloss? no offense but i think it is all ridiculous. IM not trying to be mean or anything, but some of the girls on here act so catty, and trying to be like Massie.. Well Its ridiculous, She is a charicter.. not a real person. It dosent matter what u look like or if you dont have gloss on (UR NOT GOOING TO BE ARRESTED BY THE FASHION POLICE) But I say Be yourself, Have fun and dont be obsessed with what u look like.. WE ARE ALL BEAUTIFUL :)

Posted by Tori on June 18, 2010 at 01:03 AM EDT #

I dont try to be like Massie. I've never met her so why would I like to be like her... I know your not talking to me in particular im just saying.. :)

Posted by *Popular/Rich Girlie* on June 18, 2010 at 11:20 AM EDT #

Camera confident is easy when you're god at pretend. Always be picture perfect, you don't have to be in designer studs. You can totally have a picture that will make LBRS jealous, even when you're in your jammies. It's simple, look like you know what you're doing, having fun and you too cool to care that allows you to ride on the wave of GEE. Girl Everyone Envies. Always that simple. Be yourself unless you're a LBR who's camera-shy. Let the inner-beauty shine and don't be afraid to smeyes. (Smile with your eyes, smouthing is forbidden unless it's one of those birthday/Christmas/day at the beach pictures)!!! <3

Posted by AlwaysPicturePerfect on June 18, 2010 at 01:20 PM EDT #

Since your face isn't symetrical, turn your head slightly to one side (preferably showing off your good side). Trust me , for some reason, it's more flattering! Also, DON'T try to pose like a model unless you're as flawless- looking as one... you'll just look like a total grumpy, boring wannabe. Plus, guys find smiling more attractive anyway ;)

Posted by Cutie girlll :) on June 18, 2010 at 04:37 PM EDT #

hi!! i heart makeup!! haha!!!

Posted by True Massie!!! on June 19, 2010 at 05:26 PM EDT #

1) Practice smiling in a mirror (I know sounds dumb but it works!X10) 2)definately regloss and fix your hair! 3)You can either be a bored supermodel or a girl on the cover of Seventeen!

Posted by Ryland on June 19, 2010 at 07:35 PM EDT #

1.act totally happy! 2.just have fun!

Posted by roonie on June 19, 2010 at 10:52 PM EDT #

OK, so a way to stay confident when your getting your picture taken, is always look straight at the camera. And always show off your eyes, which for most people are their best feature (except I always cover mine up with my sunglasses 24/7! I'm like Sandra, from Black Veil Brides. Google her and the band if you don't know who they are!) And don't do a 'model' pose, they just look stupid. What I always do, is take a picture of myself from an upward angle. Most importantly, don't forget to smile, and look good. Guys like that, I would know, I have a lot of brothers.

Posted by Emily on June 20, 2010 at 06:25 PM EDT #

Eh.Mah.Gawsh. the most important thing is WHO you take it with. I mean hello! jpegs on the internet or facebook with LBRs does nawt repeat NAWT keep your alpha status up. I for one should know... massie n i r on the saaaaame level. and all of this "ehmagawd... look like a model..." screams fake. ahbvi tht unless u r a model (me!!!) looking like a model DOES. NAWT. WORK.

Posted by maude on June 20, 2010 at 08:57 PM EDT #

Heyy gals :) from a seasoned model and high school alpha: 1) If you're by yourself, LOOK THROUGH THE CAMERA LENS with your best head tilt-smile. This connects with the viewer and deepens the intensity. (Pics with stormy glares should be request only.) Find this in the mirror. the classic hand on hip-hip pop works for both casual and formal solo shots. 2) If you're with your posse, laugh and be envied :D. no group stare n glare necessary 3) If with an LBR (heaven forbid! but there are those dreaded parent requests...) pull out your best look. Pics with LBRs can be taxing but rewarding. They make you look even better!!!! Work the camera, beauties! Work the camera. ;)

Posted by Mandilyn on June 20, 2010 at 09:10 PM EDT #

Well, I have no prob of the camera flash! I WILL OFCOURSE become a famouse actress! Doubt me if you want, but wth, IDC! And KUH-LAIRE i feel your pain (not of having no friends, im head pop!, but of having a dream you can't quite grasp) and BTW Dyl, nice job :)

Posted by Soon 2b FAME on June 21, 2010 at 02:36 PM EDT #

I'm definitely a camera person. I love to take pics but its better to be in them! Really just take a quick look in the mirror, get in position, and say cheese!!

Posted by Wnm966 on June 21, 2010 at 05:00 PM EDT #

I am definately not shy in front of the camera i heart taking pictures. But if you are nervous i would say to practice in the mirror (it may sound stupid but it works) i always practice before pictures and they usually come out nice. I used to HATE taking pictures but now i love taking pics even if they dont turn out so hot dont be upset laugh about it!

Posted by massiekur99 on June 21, 2010 at 09:14 PM EDT #

Don't be afraid to smile for the camera it is like you are smiling in to a mirror.

Posted by HOLAGRRL97 on June 21, 2010 at 09:28 PM EDT #

heyyyy! i hate cameras, so me & my friends act stupid to make it funny. we have a lot of shots takin 4 random stuff, like we wnt 2 BK and took a commemrative photo. we dont even kno wat that means, anyway, Angy, Carter, Sadey and a guy we call Fries (cuz he ate all of our fries in like 2min at Whataburger) Sady, Angy and I did the captain Morgan thing while the guys acted like they fell ovr 'drunk'. and it was so funny b/c thr was 4 cop cars thr and they were all laffing at us and said we wr bn cute. haha, and fries asked 1 of the cops to take a picture w/ him. so now we think that cop told all his friends while eating donuts. woooohoooo!

Posted by Dayna on June 22, 2010 at 12:08 PM EDT #

Posted by pjlover on June 22, 2010 at 04:59 PM EDT #

I am sooo camera confident I want to be an actress when I get the chance or a dancer or singer. I say just be yourself in front of the camera if you don't have to act but if you do have to act then be yourself the best you can.

Posted by Delaney on June 23, 2010 at 01:51 PM EDT #

IM ALWAYS CAMERA-CONFIDENT! you would nawt want to look nervous always look ur best!!!

Posted by VALERIE TRIPLE THREAT on July 13, 2010 at 08:01 PM EDT #

smile at the last minute and dont even think about looking at the LBR's standing next to you to make sure you look better bcuz u always will. And some people will say not to get in a pic with an LBR but DO bcuz you will stand out and no one will b looking at them, only at you! and gloss up! (especially with my lip gloss line- Pucker UP- look for it! its hard to find but it has awesome flavors and looks hawt!

Posted by Leesh on July 16, 2010 at 08:55 PM EDT #

puh-lease i am totally not camera shy. all my pics come out hawter than you can imagine,i'm a cheerleader,best known beta in town, have a modeling job and whenever my name is called or spoken some guy will always scream "YOU'RE HAWT!!!". heart, best beta eva

Posted by best beta eva! on July 17, 2010 at 07:00 PM EDT #

The perfect way to look good on camera is by not trying to look like May-uh-see Sock. Be yourself, I do it all the time and I'm, popular. Unlike the LBRs down the street who act like Massie, (they live in mansions too), I act like myself!
