@Spurt - I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at this picture you shared! I wish it were an extreme example of how clothing is presented, but it is becoming more and more common on many websites. I mean, c'mon—you can't get a good perspective on a single item she's wearing in that shot! Smiley Happy

If I understand what you're talking about, I see Lori Goldstein standing like that much of the time.  I've always heard that described as being pigeon-toed.


@Kachina624  I was going to say the exact same thing! Yes, Lori Goldstein is pigeon-toed.

Interesting. I've noticed that Susan Graver and Liz Lange both have the same slouchy posture.. Maybe it is done so that they appear to be humble and not diva-like LOL

@BirkiLady  I agree with much of what you say.  Louis D, Bob Mackie and Dennis Basso, --I know a lot of people here don't like DB--always have the models who look very professional.  Anne and Kate both look and act like runway models and I've never seen them in the pidgeon -toe stance.  The new larger model on DB's show the other night stood in a scissor's stance which was very unattractive.  But as another poster said, the pidgeon-toe supposedly makes you thighs look thinner.  I will try walking like that from now on>

@bootsanne  The pigeon-toe stance makes the rear-end jut out. It ruins the posture! If the clothing is fitted properly, why worry about thigh issues? That tells me LOGO line isn't made well . . . which is apparent from watching a couple of hours on TV when it first launched. LG must know it is not well tailored if she has to stand to hide her thighs. I honestly thought she was naturally pigeon-toed and wasn't aware of how distracting it is to viewers! I've also thought her shoes were ill-fitting.  Dang, she does use that grey matter of hers. Silly me . . . she certainly had me fooled. Smiley Wink

@Kachina624  Now you are going to make me stare at Grayson when he walks by, lol.

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.
