VOGUE!"},"content":{"rendered":"

Earlier this week, I wrote about bitches stealing my trademark crossed-leg pose<\/a>. Gorgeous blogger of Erin of Work With What You’ve Got<\/a> commented, “I kind of want to do a tribute pose now, but I\u2019m afraid you\u2019ll rip out my weave!” I was so delighted by the idea of a blogger pose-off that I promised to leave all weaves intact and my fighting earrings safely in my lobes<\/a>. I encouraged all the wimmins to go for the full-on pose: in addition to the crossed legs, you need hand(s) on hips and a big smile to do the complete WendyB.<\/p>\n

You get to vote for the Wendy-est of them all! Let’s take a look at our contenders.<\/p>\n

Erin is showing excellent hand and leg placement! We’re going to have to deduct a few points for the non-toothy smile but the use of leopard print is an important redeeming factor.<\/p>\n

Erin works some leopard print into her pose. Smart move, Erin.<\/p><\/div>\n

Sal is doing fabulous work here. Note the two-handed pose, red lips and toothy smile.<\/p>\n

Sal from Already Pretty works the two-handed look.<\/p><\/div>\n

Liz makes the pose her own by eschewing the hands-on-hip action in favor of romantic long-stemmed roses. Different, but I like it.<\/p>\n

Emma went for a variation of my standard pose. Impressive take on my “holding up the wall” look, Emma!<\/p>\n

Siouxsie Law won’t show her face but assures me that she was wearing red lipstick when this was taken.<\/p>\n

Mariel combines my stance with the controversial fashion blogger “look away!” look.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a moment to admire Pearl Westwood’s perfect Chrissie Hynde bangs<\/a>! I wanted those when I was in high school.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Pearl Westwood does it with one hand.<\/p><\/div>\n

Um, Jentine? This is not right! Where’s your smile? I’m not sure this counts …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Jentine from MyEdit says, "Je suis une fashion blogger and I rock that coy side glance!"<\/p><\/div>\n

Oh, wait! Jentine has redeemed herself!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

A smile plus TWO animal prints? Bravo, Jentine!<\/p><\/div>\n

Lenya Jones has got it going on. Smile, legs, hands. Nice job, Lenya.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Lenya's dress is by Maharishi and her shoes are by Cole Haan.<\/p><\/div>\n

While you ponder your options, enjoy Madonna’s exquisite performance of Vogue from the 1990 MTV VMAs. Love the costumes. And the fan flip? To die for!<\/p>\n
