According to your votes, fashion-loving stylist Lenya Jones<\/a> won last month’s “pose like WendyB” contest<\/a>. Congrats, Lenya! No prizes were promised beyond bragging rights — and those are priceless, of course — but I feel like that’s a little bit of a letdown. So I hereby offer Lenya free shipping on her next jewelry purchase.<\/p>\n

I must ask for a round of applause for Siouxsie Law<\/a>, who came in second even though she submitted a headless picture. You know you’re a fierce poser if you can do that well without a face!<\/p>\n

Some gorgeous bloggers posed too late for the contest, but I still want to share their photos.<\/p>\n

Megan Mae used every weapon in my posing arsenal: the crossed legs, both arms, lipstick and teeth.<\/p>\n

Like Megan Mae, BonBon Rose Girl<\/a> Kristin wore red for her pose. A good choice! Red is my favorite color. Unless we can count “leopard” as a color. In that case, red is my second favorite.<\/p>\n

Kasmira does the pose with leopard. Can't go wrong with that.<\/p><\/div>\n

Lei Ann of Lei Ann … Off Duty skipped the smile but her form is very good, don’t you agree?<\/p>\n

Celebrities are getting in on the WendyB pose action too. Jacquelyn Joy spotted supermodel Iman doing my pose on Go Fug Yourself<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gorgeous blogger Deja Pseu<\/a> pointed out singer\/actress Jennifer Hudson’s WendyB stance. Jennifer wins the celebrity division — look at her tense, high-up shoulder! That’s perfect! People attempting to take my picture are always telling me to relax my shoulder(s). Now I’m going to say that my shoulders are simply emulating Jennifer’s.<\/p>\n

Even drawings are getting into my pose. Multi-talented artist Max Dana<\/a> drew her observing eye character, Da-Eye, doing the WendyB<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I love the attention paid to the foot perspective.<\/p>\n

Here’s the picture that started the whole “I only have one pose<\/a>” conversation with my father, GeorgeB. It was extremely difficult to achieve this much motion. Dad kept saying, “Move!” and I kept saying, “I can only do my regular pose!” We finally got something usable, after we gave up on managing the shoulder.<\/p>\n

Keep sending me pictures of yourselves doing my pose, and I’ll do a round-up every so often. Don’t forget to raise those shoulders!<\/p>\n

UPDATED TO ADD ONE MORE STRAGGLER: Here’s Audi from Fashion for Nerds. Nice job, Audi!<\/p>\n
