I got the idea for this weeks montage of Spiff from InStyle magazine, the December 2009 issue (referencing purposes out of the way).
In this issue they have tips on how to look great in pictures.

The first tip they gave was to “Fake a tummy tuck”
To do this you’ve got to,

“’Twist your torso, turning one shoulder toward the camera and the other away from it,’ says Atlanta body-language expert Patti Wood. ‘It makes you look very slender.’”

So the next time someone yells “CHEESE” plant your feet at an angle away from the camera and turn as if you were just caught in perfectly poised moment.

Anther slimming tip they say in the article is to stick your neck out so as to avoid the dreaded (and much complained about) double chin. Make sure you practice this one a couple times so you don’t look like a hungry Giraffe.

And remember! After the flash goes off, simply walk around to the other side of the camera and exclaim, “Oo that’s nice” and Nothing else!

Local Spiff: If you shop at the West Town mall then here’s a little insider info for ya-the store across from Forever21 is going to be home to Tommy Hilfiger in September! (not the man himself, but his clothes. I’m sure he doesn’t live in malls ;)
