Asian Poses

There's a new website called Asian Poses that is pretty funny. It's by a guy who documents all the picture poses that are popular over here. I think this whole phenomenon started with Japanese sticker pictures (purikura) and the peace sign. It moved into this endlessly creative phenomenon that happens whenever anyone takes out a camera. Whenever a camera goes anywhere near young Japanese people, they whip out poses like these. It's something that happens all over Asia. Lately, most girls do this thing where the puff their cheeks out all big and look sad. (?) Most guys do the "guy face" which involves closing your left eye and sticking your tongue out.
