Someone call Father Merrin
Haha. Look at her fuzzy sweater! This is hilarious! Obsessed much?
I think it’s a scarf that’s fuzzy.
Definitely. If it’s a sweater, something is seriously wrong with her left arm…
that caption is perfect..poor girl probably twisted her neck with that pose….
“Don’t think I don’t see you back there, Mr. Cameraman! Teeheehee!”
lol!
Hmmm…she is quite a head turner
haha!
LOL
Winnah! Winnah!
Evidently needs a little more holy water to get that head back on straight.
The more I look at this, the creepier it is.
ITA! The first time I looked I was like, ‘oh ok, not that awkward…’ but now I look and think ’sweet mother of pearl that is creeping me out!!’
this makes me uncomfortable by just looking at it.
What you don’t know is that she’s actually looking over her left shoulder.
Ha! That’s probably the case…
Ha! thats good ! ; )
BWA HA HA!!
Why do bad things happen to good people?
ouch
Hey everyone…. look how I manage a million dollar smile while being choked by a hairy black boa constrictor.
In high school I was flat chested and had great hair. I would have opted for this pose.
Ha ha! Love it binkymae!
the exorcist!!! THAT’S SOME FUNNY S*** RIGHT THERE!
“Your mother sews socks that smell!!!”
HAHAHAHA! Great SNL memory!
“Judas Priest!”
That was actually the voice-over edit when the Exorcist aired on TV and it was actually “Your mother sucks socks that smell!”.
ouch!
put your head on your shoooooulder….
LOL
Ha!! definitely “beyond the point of reasonable casualness”
yes indeed. Reminds me of the guy on the cruise ship with his leg in the air….
The matching scarf hanging in the back makes it look as if she has a deformed emaciated left arm. Very Picasso-esque.
THAT”S WHAT I THOUGHT! XD
that looks painful.
Yes, but that big cheesy grin on her face makes it look like she’s enjoying the pain.
I suddenly feel the urge to go and get a massage…on my neck. Makes me wonder what she has in the front of her that she is hiding….
The conversation taking place in this shoot:
Photographer: “A little more… a little more…”
Girl (through clinched teeth smile): “Here? Like this? I… I don’t think I can turn any further.”
Photographer: “Almost there… this is going to be GREAT!”
That really cracked me up…
I knew that owls could turn their heads around like that, but this doesn’t look like an owl…
While possessed by the devil, Regan took time out to get a glamor photo.
That’s either a really thin arm or really long lint.
Is she part owl?
she has a smile like giada from the food network. nothing awakard to me.
The pose itself couldn’t be awkward could it?
No way, I sit like this all the time, occasionally I’ll go “whooo-whooo” and people are always taking pictures of me on a fence post, TOTALLY NORMAL!
Sarah realized too late that marrying an overzealous chiropractor was probably a very, very bad idea.
I cannot do this. I have tried after seeing this. This woman… has superpowers. Or is part owl part demon.
This pose seems so familiar…where have I seen it before? Oh yeah–high school. This is what every girl I had a crush on looked like as they sped away in Skip’s (the quarterback) convertable. Obviously I’m still not over it yet…thanks.
ha ha best response!
FTW!
Now THAT is funny!!!!
The very look of this makes my neck hurt
… it looks like her spine is on backwards
Someone to whom the Chiropractor actually said, “Yup, your done, you don’t need to come back anymore”
Lol, is that even possible? I thought they’re all required to take a secret oath that, once started, no treatment is ever complete…lol…
LOL
Day One of the Angelina Jolie-Jessica Simpson-Eva Mendes-taught head turn over the shoulder pose for photographers class. “Okay, you’re trying too hard,” said Ms. Simpson.
Poor girl… someone call a doctor. It’s obvious that her neck is broken!
Among portrait photographers, this is referred to as “the exorcist.”
Among people that have posed this way, this is also referred to as “really freakin’ painful.”
It’s as if her head was independent from her body.
Does anybody else think that there might have been sombody else in the photo. Like perhaps in front of her….on the right?
I’m sure the photographer was like “I know it feels awkward, but it’ll look great when you get the pictures back”. Or not. It looks like a dolls head stuck on the wrong way.
This gives me new respect for Paris Hilton’s “over-the-shoulder” pose. Clearly, it’s not as easy as it looks.
Sweet Fancy Moses. I just tried it myself because it’s so unbelieveable that she could twist her neck THAT FAR. It’s impossible. I don’t know how she did it without snapping or unhinging something. You would have to be part owl. I mean, I’ve seen the classic 80’s looking over shoulder pose, and this is NOT that pose.
Hehe yeah the scarf makes it look like she has a Grover from sesame street arm, which makes me really happy
Winner of the Parallel Parking Championship, year after year.
HA!!!!
LOL
Wonder what else she can twist like that???
I can almost *hear* the cracking of her neck bones.
What happened to the other pictures that show her head turning completely around?
Her neck is permanently twisted due to a freak compound bow accident.
lmao. best way to work a reference to a compound bow i’ve heard in a long time.
I’ve a former family member who LOVED this pose … still gives me shivers.
“ok now give me a natural turn. more. moorre…moooorreeee..moooooooorrrreeee” *click*
all that’s missing is the pea soup and crab walk
