I can actually do this pose…without breaking any bones! But her technique is actually really nice, plus, her whole outfit is beyond gorgeous and the picture is just really pretty in general! (:
She probably has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, whether she knows it or not.
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) is a heterogeneous group of heritable connective tissue disorders, characterized by articular (joint) hypermobility, skin extensibility and tissue fragility.
Individuals with EDS have a defect in their connective tissue, the tissue that provides support to many body parts such as the skin, muscles and ligaments. The fragile skin and unstable joints found in EDS are the result of faulty collagen. Collagen is a protein, which acts as a “glue” in the body, adding strength and elasticity to connective tissue.
As amazing as this photo is, she really shouldn’t be doing that as it can worsen her condition.
I’m gonna try to answer the juice thing, I think what they were going for was a sense of casualness. It’s so easy for her she can do all kinds of normal everyday things while doing it.
Suddenly Susie awoke from a deep sleep with a terrible cramp in her leg, she knew only a glass of juice could help her. Slowly she rolled out of bed in her non-binding pajamas…
I think those are special ‘contortionist’ shoes. That little thing sticking out is providing support (the opposite of a high heel, kind of). Imagine if it weren’t there and that floor were slippery…
….Why the juice? Is this supposed to be a comercial for juice? I can’t imagine why anyone would want to pose with a class of juice…that in and of it’s self is a bit awkward..
I also made the same comment off of someone else’s post, before I’d read this one. The glass of orange juice is what makes this picture awkward for me…not the pose. I’m actually quite impressed with the flexibility and think the outfit and shoes look great for a dance photo…it’s just that darned glass of orange juice that throws the whole picture out of whack!
Me too! I was completely impressed by her limberness, but kept cracking up over the glass of juice. It just doesn’t make sense and is totally out of place…unless it is an Orange Juice commercial. Instead of the old saying, “Orange Juice…it’s not just for breakfast anymore” it is now stealing a but from the Milk commercials only different, “Milk, it does a body…awkward, but flexible?”
Ditto. I don’t get it. LOL Seems like a pretty impressive pose without needing to add “oh wait, I can drink juice while in this pose too-take THAT Mary Lou Retton!”
I was able to do this pose last February…just moments after a horrific giant slalom crash. I now have enough metal in my left leg to make a regulation size cassarole dish. The x-ray picture still makes me shiver. For the record…you CAN hear your own bones break.
Oh my GOD! I just spit coffee out of my nose! “Regulation size casserole dish???” (From Mary’s the Thanksgiving instructions.)
I can’t believe no one else caught this — maybe it’s because I the only one looking at each and every one of these posts. I’m addicted to this site. I need to get a life… after I clean the coffee off my keyboard.

Geez, that’s ubnelibevale. Kudos and such.
My mother brought up the point that maybe she is pretendign to be the pitcher that poured the juice in the cup. That could explain the OJ.
Adding a bottle of Clos du Bois Chardonnay would be wonderful for Mimosas.
Go, go gadget leg!
best comment yet. soda came out my nose n cant catch my breath
Please, anybody can position their legs at a 200 degree angle.
It’s the orange juice that makes this picture refrigerator worthy.
“refrigerator worthy” yer bustin my guts with that one!!!! LOL-long time
Does no one see that one of her bones is popping out of its socket?!?!

Or she’s just flexible…I’m a dancer and I can do that, I don’t have any condition…at least I don’t think I do…
I can do this with out the shoes…… It is all about how flexible and limber your body is…. It really helps when you are double jointed!!!
I don’t want to know how she squeezed the orange><
one of these, day im gonna laugh when she gets her leg stuck or something ill laugh sooo hard anyway….. very very funny!!!!
The greatest picture on the site.LOL
Maybe she’s multi-tasking, having juice while she stretches.
you better see a doctor i think something is seriously wrong with you.

SHOES ARE COOL .. BUT I DONT GET THE GLASS OF OJ
Suddenly Susie awoke from a deep sleep with a terrible cramp in her leg, she knew only a glass of juice could help her. Slowly she rolled out of bed in her non-binding pajamas…
I’m just glad she got a shot with OJ, instead of getting shot by OJ!
that.. wasn’t even funny.
What’s with the OJ….couldn’t she hold something else?
They ran out of crystal balls.
how old is she?
it hurts just looking at her, but the shoes are cool.
Sign of the times when I look at the picture and the only eye catching thing is the juice.
What’s up with her shoe? Strange heel …
I think those are special ‘contortionist’ shoes. That little thing sticking out is providing support (the opposite of a high heel, kind of). Imagine if it weren’t there and that floor were slippery…
Flexibility is hardly ever underrated.
maybe she is NOT flexible…this is how she was born? hmmm…ever thing of that? A heck of a delivery but worth it all with this picture!
She’s one vodka and orange juice away from dancing on the table . . . LOOKOUT!
….Why the juice? Is this supposed to be a comercial for juice? I can’t imagine why anyone would want to pose with a class of juice…that in and of it’s self is a bit awkward..
I was just going to make the exact same comment. It seems the pose would be enough. Why the juice?

Is that Sasha Cohen?!
That is SO Impressive on many, many levels.
that’s just wrong on so many levels…
“I could of had a V-8!”
could’ve (could have)
She could scorpion kick the crap out of someone!
Hahahahaha!!!
What i the point of the juice?
that’s what I’M saying. maybe it’s a screwdriver.
Me too! I was completely impressed by her limberness, but kept cracking up over the glass of juice. It just doesn’t make sense and is totally out of place…unless it is an Orange Juice commercial.

I know right? And it doesn’t even look like proper orange juice…it is almost brown!!
Ditto. I don’t get it. LOL Seems like a pretty impressive pose without needing to add “oh wait, I can drink juice while in this pose too-take THAT Mary Lou Retton!”
This picture makes me hurt in so many places, many of which I choose not to name on a family site.
Just wait until Mantis Woman comes to maturity. It won’t be so funny then.
Oh, my! Good point.
OMG, coolest shoes EVER!!!!
It’s spring loaded. The left one just went off.
OMG!!! LOL
hahahahaha.. LOL
SNORT!
Those are cool! Thanks; I never would’ve noticed in the face of my own cringing at this photo.
lol…how did you pull your eyes away from the girl to see those cool shoes
Ow, ow, OOOOOWWWW!

I totally got the “regulation size casserole comment” and as a tribute, had to go back and re-read the thanksgiving letter for old times sakes! lol

Twister! It’s Twister! “Left foot… table!”
