    Hey Ben, Darcy, Em...

    I noticed in the weekly contest thread your pictures. Does the pose hold a meaning?

    And thinking about it, to everybody else, just asking out of randomness, why did you choose your profile picture to be the one you have?

    Lucero,

    I was nagged mercilessly by my club-mates to post a picture of myself so that they could 'put a face to the name'. I tried to protest, but my hand was forced in the end. Anyway, that picture was taken by my son in Snowdonia and I can genuinely say I had no idea it was being taken.
    Long story short, it seems to be rather popular and I do claim the pose as my own!

    One good pose deserves another just the same. Lol

    Haha. Love the pose! (:

    So, Ms. Lucero, tell us about your profile picture. Haha. Just curious.

    It's a good, magazine-like pose. Lol.

    Lucero, I picked mine because when I was a baby my hair was always compared to dandelion fluff. My family even nicknamed me a Spanish word for it. So when I saw that picture I just thought it was fitting lol

    Ben, your son is a photographer. He captured you in the right moment.

    Mr. Darcy, sure. Why not? Lol

    Dashiel, haha... a few years ago, I was taking pictures with my laptop. Pretty much, I was experimenting with the different filters that the program had. On a shelf, I found some type of sphere, and with the X-ray, i took the picture. That picture was the result. Ever since, I fell in love with it. Why? I do not know. How about yours?

    Poetess, that's a pretty cool story. If you don't mind, what Spanish word did they say?

    Mr. Larry, you are strong.

  • Ben Pickard

    Oh no, Lucero, you mustn't give the boy too much credit. Most of my moments are 'right' moments...:)

    Sir Ben as I said before you have a big similarity with Adam Levine here. ..and Sir Michael you look like a doppelganger of Sir Ben lol...
    Lucero your picture reminds me of a molecular form of the water when saying something good to them....it's like a message to the water. ...that can be useful to all of us. . video is available on youtube. .. Poetess I'm curious bout the Spanish name. .. Sir Larry you like you are enjoying a work out here lol. ..Strong muscles. ..

    mine was taken during a photo shoot for a brand of clothing here in the Philippines. ..

    Hello well I guess I saw Bens and Michaels and thought the pose looked good though I had To get my best side. I wonder if anybody will pull of the pose as good as those guys though.

    Larry I love your new picture.

  • Golden AnGel Rhapsodist

    Oh Em do I need to pose like that too? hahahha maybe holding my guitar is much better. ...

    Lucero, Mahal ko kuya ko, and poetess

    I'm doing the pose tomorrow and changing my picture. You've convinced me (not that anyone was trying lol). I have a similar one I'll put up for now though... brb.

  • Larry Chamberlin
    8 years ago

    I had a similar pose posted for months, also taken by my child (Jessica in my case). Maybe I'll put it back up.

  • Liz

    The nickname is Pelusa. Which basically means fluff. Lol

    I'm not sure I want to accept the challenge haha
    But the pose.....I don't know....maybe I'll do the pose lol. Though I don't think anyone will be able to top Mr. Darcy and Ben.

  • silvershoes

  • Golden AnGel Rhapsodist
    8 years ago

    Fluff? that's cute like a cuddly fluffy bear. .. lol I like it. .anyway that challenge was a joke. ..;) maybe I'll try the pose too

  • Em

    Wouldn't it be great to put faces to names? I bet you could all master the pose perfectly. I had to improvise though as only had the floor to sit on haha

    Pelusa? Oh there's a song in Spanish for Pelusa

    http://www.musica.com/letras.asp?letra=2241451

    Poetess, do you speak Spanish?

    Golden Angel, lol. I tried changing my profile picture but the picture was too big and I was lazy to use a program to reduce it. I'll try it later during the day.

  • hiraeth

    Luce is special, hence her facing the other way. She's against the mainstream. :)

    but if you do ever want to conform, flipapicture.com :p

    ^^ lol
    I was just kind of lazy.... I found THAT one picture with a "similar" pose and I thought "why not? I'm sure no one will notice, not. XD but no biggy lol"

    Mark, I'm curious, will you change your pic?

    Golden Angel, are you a model? A singer?

  • Em

    Mark you are right Luce is special :) well I think you all are on this site.

    I forgot to do this over and over again! Okay, I'm adding one similar-ish right now and I'll try to get a better one later as tribute to Ben & Darcy.

    EDIT: Updated. Pic taken in June at Rialto Beach in Washington. That might ring a bell for Twilight fans :P

    Em, you are such a big sweetheart!

    Love your pic too. It's so cute how we have a little PnQ fad. It's the planking or mannequin-ing of our site.
