New favourtie website The Awkward Lean, showcases the worlds best awkward leaners, that special pose that girls adopt in an attempt to look skinnier than they actually are. I think the lean was orginally developed on The Hills, although its roots can probably be traced back as far as Melrose Place. This blog hits the nail on the head so well and adds fantastically cynical commentary too! I must admit that most girls, including me, do the lean to some degree (the level of lean often corresponding to the number of cocktails consumed) but some take it too far and end up looking like they are going to do a backflip. From perusing this blog I can safely say that the angle of head tilt determines the level of ridiculousness.
While this blog appears anti-lean, I am slightly confused by the following commentary on page 1 : 'There’s a reason most of you Leaners are generally (we’re being kind here) more attractive than non-Leaners; you fancy yourselves as Victoria’s Secret models. Well that’s nice for you.' How Ironic! To lean or not to lean?
