Holiday Poll: The Trademark Pose

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us! What better way to celebrate than with a new poll commemorating some of Jackles's best moves? Head on up to the top right of this blog, and cast your ballot for Jackles's most annoying trademark pose.

Is it the Kissy-Face?




The Blowing-Kisses?




Or the Braying Donkey?

    It is so hard to decide. They are all so ridiculous. I cringe every time I see a photo of her doing any of these three poses. I will have to deliberate over my vote long and hard.

    Hey, I just saw this site on Gawker, it caches everyone's deleted Tweets from Twitter.

    Should be a great tool to use with Julia "Delete and Backlogged" Allison. They have some of her deleted Tweets but they are kinda boring/already covered here.

    The Tweleted thing is really interesting. She's deleted a couple lately that don't even make any sense. They seem pretty innocuous. But on Planet Julia, there's always some strange motive. It's worrisome!

    This is an impossible choice. As I looked at each one I thought "Oh, that one for sure!" and then I looked at the next one and thought the same thing and it's just an endless circle of revulsion.

    I can't, I just can't. They are all equally foul.

    As a drunk college student I would pull that blowing kissyface bullshit all the time and there is seriously not even one instance where it does not look totally ridiculous.

    Also, it's incredibly awkward to stand there with my face contorted like that, with a hand under my friggen chin, waiting for someone to take a picture.

    I am happy to say I've learned the error of my ways BUT GOD, JULIA. FIGURE IT OUT. KISSYFACE = GLOSSY BUTTHOLE.

    The hand-on-the-hip is certainly a common pose, but it is usually incorporated somehow into the above three poses. It's just not facial enough! We need more face!! Work it!! Fierce!!

    here's the conclusion i've come to:

    -- young woman posing and posting shots of herself here there and everywhere, with no captions or insights beyond here i am at X, like flat stanley touring the world: maybe nobody cares, but pretty harmless

    -- promising great coverage, taking investor money, gaining tremendous opportunities, proclaiming onself to be on the cutting edge of blogging, calling oneself a blogger, posing pix of herself here there and everywhere with nothing but here i am at X: big huge disconnect that is initially greeted with patience but patience curdles into wtf

    i think that covers it

    Kissy face, absolutely the bloody kissy face.

    1. It forms the basis upon which other visual atrocities are committed, i.e. the kiss blowing pose. So if in the beginning there was no kissy face, we'd be spared a lot of other things.

    2. I find the constant implication of her kissing the viewer (including the thought that anybody would actually want that) appalling.

    The braying donkey, on the other hand, amuses me. I always picture someone throwing peanuts in the gaping cupcakehole.

    I think it's the blowing kisses because somewhere in that diluted head of hers she actually thinks she has "fans" that she's blowing kisses to.

  18. ColleenMay 22, 2009 at 9:41 AM

    I wonder if it's really the 'fans' she has in mind when she blows kisses. I wonder because when I do it I'm definitely not wishing the recipient well. It's what I do when someone flips me off in traffic: I don't return the compliment, I blow them a kiss instead and BOY! Does that gesture provoke way more rage than the bird? You betcha! And do I feel way more smug and smirky when I do it? =)

    I just ordered a pair of Target shoes online and they are adorable. No, if you choose the right shoes, they're fine. A classic pump or peeptoe is hard to get wrong, even if they're from Payless or Target. White wedgies or those bad-ass sandals she has on at Sea World? Tacky, no matter who makes them.

    Also, that yellow nail polish is the worst. She looks like she has jaundice. Matching your neon headband and hoodie with your nail polish is OK, I guess, when you're 12. When you're 28? NO!

    I bought two pairs from the Abaete for Payless line and I seriously can't go out without getting compliments on them. It's actually a thing of pride to wear an inexpensive pair of shoes and know your taste is enough that you don't need to *cough* go spend $700 or so on a pair of YSLs. But then, we can't really put ourselves in the same category of woman who for a loooong time talked about her ONE pair of Manolos up until it became clear that, unless she, granny or her parents bought them, she wouldn't be getting a pair ever again.

    In other news, Meghan McCain's deleted tweets were screenshot on some site and she actually acknowledged Julia once! Then she deleted it. Sad. :(

    there is nothing wrong with inexpensive shoes... it's just the way Julia obnoxiously brags about brand names and her OMG ONE pair of plain black Manolos, but in reality wears the cheapest, most fug shoes I have ever seen. there are good cheap shoes... and there are BAD cheap shoes... and Julia wears the latter. It's just funny coming from someone who is such an obnoxious label whore about the five label things she owns.

    I've got to go with "blowing kisses." The braying donkey is hilarious, too hilarious and unflattering to be quite annoying. Kissy face is pretty fucking annoying, but there's something about the "blowing kisses" that's hideously precious and self-aggrandizing, as though she's got scores of swooning fans eager for a petroleum-jelly lipsmack. Though 99% of the time, it looks like she's just trying to lob a wad of spit.

    Yep, the thing about inexpensive things (be they clothes, shoes, whatever) is that cost doesn't matter when you have an eye for what's stylish or just plain works. I play a game where I have people guess how much I paid for a pair of rhinestoned flip flops; not a huge ticket item but apparently looking pricey enough for people to guess $20-$40. They were $3 at the most random place you'd ever think to find such a thing and it actually makes me happier that I was able to find something so cute without sacrificing an arm or a leg.

    I agree with ShoeFan -- I hate hate hate yellow nail polish unless it's on somebody with really dark skin. Julia Allison does not qualify.

    Beyond that, it's never JUST yellow nail polish. It's yellow nail polish with a yellow headband and a yellow cardigan and a yellow purse. Not everything has to matchy match like you're a Barbie.

    I LOVE cheap shoes! I have a lot of them so I can wear what I feel like and if they fall apart? Great! I was tired of them anyway and wanted some more.

    But. It's all about attitude, I think. If you're wearing funky shoes for fun and are not taking the whole high fashion thing seriously you look funky and fun, that's all. It's like cheap jewellery and even nail polish. I've been known to wear some seriously weird polish because I liked it that day. I really appreciate people who have an individual style going on but I can spot a faker every time. That's not hard because it's the person who's fake and so that's what their style looks like. Making a 'statement' of some sort and just letting yourself shine through are two very different things. Julia shines through no matter what she's wearing and that's her biggest problem and that's why she generates so much scorn and ridicule, I think. Whatever it is, it's just...ugly.

    Part deux:

    I myself have to be pretty careful about letting my 'id' run wild, however. Left to my own devices, I tend to veer heavily into gothy punk. Full blown gothy punk is no longer age appropriate for me, however, so I put a bit of a lid on my preferences. And I am very lucky in that my job has no dress code at all in my particular case. All of my customers are internal so the public never sees me. About half my time is spent in a nice tidy office creating stuff but the other half is spent building the stuff I created and involves some very messy materials so no one in my company expects me to wear office attire. Since I am a 'creative', no one thinks twice if I have a flame inspired fauxhawk, either, and so I am free to look like whatever the hell I feel like on any given day. I'm not pleasing any one but myself and I don't give a shit about the impression I'm making with my appearance. Julia should try that sometime: it's very liberating.

    The current obnoxiousness oozing out of Julia Allison's lifecast is like a festering sore. To recap--

    - Wearing a DVF dress (just haaaad to say the brand because "readers" emailed her asking for it. riiiiight) and the clip in hair at Sea World. WTF?
    - Wearing FULL MAKEUP while in a wetsuit for some kind of swimming with dolphins thing or something.
    - Crazy arched back/leg out pose in EVERY photo... Jesus. Girlfriend must be seriously fat to have to contort like that for the quickest snap.
    - Camera angle held high/shot down in every photo - I guess another trick to hide flaws?

    If I ever considered going to Sea World before... I dropped it. I will never, ever go there and tell everyone I know the same.
