• place your delicately-closed left fist on your hip?
• point the fingers on your right hand upwards toward the ceiling while resting on the door frame?
• place your feet at a 45 degree angle?

If you answered "no" or "I don't know" to any of these questions, then you (like me) will probably benefit from this guide:

I can't wait to practice my "picture pose" in front of my husband to see what he says... Haha!
