My yoga instructor looks absolutely beautiful when executing this pose (demonstrated by someone who is not my instructor). Seriously. She's a living work of art. During a practice recently, I did this same asana. I was rocking it like a hurricane. I'm thinking, "Damn, I feel pretty." But it didn't take me long to remember that I'm a man. I'm not even an androgynous 20-something anymore. I can't look "pretty" in that pose. I look more like a rusty old ship anchor. I even have barnacles in places the sun don't shine.

Edit: All right then. Pictures without barnacles. This is me without make-up and special effects. What did I tell you? This is me gussied up and with a helping hand.

This post is useless without pictures of you not looking pretty. Barnacles preferably hidden.

IAWTC. Pictures. Barnacles Hidden. We will decide if you are pretty or not.

Gah, I was so distracted by the need for pictures, I didn't notice I'd been logged out! Post pix. Please :)

w00t! Love the helping hand :)

You are *totally* rocking that pose. Now we need to see you in clothes as tight as hers, just to make a fair comparison, you see.

Tighter clothes, eh? You want to see my barnacles, don't you? ;)

Very well. I know how much you like looking at men doing yoga. Edited.

I'm sure all those polyphenols and other antioxidants are good for the sinuses.

You're laughing at my barnacles, aren't you?

So, are you implying you're the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald? :)

Yes, people write songs about me. And now I have an earworm.

Could be worse. Could be "My Sharona". :)

I could use a helping hand like that every now and again.
you do rock that pose...

Yeah, the severed hand prop is very useful for reaching those difficult binds.

You look oh so pretty! Not sure if it is because you are in the kitchen or in the pose.

Definitely the kitchen. It's those brand new cabinets.
