years ago, I used to "collect" mannequin store poses. Meaning, I would memorize the pose and then re-create it somewhere when I was getting a picture made. For example, I'd hold one arm up pointing straight to the sky and then cross my other arm in front of me pointing to the left. The poses were always so bizarre but I assumed it was to attract attention. I made fun of them.
