The new photo pose in Russia that is spreading worldwide is called ‘Vilena-style’ modeling. Women hunch over to get their butt as high as possible and then photograph themselves in a mirror.
This unusual photo pose went viral after a woman named Vilena posted a nude photo in this pose on a social network. Vilena is a spin on Vladimir Lenin’s name that was popular when he was a national hero.
So far, Flickr is lacking in Vilena-style poses, so flop down on your bed, poke your rear in the air and snap away!
