Weirdly styled / posed photos...

Have you ever been online shopping and come across a picture and wondered what the heck? I was just browsing next online and came across this photo. Im not looking for jeggings but was rather searching 'new in' so maybe this is how jeggings look in the crotch area?

These are hilarious especially the bum separating pants and the lady of the lake.
I always wear jeggings with a tunic top and NONE of mine are that horrifically tight. She looks like she needs two sizes bigger.

@deeahgwitch yes, and also the Marks adverts which pop up on Instagram showing something really lovely, then you click on it and it’s completely sold out. ARGGHHHH!!!!

* I initially typed “M&S” and this automatically created a hyperlink to their website - are MN in cahoots with them?! I went back and edited it out!

@Drivingthevengabus Pose Like a Zara Model is BRILLIANT!

Edited

Sold out or only available in sizes 6 or 24...

I love Batsheva styling. That's not by any means the oddest and you can see the dress.

Kudos to the accordion man for managing not to laugh

I guess the Batsheva stuff is intentionally weird. I think the others are going for something else but get it wrong.

The Batsheva photos are attention grabbing - maybe its because the clothes are actually not very inspirational - quite tame and unoriginal once you take away the blue wigs and white tights....."The Emperor's New Clothes"

This has to be my favourite one I've found recently.

Because who doesn't lie on the banks of a lake like a discarded mannequin in their £250 dress.

The shit all over the bottom of her boots makes it extra 😗🤌

That looks like a corpse about to have a caderveric spasm.

What's the close-up of the split? Has she blown the crotch out or is it a fart vent?

It's just weird ...

By the by, but the name they give to the colour amuses me - 'Rose Quartz'. I ordered a bra in that colour. It's beige.

But there's a huge difference between a sarcastic laugh emoji and, for example, a racist comment or a threat of violence. In fact, you could say that the public comment is more harmful than a private emoji.

They have to have the courage to say it publicly. The sorts of people doing it were, I think, the ones who didn't have the nerve to say it in front of others. The fact other posters can see comments acts as a regulating device (mostly!)

I was going through emails this morning and opened this one from M&S, and saw these two photos of jeans being “modelled”! That second one in particular…wtf?? All I can think is that if you could see her face she’d be gurning like her life depended on it!! 😄 The first one looks likes she’s been caught out and is about to drop her trousers to have a quick wee in the woods! As soon as I saw these it reminded me that id seen a thread recently about this so searched and found it. Thought it might be quite appropriate 😂

I once bought a dress on line, can’t remember where from. On the model it came below the knee, it stated the model was a few inches taller than me so I thought great, it will be well below the knee on me, maybe calf length or between knee and calf.
When it came it was a short dress, not exactly mini but well above the knee which is not what I wanted neither how it looked on the model.

You can imagine their marketing bods round a big table. “What about a hobo with an accordion?” “Yes!! And a group of elderly day trippers!”

Oh, so that’s the barrel Jean then? Hadn’t seen them before. Sounds like they’d perhaps look as bad on as in those pics then? Are these maybe the better poses? 😂
I didn’t notice the seam on that second pair until I’d posted it - I reallly dislike those seams! I hate twisty seams, always just makes me think I’ve got my clothes on wrong and I also can’t stand looking at them. I’m perhaps a little Irrationally annoyed by twisted seams 😄
(wonder how many times I needed to use the word seams??!)

@Ontheedgeofit wait! Does that mean that in the second pic she’s not bandy legged pushing her knees forward??! Is that what they actually look like if you’re standing legs straight? (Ignoring the wide leg missing-pony stance)

@Itsasecretnow
you reminded me of another weird photo from H&M
weird photo plus barrel jeans = double weird

Oh god, no, it’s an endemic! Well I know what to avoid if I’m looking for new jeans now! Looks like you’ve pooped yourself or lost the aforementioned pony 😂

I saw one on m&s earlier. It was a jumper. First photo model curled up on floor, 2nd photo holding an enormous bag which covered half the jumper. I never did find out how long the jumper was so I didn't buy it. Infuriating.

deeahgwitch · 06/08/2025 10:44

I don’t understand how a big company like M&S with a large budget for in house promotional posters can’t insist on colour matching the image on the poster to the colour of the actual product 🙄
