What a show off. I thought about Lorelai Gilmore breaking her leg. “I took the blonde pretzel chick down with me,” she explained to her mother, admitting she was “too competitive for yoga.” If only I could bring this woman down, but even the blond pretzel chick was not at her level. Who shows up for yoga in high healed boots? Her figure was perfect, but something about the poses she did were disjointed and awkward. Her face was a blank canvas, not in pain, but not serene either. Was she one of those rich people who moved mechanically through life without enjoying it? Even though I envied her body, I did not envy her life.

I like jealousy, the “competitiveness”,and the tone you’ve set. But there is much truth in not envying someone else’s life… especially the one she describes.

Wow, you changed your banner. XD
I do yoga, nothing like that though. I have the DVDs separated into categories. “Enjoy,” “can-do”, and “work up to.” The “work up to” ones tend to be more strength and endurance though, nothing complicated pretzel, but I totally related to the “what I promised and I know what I can do and they’re two different things.”
Thanks for contributing,

Love the Gilmore Gorls reference. 🙂
Thanks! I’m a Gilmore Girls fangirl. I’m surprised I can’t quote all 7 seasons by now. I’m about to have to get digital copies because some of the CDs are starting to skip. >.<
I admire her body but love your story about appreciating your own life. That’s all we have, at the end of the day… nice work.
Thank you Aurora. The one thing that stops me from admiring her body is wondering if she’s had to starve herself or get fat sucked out to get it.
LOL Yes. There is always THAT, lol.
Her body is a wonderland.
Moving in style and grace.
Her body is a wonderland.
My hearts ever increasing pace
while I see her move and look at me.
She has no idea what it does to me.
Her body is a wonderland.

Hi Otheus.
Thanks for contributing, great poem.
here is my exercise for this week
http://terry1954.wordpress.com/2012/09/30/picture-it-write-sept-302012/
It’s an interesting picture isn’t it? I found it searching for “yoga” so my imagination was a little hindered by my intent so I liked your comments at the top.

Enjoy

I loved where you went with this. At first I thought you were using the woman in the picture as the tracker. Thanks for contributing.

I never liked Lorelai, don’t know why… :p
My contribution > http://cenicitas.com/2012/10/01/contortionist/
*gasp* though the more I watch it, the more I don’t like Lorelai or Rory. They’re both incredibly self centered.
That’s beautiful. Thanks for contributing. While not related, somehow it made me think about Memoirs of a Geisha where the narrator talks about water forming a new path when encountering an obstacle.
they areeeeeeeeeeeeee. that’s why I hate them, haha.
I liked what you did with this, Elia. The envy is really easy to relate to! I maybe envied something a little different. Hehe!
I couldn’t write my impressions from this picture. I’m sorry. They were both evil and pornographic. I just can’t do anything that over-the-top, and I’m stuck with the images in my head now, so… I will just leave y’all with them… letcha do whatcha do…
$%^#ing Stephen. He thinks she’s all that. Just because she can twist herself like a mangled corpse! You want a mangled corpse to $%^#, Stephen? [most of the rest of the story removed for disgusting reasons] $%^# that, Stephen! copyright Anne Psychlde, etc.
Anne you’ve got me intrigued now. After what I’ve written I can imagine some pretty nasty ideas coming from this prompt but maybe you’ll surprise me! If you are a little uneasy all you have to do is add the disclaimer “This is a work of fiction and does not necessarily reflect the opinions, history, or political leanings of the Author, her family, friends, pets or affiliated individuals or organisations.” Easy peasy no judgy! 🙂
O.O at both of you lol. I’ve had several twisted thoughts about this image since writing the original, some along the same lines as Anne’s thoughts. Hehe
Thanks for dropping by once again, Anne.
Yes, I agree with your writing.. Her face left no room for comfort..!
No matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t find a story with this one; at least, not one that felt right. So, I did what came naturally; I created a meditative piece with audio… A little different however, it is ‘me’…

I really like what you did Carolyn.
Very interesting. I would have gone the opposite direction with that. If I was able to get into that pose, I would not be worried about walking when I’m old because clearly I would have more than enough flexibility to lose as I age.
Yes, you are probably right….!
She has enormous flexibility, and strength… I admire individuals who can do things such as this. Those who perform in the Olympics come to mind. Their beauty of the physical form always delights me… Ah well; I can dream..! 🙂
Nice, I like that the girl realized what was important and that being rich and skinny doesn’t mean you are happy. Here is mine..http://musingsfromtheturnippatch.wordpress.com/2012/10/03/picture-it-write-93012/.

Somehow, I hadn’t thought of yoga … probably because of what you say about her face: ‘a blank canvas, not in pain, but not serene either.’ I liked the showy-girl angle.
Haven’t been here in a very long time! Here’s my contribution http://fabfunlife.wordpress.com/2012/10/10/twistercandy/
