Pet peeve: poor posing

I do not like displays or photos in which dolls are poorly posed. A doll's hands/feet shouldn't be twisted around, nor should its elbows/knees bend backward or sideways. A doll should be in a position that is either a) physically possible for a human being or b) physically impossible for a human being, but fine for the character. Ideally, a doll's clothes and hair should behave appropriately for the photo [disarrayed if you need disarray, neat, tidy and controlled otherwise]. I find poor posing such a distraction that I don't care how unusual, rare or interesting the doll is; if it's imitating a pretzel with bed head, I will ignore the overall picture in favor of sloppy details.

There are no visual aids for this post because I couldn't find any suitably anonymous examples and I'm not subjecting my own dolls to the humiliation of illustrating what NOT to do in posing.

Angelie, Marquis, Teodora and ZaeZae upgraded

Angelie, Korean-American fitness nut, got new hands from a Hi Glam Girl that I had lying around, gaining an axis of rotation, and Obitsu flat feet instead of high-heeled Barbie feet. I don't care about the small size of the Obitsu feet because she is wearing high-tops, in which she can now stand unassisted.

Marquis, debauched consort of the evil Justine, got a vest from Andrea's 75-ton gift and bloodstains thereon. I also aged his clothes with a seam ripper.

Teodora, leader of the Portuguese Irmas de Maria and also Pippilotta's great aunt, upgraded to her final headsculpt, a Toybiz Xena from Andrea's 75 tons. I weathered her face with brown colored pencil and gave her a haircut. She is now complete.

ZaeZae, a young Irma, some time ago, got big stompy boots from my War Toys order. More recently, she got hands from the DiD boy body, thus gaining two axes of rotation.  ( Pictures in alphabetical order below. )
