So how many does the peace sign when they're getting their photos taken? Being Asian I find I do that WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too much hahahaha

So I'm trying to find a new hand gesture for future photos that is not TOO common (I been using the thumbs up of late ^_^b) not utterly dumb (gang signs or the shocker). So far I have gone with the a-ok however so I read it can be considered rude by some cultures *sigh ...

So any suggestions? Interested to see what you guys might do as well

Around here it's mostly the Korean students who commonly does the gesture. Three of my first cousins go to this university wherein there's a big Korean population and they have gotten Korean classmates and most of the time they have the ^_^v sign.

As for my part i'm not really much of a hand gesture type of person, probably slipped in a few "^_^v"'s here and there but that "Okay" one looks good. Some of them are sort of just better for females tho.

hahah I'm not going to hold the "o" against my eyes like I'm a pirate (or peeping through a keyhole haha) ... I'm thinking more raising my elbow centering around my chest.

I don't think I pose as a mime Fuu :o

Experiment this weekend maybe haha ... all else fails I always got the good o' "V" or even the idol version of ^_^> hahahaha

I'd really think that a smile would suffice when it comes to photos, IMO.

If you want, how about a double sideways thumbs up?

OMG Fuu I approve Ultraman pose ... WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT!!!

So yeah my photo session is over now I only got myself ONCE with a-ok hahahah

So many cosplayers at anime conventions do the V sign that it seriously tempts me to facepalm (even with heavy makeup on).

I make it a point never to do the V sign during photos. Unless, you know, the character actually does it.

Yeah wayyyyyyyyyyyy too many people using victory and the problem is I'm so used to it I just do it as a natural reflex now whenever a camera is pointed at me hahahahahaha.

Come on a-ok!!!
