Simply smiling in a photo is so boring, why not strike a pose? Asians are notorious for their quirky and cute poses and this site focuses on documenting these poses. To help you recognize various poses, visual aids will be provided courtesy of popular Korean, Japanese, and Chinese models. The site’s style was inspired by the website Stuff White People Like, which often includes witty remarks, sarcasm, and stuff that is offensive if you can’t take a joke.
The pretty girl in the logo
The silhouette is none other than the lovely Hwang Mi Hee in this v-sign photo. Thanks to Jeff for designing the logo.
A little about me
My name is Steve and I enjoy blogging about Asian things (especially girls). I suffer from a condition known as the Cute Asian Girls Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (CAGOCD), which fuels much of my photo collecting. I also happen to be Chinese…so people can stop emailing me saying I have an Asian fetish or Asianphilia -_-;;

Why are most of the girls Korean?
In my collection of professional Asian models, the highest rate of poses come from Korean models. It’s not like I choose Korean models because I want to misrepresent Asia, it’s because I don’t have photos of other Asian models doing these poses. Another important factor is the photo quality, which requires good lighting and a professional feel. To ensure that high standard, I will rarely take examples from amateur photographs such as random people’s Facebook or Myspace photos unless it is for pose challenges.
I’m aware that Asia includes more than Chinese, Korean, and Japanese people
Again, this collection is just what I have and I happen to collect photos from Chinese, Korean, and Japanese models. I admit the site title could be more accurate, but something like mostly-korean-girls-in-low-to-mid-twenties-doing-poses.com seems a bit harder to remember.
I know these poses weren’t invented by Asians and aren’t just performed by Asians
You can spare me your complaints…
