Excited
People always mock Asians for their predictable peace sign pose in photographs, but we always knew there was much more to smiling in front of the cameras. I mean, there’s the fist bump to the face, the cute hand heart shape and the special OMG hand gesture, as seen in the picture.
I don’t know why we do this crap, but I think it stems from the whole kawaii culture of making sure we look as adorable as possible. Or maybe it’s just genetics, because I often find myself inexplicably doing the same thing any time I have to pose for a picture. I can’t help it, it’s just fun. I don’t know if it’s cute but hey, leave me alone.
Cute Asian Girl Obsessed blogger Steve has opened up Asian Poses, a new site dedicated to documenting all the kawaii Asian girls who love to strike various hand poses in their professional photographs. Someone please tell me Steve is an Asian dude, cause otherwise I’m going to have to jump him for his obvious Asian fetish.

Once again, Ernie proves that he rules!
It just occurred to me that I did an abridged version of this years ago when I was on business in India with a female counterpart originally from Taiwan. I'M AN EARLY ADAPTER, BIATCHES.
Steve is Chinese.
He has already answered this question.
There was another question. Would it be creepy if he was not Chinese/East Asian?
When does the attraction to a trait, become unhealthy.
THanks to 8Asians for bringing back Disqus.
Cheers.
This is just another outing with some of my friends. You should see how I posed with the budding street tree for my friend's patio birthday dinner.
Efren, before I read your comment, I was thinking that Moye, Joz and I need to make fun of these poses and do some ourselves tonight at our dinner get together! Hahaha Joz, bring your mom's racist camera!
Hmmm, well we ARE having dinner together soon...

Moye - I think we should just email "Steve" and ask him if he's East Asian. In fact, I'm going to do that now and let you know how it goes.
Ohhhh... you know that I'm SOOOO gonna strike some kawaii poses now.
I still think that you, Joz and Jee should do some pics making fun of this.
