Only in the Pictures.

Okay, remember this?

M: How do people get their sleeves all perfectly pushed up like in that picture you linked to? It seems the second you move or unbend your arms it would mess up. Is it just one of those things that only works in the world of still photography?

A: I have no idea.

M: I want to see a real person pull this off without constantly having to adjust the sleeves. I think that person should be you.

A: Oh jesus, that looks hard.

M: BLOG ENTRY.

This is what she ended up wearing that day:

Conclusion: Those fashion photos are big fat liars.
