Jessica Alba Has an Easy Mom Trick for Looking Sexy in a Bikini
If you're like most moms, then you probably cringe and immediately reach for a towel the minute anyone whips out a camera and tries to snap a picture of you in a bathing suit. (Sound about right?)
Swimwear photos can be extremely unforgiving, but if you know a certain trick for posing for the camera, being captured on film in your bathing suit doesn't have to be a traumatic experience. And judging from this photo that Jessica Alba tweeted of herself wearing a bikini in Italy, she's figured out the secret to looking picture perfect in her two-piece.
By laying down for the shot instead of sitting in her lounge chair or standing up, Jessica's body looks even slimmer and more bikini worthy than it normally does.
When it comes to bikinis, gravity is our friend -- which is probably why so many of us do that weird sort of "shimmy" move every time we take off our cover-up and position ourselves on the lounge chair. The faster you lie down -- the less chance there is of anything spilling over or jiggling around too much.
And Jessica isn't the only celeb who has figured out the whole "lying down in a bikini makes me look hotter" thing. Heidi Klum also recently tweeted a scantily clad beach photo showing off her flat abs on the beach.
And there you have it, ladies. The next time you want to document your vacation by taking plenty of photos -- just make sure to get into position first (especially if you plan on posting the photos on Facebook for everyone to see).
Do you mind when someone takes a photo of you wearing a bathing suit?

Tried it and nope it didn't work, you must have to have a bikini worthy body for it to work. Hmmm who woulda thought? (Please note the heavy sarcasm)

STEP 1: LAY DOWN
STEP 2: SNAP PIC
Really? Any pretween taking advantage of myspace angles could've told you this. I cannot believe someone sincerly felt this was an article worthy piece of.... news? I don't even think this is considered news. This sounds like it came out of a dumbass 13 year olds mouth. & what if you're 400 lbs? Will your stomach be magically flat when you lay down? Obviously not.

No one has yet bothered to answer the question at the end of the article. Then again, it has little to do with the body of the article.
The first time I went to the beach after delivering my last child, I did try to be laying down for my pictures because it did actually help my stomach look better. So it worked at least for me.
But anyway, since it was asked and I did bother to read the article and make a comment, I say no it doesn't bother me. If I'm outside in a bathing suit, I know people can see me. If people can see me, why be bothered if they take a picture of me? They may take that picture with bad intentions, perhaps to add to their candid voyeur 'porn' collection, or to make fun of me. But I made the decision to go out in public with a bathing suit and I should be mature enough to handle the consequences of my actions whether they are good or bad. The only thing that would bother me is if they add personal identifiable information with the picture. That would piss me off.
