- You cannot overstate the influence that Anita Taiton
has had on Hollywood.
And yet, no one knows her name.
- She is a celebrity for celebrities.
I mean, I wouldn't trust anybody else.
- Before Anita, the industry was a dead fish.
A lifeless, stinking husk.
It's what the French would call shit.
- People think that posing is just about standing.
But they don't truly see.
Have you ever really looked at celebrities
on the red carpet?
They stand the way no normal human would.
Yet they make it look natural.
That's my work.
My name is Anita Taiton,
and I'm a luxury class body arrangement designer.
Or, in the common tongue, a pose coach.

Anita is the pose coach around town.
I mean, before she turned up, Hollywood was a mess.
People didn't know where to look, how to walk.
They were acting like real people.
It was awful.
She changed everything.
Every pose is carefully crafted to mask flaws
and accentuate strengths, or, as I like to call them,
reverse flaws.
For instance, the truss turkey.
Tucks the elbows to accentuate the breasts.
The crossed angles elongates the legs.
Paired with the supplicant, it increases vulnerability.
The Jennifer Lawrence, aka falling down the stairs.
This makes you seem more approachable, yes?
Let's move on to the more casual poses.
Pushing a stroller while using your iPhone.
The discreetly leaving a restaurant wearing scarf
and sunglasses.
Or I don't want you to take a picture of me,
but I will be sure to display my fingers
so you get a good look at my face.

Today I have a very special client coming in for a new pose.
- Anita, how are you?
- Kris, Khloe.
How are you, darling?
So good to see you.
Khloe Kardashian is so scrutinized,
so photographed that she already makes
unnatural poses look natural.
- And they said she didn't have any talent.
- So for this challenge,
I have designed my greatest pose ever.
- I've known Anita since we were children.
Even then you could tell she was drawn to posing.
But then again, she comes from a long line of pose coaches.
Her ancestors designed poses for King Tut,
Napolean, and even God.
But all of those will look like garbage compared
to her newest pose.
- Today, I have something that's going to make you
the talk of the Oscars.
- Are you sure?
- Oh, trust me.
The Oscars are my Oscars.
- I'm so excited.
- Yes.
- I'm a little nervous because the pose is really difficult,
and plus I'm not even nominated for an Oscar.
- After this pose, she will be.
It combines all the most difficult elements
of the classic poses.
The Jolie leg, the lean back, the kickback,
the teapot handle, the teapot spout,
the butt poke, the adopted baby.
All at the same time.
Yes, having a baby is a pose.
It's perfect for people who don't know what to do
with their hands.
This is it.
- But will this break the internet?
- Oh, it'll break the world.
And probably also your arms.
