When your community does the work you have to respond. So here finally is some chinposin bloggery. The theme for today - al fresco chinposin came from our chief chinvangelist ThinGuy/ChinGuy. And when Andy Scherer jumped in with this beautiful head in the clouds image what could I do… blogged!

For those of you with short memories Andy also gave us this classic image a few weeks back.

The chinposin crew really needs to get those t-shirts done. Your creativity needs rewarding people!

I don’t know where these themes come from. Really. Today’s is model behaviour. These days when I am walking around I try and capture any good chinposes on whatever camera is to hand. Like this one.

Which became an avatar like so:

So we have had some great examples of model behaviour/the line of beauty… The best so far, imho, come from suki:

One reason I like it a lot the echoes of an earlier fantastic chinpose by Oliver. Annoyingly that was before we had a timeline… As soon as i get a copy i will post it here.

That’s Andy Scherer, giving Den a run for his money. More New Jersey than Costa Del Crime though.

Its not every year you come across a stylish geek, so when you do you want to capture the moment, like our soul mates over at DFOF. In that spirit check out @aneel today. Just check out that hat. Smokin! Where’d you get the shades, man?

And when we grow up we want to go to the same kind of chindigs:

Today Josh Porter posted a great little avatar.

But he wasn’t wearing shades, so we asked him in the back channel for an update. Aces!

@dahowlett tells me that steve gillmor doesn’t get chinposin. Well alrighty.

This is what I think:

	monkchips I mean how can you look at @marilynpratt’s image today and not “get” chinposin? http://tinyurl.com/3adbag less than a minute ago from web
	monkchips a backchannel for the semantics of emotion and play. gesture. 3 minutes ago from web
	monkchips ambient avatars enable new modes of ambient intimacy. its all about the gesture. its all about the raised eyebrow, the shrug, the grimace 3 minutes ago from web
	monkchips when i use an ambient avatar i don’t interrupt your stream with a link, or tinyurl. semantics in flight, in one nice neat thumbnail. gesture 5 minutes ago from web
	monkchips stevegillmor will understand chinposin when he realises its all about the gesture, rather than the link. active ambient avatars are gestural 6 minutes ago from web

We’ve called out Marilyn Pratt here before, but its worth doing so again. A gillmorian gesture, a macleodian social object, this image is… deep. As is Marilyn.

Johnnie turns the lights out with authority. Snoozechin.

Over at his blog I also noticed this bonus pic which I hope he uses for a chinposin avatar one day. Its kind of scary. The authority of secrecy. shhhhhh…..Or he could just use it as his “confidentiality” pimping avatar.

So when I announced last night that today we’d be stylin for a Friday Chinposin in Shades, I had high hopes the community would come up with some good avatar pics. I wasn’t disappointed. Dennis Howlett, the accmanpro, looks more like a rough and tumble lag on the Costa Del Crime or a film-star of a certain age than a blog troublemaker.

Dennis- you’re a Sexy Beast.

Oh my. @oliver is looking criss today! He wants help deciding which Chinpose to use. Damn he is stylin. I wonder what our brethren at Dedicated Followers Of Fashion think. Since when did SAP consulchin look like this? I mean Oliver is a style authority.

vdichev takes chinposin to a whole new level with a triple chin grab pose. There is a great buzz about chinposin today. Thanks for chinposin everyone.
