Give Julie Alice's Number

“Help yourself and fill free to share any intel you can gather.” I opened the contacts up and handed it to her.

“Will do.” Julie nodded and looked at my phone while entering it into her own. Almost on cue her phone went off after she had entered in Alice's number. She picked it up as I saw she had a video chat coming in. “Speaking of family.” Julie answered the call. “Hey mom.”

“Hey. The girls wanted to call you and say goodnight.” Julie's mom said as Julie held the phone low enough that I could see a not to bad looking older woman who was still good looking for her age. I saw two younger girls who had to be Julie's younger sisters.

“Hey sissy. We liked your pictures.” The older of the two said. She was a preteen from the look of her and I would say maybe twelve. “Especially the heart one.”

“I like the one with you and the wings.” The younger girl said. She was was maybe nine.

“Thank you.” Julie nodded and turned the camera my way. “Guys this is my friend Jake. He took the pictures for me today.”

“Hey Jake.” The girls waved.

“Hey girls. Nice to meet you.” I did a little wave back feeling a little put on the spot.

“Is he your boyfriend Julie?” The older one asked.

“Anna. Behave.” Their mom said.

“No sadly still single. We just meet today.” Julie said as she leaned over and bumped me with her shoulder.

“Where are you at dear?” Her mom asked.

“Laundry room. Me and Jake are washing our clothes.” Julie hopped down off the table flashing some leg and panned the camera around to show them,

“Wow. How many washing machines are there?” One of the sisters asked.

“It is sort of a laundromat for us students so a lot. About half of them are filled with my clothes.” Julie teased.

“Sounds about right. I could have used that in our basement when all seven of you were living here.” There mom replied. They talked for a minute before the mom sent the younger two off to bed.

“So Jake, you are a photography student?” I heard the mom ask and Julie turned the camera toward me.

“Business but I am taking a few photography classes as my minor. Didn't want to put all my eggs in one basket.” I shrugged as I looked at the phone.

“Smart lad.” Julie's mom replied.

“Shh. You are making me look bad here.” Julie gave me a swat with her hand.

“I am sure you will do just fine.” I shook my head at Julie then looked at her mom. “Your daughter makes some really nice clothes and is very talented from what I saw. She was just showing me her pictures of what she has made.”

“I would agree. She always took more after her father being artistic like him. How are your drawing classes going anyways Julie? I know you wanted to improve your skills at that.” Her mom said.

“Well I drew a naked lady today in class. I can send you guys a picture of the drawing if you like.” Julie grinned as she stood next to me so I could see.

“I think not Juliana.” Her mom gave the camera a look.

“Okay I will send it to just dad then.” Julie smiled. I couldn't help but let out a little laugh. It was good to see she was the same with her folks as with me and everyone else. She was how she was and didn't pretend to be someone else like it or leave it.

“Juliana Grace Summers.” Her mom said loudly using the full name.

“Just messing Mom.” Julie smiled.

“Jake. Pop her for me.” Mrs. Summers said. Before I could Julie playfully snipped her teeth as if she might bit me then moved away before I could.

“Where is dad at anyways?” Julie asked.

“He and your brother went to a game but should be home soon. You know the boys and Friday night but you probably be right there with them if you were here.”

“Make sure you tell dad I am highly upset he went without me.” Jules smirked.

“I will. Speaking of siblings your sister wants to know...” Her mom began before Julie cut her off.

“Already spoke to her and I can alter your old wedding dress for her. I will come up one weekend unless she wants to drive down here instead. We will figure it between us.” Julie shrugged and talked with her hand. It was funny to watch her and see how animated she got. She had the eyebrows of a model that moved as she talked and made every expression on her face more vibrant. “Not sure why she wants a white wedding but if she wants to freeze her behind off in a wedding dress that is her problem.”

“Still. Thank you. I will not keep you. I need to get some things done before carrying myself to bed.

“Bye mom. I love you guys.” Julie said and blew a kiss and a wave.

“Love you two dear.” Hey mom replied. “Jake it was nice to meet you as well.”

“You to ma'am.” I yelled and Julie turned the phone back toward me.

“Please just Carol dear. I feel old enough as it is.”

“Okay Ms. Carol.” I replied.

“Don't let Julie get you into to much trouble.”

“I will try but make no promises with this one” I smiled as I looked at Julie with a mischievous grin. “Sweet dreams.”

“You two dear.” She said and hung up.

“They seem fun.” I smiled at Julie.

“They are something.” Julie shook her head and looked at her phone. “So you mind if I friend you online so I can tag you in the pics you took of me.”

“That is fine.” I shrugged. I generally didn't post pics I took of people online but let the people I took post them themselves.

“So now that you seen my stuff any pointers for when I am taking pics of myself. You and Alice seem to have something figured out I don't.” Julie said after she had finished sending me a friend request.

“You want me to show you?” I smiled.

“Hell yes.” Julie nodded as she put her phone down.

“For one put the camera down and use it as a mirror. May I?” I said holding out my hand.

“Please.” Julie handed it over. It took a second to find the camera icon and open it up. I was glad to see it wasn't new and had a few miles on it like mine.

“First you will need good lighting so in here is not that bad compared to the dorm rooms.” I looked around. I didn't much care for the florescent lighting but it beat the dorm rooms. I slid the tide pod container forward ans set the phone against it then set the box of dryer sheets in front of the bottom of the phone t be sure it would slid forward. “Set it up like this so it doesn't shake and it will give you a sort of runway POV as the camera is looking up at you slightly. Not that you need it but it can enhance your bust some.”

“Yeah I am good there but thanks for noticing.” Julie wet her lips as she smiled.

“Your phone is better then mine so you might be able to get away with a zoom but as a general rule I don't suggest using the zoom on a cellphone indoors as it can make the picture my grainy. You can adjust the angle of the phone and step backwards and forward in the picture to get the view you want. Just be sure that you are filling most of the frame so you are getting more of you without getting to close and cutting anything off like the top of your head. Set the timer and now you are free to pose as you like.” I said as I touched her shoulders and moved her in front of the camera. “Now you can do any pose you want from any angle. I had a friend who was obsessed with selfies and this worked best for her ultimately.” I smiled thinking of Britney.

“Okay that helps a lot actually but how do I pose?”

“When in doubt I go for the three quarter view. That is where you...”

“I know what it is. I draw remember.” Julie cut me off.

“Sorry.” I shook my head. I was used to explaining things to high-school girls not people that knew stuff about art. I was sure she had done her fair share of projects.

She stood in the pose and I smiled. “It makes your waist look smaller while the breasts and buttocks appear more pronounced. Not that you need it but you want to show off your curves and how the lines of your clothes flow over them and not it hanging flat against your body.” I said as I touched the seam of her dress on her shoulder and ran it down over her arm. From the side the lines of her dress flowed more with her figure then they did from the front.

“Nice.” Julie said as she rocked her shoulders to compare.

“For added effect can arch your back so your chest and buttocks are out slightly.” I smiled as I touched the small of her back at her waist pushing forward while pulling her shoulder back slightly

“A little harder for me to do then other girls since I have the rod in my back.” She smirked. “I have movement more in my upper spine then below. Not enough to hamper me from day to day but I will never be a gymnast.”

“Yeah that could be a problem.” I nodded. I would never have been able to tell to see her move around but she seemed to work around it.

I thought for a second and reached down tapping her thigh. “Slide this foot back.”

“Okay.” She said and slid her leg back.

“Now lean back on the foot using it for support. It will give the same illusion in the chest area improve your curves here.” I smiled as I slid my hand up to her hip.

“That works I suppose. Work with what I got.” She smiled then stood up. “You sure seem to be.” She teased putting her hand on mine as she looked back over her shoulder and smiled.

“If you want me to stop?”

“Did I say that.” Julie shrugged and rubbed my hand. “Keep going.”

“You can use your arms in your shots as well so you don't cover your body with them. Put your arms behind your head. That will give you a little lift in the chest and make the shoulders appear fuller to give the illusion of a slimmer waist.” I said. It was basically a twist on the body building trick they used for posing I had picked up from a magazine Rory had left lying around. By making the upper body larger by flexing and raising the shoulders it made the waist look smaller. Models did the same as well sometimes in photography to enhance the bust.

Julie put one hand behind her head and gave her waist a little twist and then put the other hand as well. “That will work.”

“You can't take every pic like this but you can mix and match to find posses that work for you.” I smiled.

“What if I want to show off the front though.” Julie looked at herself in her phone as she turned back toward the front.

“If you want to shoot from the front and create a flow I suggest a curve pose. Put your hands on your hip and stick it out one way and your shoulders the other.” I said and she stuck her hip to the side and tilted her shoulders the other way.

I reached out and touched her waist. “See how it gives you more of a curve to one side similar to the back.” I smiled. ”It is similar to a pose you have drawn several times your just not thinking of your artwork when you are wearing the clothes.” I shrugged.

“Shut up.” Julie blushed as she probably felt like a bit of an ass for not realizing she had been drawing the poses she should be doing but then these were poses and not how she naturally moved.

“Slid this leg out to the side more and turn your foot out.” I smiled and tapped her waist. She slid her leg out and I slid my hand down over her hip. “See how it gives the illusion of fuller hips by opening up the pelvis.”

“Nice.” She smiled as she leaned back against me.

I slid my hand back up and took her waist in both hands. “If you want to add to that and take a deep breath in.” I smiled. She did as I kept my hands in the same place. “Feel how your waist contracts.” I said.

“I feel something.” She teased.

“Focus. Breathing in makes your waist subtly smaller. Maybe not enough to consciously notice you are doing it but the human eye can detect the most subtle of changes plus the chest expands when you breath in that again will make your breasts appear fuller.”

“Hmm. Least you didn't tell me to suck in my tummy.” She joked which it also had the effect of doing. “Anything else I can do to show off my clothes?”

“Well if you put your hands on your hip it be a great way to show off any rings or bracelets you might be wearing or touch your chest or lean forward while tugging at it to hold it steady. You had on quit a few when we meet so.” I shrugged.

“See. You get me so well.” Julie smiled as she turned around and gave me a playful peck on the lips. “This helps a lot. Thanks.”

“Anytime.” I nodded.

“So is this the phone trick something you use to send Alice dick pics.” Julie teased as she grabbed her phone.

“Julie?” I shook my head.

“What. You seem to have it down to a science with all the angles and stuff. I am just picturing you wind milling it for the camera or something.”
