A Pretty Girl’s Weird Limb

Three Texas Christian University cheerleaders illustrated their spirit, smiling wide with “TCU” painted on their cheeks at a 2012 game. Dressed in white tank tops with blue straps, they were picture-perfect, poised for an electric performance. In their hands, pom-poms waited to vibrate with potential energy.

The photo represented another illusion created by a man’s hand, outstretched just so that it seemed to sprout from one cheerleader’s shoulder. This visual trick was an amusing take on an otherwise standard cheer scene. Well, even the best-laid poses can yield unexpected laughs. Such playful shots are cherished mementos of the lighter side of sporting events.
