I noticed he does this stiff awkward placement with his arms and hands during Photo op's a lot.

And why is he that height, with those doe eyes, singing the way he does?


What would you prefer? Lenny Kravitz? Lady Gaga? Everyone has their idiosyncrasies.

Deal with it.


I wouldn't describe him as having "Barbie arms" either, whatever the f that means.

I think he fidgets with his hands a lot - not as pronounced as, say, ringing them, but he doesn't strike me as someone who sits still by habit. All of those photos show him doing something with his hands - have you seen any 'barbie arm' pics where his fingers/hands aren't touching?

If you rub your hands or fidget with your fingers, noticed that your elbows are quite stiff - you literally end up with 'barbie arms'.

Then, 'snap', someone takes a photo, and it looks like you just keep your arms in the one position, whereas they might just be supporting a nervous habit.

I'd never actually noticed it before.

Nor had I noticed what Mask alluded to. Le sigh. Wish you could unring some bells, but alas, it can't be done wink

Is everyone totally drunk on this forum tonight? These threads are strange, stranger than usual. Then they get violently defensive when someone points out how odd they're behaving.

No one is behaving oddly. There is nothing strange about noticing a person quirks.

I think it all comes down to the language used. One could say something similar about why you were so aggressive in "pointing out how odd" the subject was, particularly a line like "Deal with it."

People post bizzare things on here all the time. Barbie arms is a strange topic, yes (although by no means the strangest), but it clearly intended as a light-hearted thread. Particularly in the absence of any substantial news for anyone other than those living in or travelling to Canada, I don't know that it's all that harmful.

If Pickles had started the thread with "What's with the f&^$ing barbie arms?! Why can't he relax his goddam elbows!" then I'd be totally with you wink

But, you see...she didn't.

As for "what the f" barbie arms are, this is probably a more descriptive pic:

You're looking at his Ken Pecker rather than his Barbie arms.

And now, live on stage, sensational drag act Brian Valente and his ventriloquist dummy 'lil Prince'... followed by puppetry of the penis. not suitable for minors.

blah blah blah

I've never noticed that before. lol

Maybe it's just a habit when he feels uncomfortable or something.

I don't think his arms are stiff like a Barbie & maybe it's not fidgety hands. But we have no idea how much music flows through him, constantly is my guess. So perhaps when he's at an event he has to keep his hands still or they would be playing out musical notes into the air...maybe? Or the fact he is incredibly shy?

this barbie arms thing is damn stupid. first pic hes leaning forward, where do you think his arms should be? second pic the chairs have arm rests, where else can his arms go? should he be waving his arms above his head? should he be sitting on his hands?

I thought one was prosthetic...wasn't there a rumour he had one removed so he could suck his club foot? smile

I think that it's staged..esp if he does it for a photoshoot.
