Everyone on Instagram suddenly is in this pose

Well, I can't keep up with all this craziness either. Last summer there was a whole ‘thing’ with that ridiculous thigh gap, then there was room made for the ab crack (a vertical line between the abdominal muscles), then came the thigh brow (May had this to say about it) and now there's a new trend in we-are-totally-cuckoo-obsessed-with-our-bodies-land.

Let's call it the new Insta trend of the summer: the Bambi pose. Now, I had seriously pushed the Disney movie out of my memory (am I the only one still traumatized by the death of Bambi's mother? NO JOKE), but apparently it's time to watch the movie again. Yep, I find the comparison a bit far-fetched too, but if you want to do the Bambi pose, you sit on your knees with your thighs folded over your calves, just like a little fawn learning to walk. Meanwhile, you gaze sultrily at the camera. Preferably by the water, on an inflatable animal or something with a beach nearby. A pose that I honestly would think about three times with my, uh, hockey thighs, because EVERYONE knows that your legs become TWICE as wide when you do that, but hey, maybe that's the whole point: it's only meant for the Bambi's in this world. And so it's time for a little competition: So You Wanna Be Holland's Next Baby Deer 2017. Behold my favorites.

  1. Look, this is how we like to see it: Bambi by the pool. That she hasn't touched those fries with a finger, you understand, I understand, but hey, it looked so nice in the photo. A good starting pose, but it can get even better.
  2. In the category you-almost-would-get-a-hernia-from-it. And this is the sultry look I'm talking about, right?

  3. Bella Hadid has mastered the basic pose and cranks up the difficulty level a notch with one hand in her hair and the other on her thigh. Of course, there are always the show-offs.
  4. In the category ‘no-this-really-really-feels-good’. Extra bonus points for the view.

  5. #JustChilling #BambiPose #IWokeUpLikeThis #BambiIsThaBom. Nah, I'm not feeling it with this one. ‘Neeeeext!“
  6. Yes, FINALLY; the inflatable animal appears! Score score!
  7.  YES YES BELLA, OKAY, STOP IT, YOU WON. Twelve points for you and a free Bambi DVD + inflatable deer. God, please don't hurt yourself.
