"I just donned the workout gear for the 5 minutes it took to take the photo."
Model and blogger, Rebecca Pearson, recently described to the Telegraph what went on behind her most popular Instagram posts...
"This was when I was into doing yoga every day, and had been struggling to read Crime and Punishment, which I’m ashamed to say took me an entire year to finish. As a fun post, I decided to get a shot of me doing yoga, Dostoevsky in hand, with the hashtag #dostoyflexy .
I didn’t do any exercise on that day (nor did I ever smile like this whilst reading that book), I just donned the workout gear for the 5 minutes it took to take the photo.
I didn’t post it straight away, because I decided it was a bit desperate, rather too revealing and that the pun wasn’t funny or clever. However, I ended up posting it later during a month when I didn’t have any work. A more truthful representation would have probably been a shot of me looking sad, eating peanut butter out of the jar, but that wouldn’t have got the 112 likes that this shot ended up getting."
