Favorite picture of Shawn

Shawntastic is good, didn't we have Shawny to describe something Shawn-like or was it for something else?

Oh and I have a great new pic of Shawn that I found recently but I think it's old

Nice pic...........her eyes almost look black in that one, while the other lass' eyes are blue.

Can't find my Thesaurus at the mo, only Roger's Profanisaurus, better not use owt from THAT. (UK posters will know of it )

Exquisite?

here's my contribution to this thread:





these and the one on my avatar are my favorites, i love how happy she always looks! and her hair looks fantastic in the bottom two

The first one is brilliant, I haven't seen that before. Rock chick Shawn lol

Man the photographer of this one must of been jesus himself. ;D

he must have divinely inspired me to press the button at the right time...shawn is pointing upwards to thank him, she could already tell it was going to be a great shot

Isn't that the "sign" for I love you or something......I could be wrong. I thought she was giving the sign to Mary Lou.

Becuase isn't the rock one without the thumb? Sign of the devil!!!!

Too lazy to find it myself, but should be in there. I know it's I love you in sign language but don't think that was intended.

Oh yeah, my bad. I didn't notice she used the thumb, well it must have been to someone

This is my favorite recent picture of Shawn. The setting behind her looks very pretty and so does she!

And Scrawney, she is pointing to someone...me in the stands

The last one on Mike's list is so cute. She just looks.. she looks like she's up to something and trying to get away with it by looking cute. It's working..

according to that wikipedia article, it is also a symbol to curse someone in italian. is that just as good as the rocker sign, or no?

from my limited experience with italian cursing, i'd have to say no, but maybe it'll grow on me...

come to think of it, i gave Shawn the rock on sign after the show in philly, just before she got in her car, i think i was in the habit having gone to a metal concert the night before...

Now that one makes me smile: look at how she's leaning, nonchalantly, on the railings, looking cool............then you scroll down and see that she has to be on tip-toes to do it. LOL

And she's got pretty toes too

Oh, and that "rock-chick" one? Without the thumb it's used in most of Europe, especially the southern parts, for warding off the evil-eye. especially when done with the left hand. It's usually done with the fingers horizontal, and the hand describes a movement from the centre, outwards.

WITH the thumb, who knows?

yeah apparently the guy from Black Sabbath used the symbol in that way as a trademark type thing and it spread to being a symbol for metal and then to rock in general and kind of adapted that as its meaning...

i'm learning all kinds of obscure facts because of that one photo lol

That one photo has taught me more about hand signals than anything else

Shawn Johnson: attractive, athletic, and educational!

Concerning the hand gesture Shawn is giving, it means, "I love you." She was probably giving it to her parents in the audience.

it's the only logical reason. unless she gave it to a lucky fan

or possibly the crowd in general?

no couldn't be. love like that goes straight at someone, it doesn't disperse (makes me sound like i know something. could of been at a group)

my bad, i should really do research before putting up ignorant posts like that

It was to Mary Lou Retton. They talk about it on the Olympic DVD
