    This Week in the Hound House:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    I’m using a Home Depot discount coupon this week to stock up on a product I can’t live without. It’s HDX 32-ounce Citrus Degreaser Spray<\/a>. I use it for everything, from wiping down kitchen cabinets to getting tar off my hands. Way faster than Goo Gone. My other must-have cleaner is Grandma’s Secret Spot Remover<\/a>, available at Walmart or on Amazon. Better than Shout.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    1. Flattering Poses for Fabulous Photos<\/h3>\n

    \"Flattering<\/a><\/p>\n

    Here’s the worst way to take a photo of a group of people.<\/p>\n

    The person holding the camera shouts, “OK everybody, at the count of three, say cheese!”<\/p>\n

    The photo looks posed. Even worse, you look like a soldier standing at attention, stiff arms at your side.<\/p>\n

    Houston TV news anchor Dominque Sachse<\/strong> created a fun 16-minute video that includes lots of tips I’ve never heard on how to discover your best angles for the camera according to your body type. Some of them, she says, can make you look 5 pounds lighter. They include:<\/p>\n

    –Eliminate a double chin by standing tall, shoulders back, and tipping your chin downward slightly.<\/p>\n

    –For a full-body shot that makes you look thinner, turn your body slightly to the side at about a 45-degree angle, then turn the top of half of your body toward the camera.<\/p>\n

    –When standing, create “holes” by moving your arms away from your body and standing with legs slightly apart. Or bend on your knees and crouch down for a more informal look. This lets in the light and makes for a more interesting photo.<\/p>\n

    –If someone is taking a photo of you and a few other people, ask them to take several shots holding the camera at different levels, starting from the top and moving the camera down a few inches before each new photo.<\/p>\n

    To do:<\/strong> Watch the video above and take the time to experiment with the angles that make you look your best. Dominique says this takes time. But the results will be worth it.<\/p>\n

    2. Thursday: Get Booked on National TV<\/h3>\n

    \"Thursday:<\/p>\n

    When you pitch a TV producer, you\u2019re pitching someone with a certain mindset who\u2019s looking for golden nuggets of information within the pitch.<\/p>\n

    They\u2019re all asking themselves, \u201cWould this person make viewers stop surfing and put down the remote?\u201d<\/p>\n

    If they\u2019re interested, they might ask you one question you must know how to answer because it could determine whether you get onto their shows or you end up in the rejects pile.<\/p>\n

    Find out what it is Thursday when four producers and guest bookers for ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox share their best tips on how to move to the head of the pack. It\u2019s at 2 and 7 p.m. Eastern<\/strong>, sponsored by Steve Harrison.<\/strong><\/p>\n
