The thing with these shots that people should keep in mind is that the person featured may not be aware at all of what it represents, it may just be the pose that the photographer has asked them to do, and the photographers may be under instruction from editorial teams etc to get these types of shots. You would assume that anyone in Hollywood would know this, but it might not be the case, especially if shots were taken when they were young and new to it all. The reason I say this is because I know of someone whose work has featured this pose and believe me, there's not a hope in hell's chance they're into creepy shit. I think it largely gets copied without any further thought.
That’s what I’ve always wondered... do they know what they’re being asked to do. And I wonder how the photo shoots go... like is their “behind the scenes” talk about the symbolism that’ll be exposed in the shoot, if they discuss things like “well, so and so is a beta sex slave so let’s have her wearing a leopard print, etc...”
Sometimes the photographers tell the "Models" how to move.
Sometimes the photographed people just imitate certain positions or looks, which they have seen somewhere else in popculture. Not everyone with a "one eye"-picture is one of [them]....

I totally agree with this and wish more people thought this way.
