Books: I really would love a nice book about female posing that wasn't dirty
I'll second that. Let me know if you find one.
I will, I have been keeping an eye out. The problem is that all books are either bridal posing, which are extremely basic, and glamour posing, which I am more interested in, but they usually contain explicit nudity.
For reference I really like Maxim, although it's not going to be of much good for posing high school senior girls, unless you want a law suit. The articles are entertaining though

Men are weird.
Here is my wish list of things I am looking for in a female posing book:
It can start with the basics, S curves, and whatnot, but then go deeper, with things like -
Posing for different figure types.
Posing for different styles of clothing (very important).
Different types of female portraiture, glamour and beauty vs. fashion and editorial.
How to talk to the model, getting them into the pose, pychological stuff.
And then maybe some tips on lighting and editing at the end.
Alright, I'm ready to write the dang book myself. Will everyone buy a copy from me?
