A very common angle trip is the aforementioned "blackout". It's another trick that women are very familiar with (like vertical stripes) to cause the illusion of slimming, that non-homosexual men have no familiarity with. The blackout is simply the use of dark clothing and backgrounds to hide the parts of the body that you feel are "weakest":

She's succeeded in both hiding everything and looking like she's getting ready to condemn you to the Phantom Zone. In the second photo she actually shows a bit more:
Notice what she's done; she's given us a vertical line from the bangs to the cleavage, framed by darkness, and as we know vertical lines are slimming. What you have to be aware of though are the round shoulders, which you can just make a bit out in this
