There are two possible conclusions to be drawn from Joanna Krupa's bold and artistic take on the Rae Sremmurd-approved task of challenging mannequins. Krupa, legendary model and star of Real Housewives of Miami, has either completely reinvented the unspoken rules of the challenge or she just doesn't care about rules in general because rules are reserved exclusively for lames. Perhaps both?

Krupa's version of the Mannequin Challenge, shot by her husband Romain Zago, lasts all of 5 seconds and expertly eschews Instagram's notoriously stupid censorship tactics with some careful maneuvering. However, there's no music. Not even a single note of "Black Beatles." There's also a noticeable absence of the usual swooping cinematography found in previous Mannequin Challenge classics, as exhibited with great care in Kristen Wiig and the Saturday Night Live team's version below: 

And one more thing: Krupa blinks! Mannequins don't blink. Blinking isn't a challenge. This video only lasts, like, five seconds. So what gives? I'm going to stick with the "just doesn't care about rules in general because rules are reserved exclusively for lames" theory, which essentially just makes Krupa's version of the viral phenomenon a spin-off of the original, i.e. Blinking Mannequin Challenge: Joanna Krupa Edition or some variation thereof.

The silence in this version of the Mannequin Challenge, however, is admittedly quite deafening. In keeping with the theme presented by Krupa, the only real choice for the official Blinking Mannequin Challenge theme song is this:
