Belacqua Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Uh-oh, I tried to check the www.antiduckface.com and got this message You think we did it? :lol: We have the power! We must use it humanely...but imagine tomorrow's headlines. Classical Homeschoolers Shut Down Internet. As for antiduckface, I was partial to West Coast Canadian Duckface (the caption, not the photo, which was fairly unremarkable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 I just briefly looked at http://www.antiduckface.com and laughed so hard! I learned a new word: jackassery. I think I will use that one often. :D :lol::lol::lol: Indeed! Great word. That site is funny. I liked the hospital duckface. She just looked so uncommitted to it and what's with all the weird nude lipsticks? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cindyg Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 Well, I looked. I've never noticed that before, but now it is driving me absolutely crazy! I kept flipping through the pictures expecting to see my niece. Finally I just went to her FB page. Yep, all her photos look like that. Drives me CRAZY!! I'm heading back under my rock...

I know it has become epidemic as of late, but I had a college roommate back in the late 80's-early 90's that did that in her pics all the time. :tongue_smilie: She would have fit right in on that website, in more ways than just the duckface.

ThatCyndiGirl Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 As I was brushing my teeth before bed tonight I pondered this phenomenon. I wonder if they are trying to look serious. When I take a pic of myself (dh asked me to when he was deployed) I tried not to smile because smiling causes wrinkles to show.....of course, I doubt that college and high school age kids are worried about wrinkles, so I'm probably wrong. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to share my story of going to a mini-reunion with some of my DH's school friends, and how (ahem) amusing it was to see a bunch of 40-somethings all bunching up like college kids, with their pouty faces, and yicky cleavage and beer bottles, taking pictures for Facebook. I can almost excuse the cutesy college girls doing it, but at the time I was thinking, "Does anyone really want to see this?!" :001_huh: Of course, I'm sure the WTM ducks will be just precious. :lol::lol::lol: The picture above made me literally LOL. Now I just need to dig out my denim jumper and root beer bottle and practice my mirror photography and pouts! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 We live in an area with VERY conservative families. It is odd to me to see these girls with dresses (they can't wear pants), long hair (can't cut their hair), no makeup, and sporting the sideways peace sign and pouty lips thing. They try to strike a "cool pose" too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word Nerd Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) I just checked 15YO relative's profile pic. (She has a whole folder full of duckface and tongue-out pics.) Let's see...mouth open, tongue sticking out, eyes heavily lined and staring at some point in the distance and not at the camera, which she is obviously holding. She added text at the bottom that says, "You'll think of me..." Yes, dear, but we won't think of you what you think we're thinking of you!

KidsHappen Posted January 7, 2011 Share Posted January 7, 2011 The Trout Pout is really weird on youths since that's the "too much plastic surgery" look. The sideways peace sign is gang sign wanabe. I know. When exactly did a peace sign become a gansta symbol? What a strange metamophisis. First a V for victory then a V for peace and finally a V for gangsta? :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 I could do without the tongues in the all the photos. I asked Dh if he thought this method of attracting a mate would have worked back in the late 80's. He said not in his opinion. Perhaps I should consider a new avatar? Nah, I don't think ol' Albert was trying to attract a mate. You did get me to wondering why I will happily tolerate the pose with a renowned genius with a sense of humor as opposed to young half-wits mimicking a pose assumed by thousands of other young and not-so-young half-wits.:001_huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) Phew! I am rather fond of Albert. However, along the same lines as duckface, is anyone else with seniors getting senior portrait advertising where the girls put P!nk and Amy Winehouse to shame. Don't get me wrong, I love both these ladies but am not quite sure about senior portraits that look like their videos. I am talking about some serious "Come hither" looks topping eye-popping lycra tank tops and ample cleavage. Are these photos for friends and there is something more traditional for grandma? Do parents really foot the bill for those shots and then do dads take them to the office and share them with co-workers.:001_huh: Edited January 8, 2011 by swimmermom3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3littlekeets Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Silly as it may be, I really cannot talk. I had Madonna wanna be hair, ripped net gloves, and blue and green eye shadow at some point in my teen years. I wore leggings with glitter and long dangling crosses in photos. A few years before (and after), I had nothing put Izod shirts, khaki pants, popped collars, and penny loafers. In my senior photos, I'm wearing a burgundy feather stole and 2 lbs of Aqua Net Extra Super Hold. I'm not thrilled that my friends are scanning and uploading ANY of those photos :ohmy:. In college, I went to WHAM, Depeche Mode, LoveNRockets, Jimmy Buffett, and George Strait concerts all the same year on dates -- thank goodness those pictures have not surfaced :blush5:. What I am saying is, I think we ALL tried to LOOK cool....and what we thought looked cool then, really was dorky -- my goodness -- JUST SAY the 70s.

FaithManor Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I think we've got a completely obssessed with "beauty" (whatever the cultural definition of that is at the time - probably established in this culture by the likes of Calvin Klein and ilk). I'm fairly no-nonsense. I wear make-up when I want to, I refuse high heels period....sorry...no man in the world or any measure of societary acceptance is worth aggravating my ankle injury...and so forth. But, there is a HOST of things that will do for One man...that dh of mine! For our anniversary trip to Chicago I polished my nails and toes for the first time in maybe 20 years! (Didn't even do it for my sister's wedding.) Got highlights in my hair.....gasp! Bought some new make-up and purchased and dress and shrug in colors I never would have considered wearing before because I knew he'd like it. It wasn't all once sided either. He got a haircut that I knew would look fantastic but that he would have been otherwise disinclined to ever have done. He actually put styling mousse in his hair and styled it! He wore his tux, new color dress shirt (normally will only wear white so Gray/Silver was a big deal.) That kind of thing. We looked GOOD! That said, it wasn't for anyone else...just for us. There is a lot of money made the world over based on taking advantage of cultural inferiority complexes and insecurity. Just imagine what would go out of business if men and women, as whole societies, "grew-up" and didn't buy into it anymore.

MusicMouseTN Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Can someone explain to me why they take pictures in the bathroom in the mirror with the camera showing? I can 'kinda' understand wanting to look cool with the trout pout and the peace sign, but I haven't figured out the bathroom mirror thing. Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks ...
