To wonder why teenage girls have to pose for photo's with some sort of twisted expression on their face?

What's with that? My DDs facebook page today has another pic of her looking like she is sucking on a lemon. It seems to be the standard pose in younsters - what is that all about?

Lol I had this conversation with my daughter the other day. we can only hope one day they will realise how daft they look.

Thats what i cant understand - if they are going for some sort of pout, its blatantly not working - i always think it looks like a cross between being puzzled and snorting

My future-SIL makes duckface pouts in all her photos, or the stupid wide open mouthed one instead.

She will be 30 this year

ROTFL mychildren are barmy - i have just added that to my face book, my DD is going to KILL me!! but i wonder if the whole duckface thing is an american version - most of the ones i see, do that and TWIST!! They look ill, if im honest

I think they do it to ensure their faces look as thin as possible. Getting right up in the camera, focus on eyes and lips takes attention away from potential/possible/actual double chins.

But, yeah, I agree, it does look silly!

oh bless 'em they think it looks sexy.

I blame 'posh' spice. She started the 'sucking on a pee soaked nettle' look, didn't she?

At least she hasn't got her tits out. Be grateful
