When did the "pout" become the new smile?


The age of selfies is upon us at the moment, and I am honestly not ashamed to say I take many myself. I also hate people who say "selfies are stupid", um, the only difference between a selfie and a regular picture is that you're the one taking it of yourself and not having someone else do it for you, so I honestly don't see how it's stupid. You look pretty, you're somewhere alone, you want to take a picture of yourself, OMG HOW DARE YOU! Like come on people, let's not criticize for the sole purpose of criticizing. However, with the selfie craze came a new trend which is found mostly in girls' pictures. The Pout.
A step-by-step guide to a "Pout Selfie":

1. Look disturbed like you just smelled something horrible.
2. Open your eyes wide enough so you look shocked.
3. Clear any sign of a possible smile, and just pout. Pucker those lips, not enough so that you're duckfacing but enough to make your lips look bigger and give you the bitchy vibe.
4. Take a million selfies of you pouting and Instagram the one that looks the most seductive (as if).

What in the world are you doing? Seriously now, why don't girls smile in pictures anymore? I scroll through instagram and when I see a girl smiling it's like WOAH FINALLY GOOD FOR YOU, YOU LOOK HAPPY AND NORMAL! First it started with duckfacing and at least people knew they look funny (well most of them did), but now a pout? Really? What happened to the good old smile? Do you have to look intimidating to take a good picture? It just looks funny to be honest.

Smile people! It's natural and it makes you look beautiful!
