What is it with this new trend with women scrunching their lips up for social media photos?
Can anyone pinpoint when this all started and who made it a “thing”?
Yo, your lips get stung by a bee or somethin?
Weird thing is that most of these women are already attractive so I don’t get the lip move. I get that they’re probably not desperate for a date but what it does reek of is desperate for attention.
Anyway, not that I think we necessarily have a young readership that this would apply to but just in case I can save a youngster that might be reading, not a good look.
Update:
OK,I spotted the trend but apparently I’m way behind on this- www.antiduckface.tumblr.com/ has been on the case for a while now.
Worth a looksie.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Oh, the duckface? Not that new. I agree it’s super dumb. There’s a whole article about the different selfie styles: http://www.complex.com/pop-culture/2013/10/the-15-types-of-selfies/duck-face-selfie

This is not new, my friend. This has been happening pretty much since facebook was invented. It’s called “the duck face.” Google that phrase and you’ll see all manner of duck facery. Enjoy!

I’m not a good one to ask as I have a literally never taken a “selfie” but I know a few people, who shall remain nameless, Who constantly update their Facebook pages with “I just sucked on a lemon” photos. I have never understood it!

The duck face has been around since 2007 or so (Myspace a bit earlier). It may have started out as sexy, add a gang sign (sideways V) but now seems to be mostly mock sexy for the socially awkward.

It is always good to find a word of equivalent intensity on the Y-axis to get a feel for the actual google trend line. Gloucester,Ma does nicely. It show annual increases during the summer months as expected and “duck face” beats it out in 2012.
