About three seconds ago, I was looking at the update statues' that appeared on my Facebook homepage and realized that someone had taken a picture of themselves to show their new hair-do. I clicked on the picture because I wanted to see what they had done to their hair. After saying "Oh, there's the difference", I realized that maybe this was not just a click and shoot picture. They had put some thought into how they were going to take the picture before just snapping away. In the picture, they had made this look that said "Is this okay?" by raising their eyebrows and biting one corner of their lower lip.
While I can see where this picture was going, I noticed something that maybe no one else has (or maybe they did not have the guts to say it). While the biting of the lower lip was a nice touch to making an artsy picture, the lip nibble actually made it look like she was chewing tobacco. After making this known to myself, that is all I could think about now. It went to being an artsy picture to being a picture that featured a disgusting habit. I could not get this image out of my head and now the picture was ruined.
This, however, was the the first time that I have seen pictures that have been completely ruined because the photographer did not take the time to look over their picture.
One of the worst pictures I have seen was a Facebook picture of a girl that I do not know. Honestly, I cannot remember where I saw the picture, but it was probably one of the groups on Facebook that is dedicated to bad profile pictures. Anyway, there was one picture in particular that really stood out. The girl was taking a picture of herself in her bathroom. It was one of those pictures that I like to refer to as "emo picture" because she took the picture from above her head while she looked up while the camera was facing down. You could see all of her body and she was wearing a swimsuit which can only mean that she was trying to get someone's attention. Well, she would be doing that, but for all of the wrong reasons. Here is why. Like I mentioned before, she took the picture in her bathroom. Well everyone knows that there is usually a bathtub, sink and toilet in a bathroom. In the background of this picture, there was not a bathtub or a sink, but the toilet. Most people would not think twice about the toilet being in the background, but this girl should have because someone had obviously gone to the bathroom beforehand and had not flushed the toilet. Lets just say that there was more than liquid in there. So now someone is definitely looking at the picture, but not because she is not leaving much to the imagination (either with her body or what she does while in the bathroom).
Obviously I spend a lot of time on Facebook and look at people's profile pictures. Once again, I was looking at someone's past profile pictures and realized something: They are all the same. Girls like to do this pose where they make "bedroom eyes" or make it seem like you are laying down next to them. The girl had all of her profile pictures set up like this. I have never seen a guy do a picture where he wanted to make an image that made it seem like you were in bed with him. I think girls do this because they want to make guys want them or want to sleep with them. Either way, it would probably seem boring to a guy if all of your pictures were like that. They might think "Is she constantly laying down?" or something along those lines. Also, these girls are never smiling in those types of pictures. That is something else I do not understand. If you finally found a companion, wouldn't you be happy? I admit that once I had a picture like that, but not for long because I realized how weird it looked. Also, it seemed unrealistic that my make-up would be as good in the morning as it was in that picture after laying down. Usually I have raccoon eyes and a red splotch on one side of my cheek from laying on either side of my face. This discretion also goes for girls that make kissy faces in all of their pictures. It pictures suddenly go from "nice lips" to "Are you sure you're not a duck?"
In conclusion, if you are going to take a picture in the bathroom, check the toilet first. And if you are going to use your profile picture as a way of picking up a soul mate, show them your other hobbies besides frowning, laying down, and kissing. Also, remember to only post pictures that your mother could be proud of because if she is anything like my mom, she will finally catch up with technology and want to be your "friend" on the Internet.
Until next time...
