Reconsidering Duckface

It's not a smile.  It's not quite a pucker or a pout.  It's meant to be more sexy than sneer.  It hints at "attitude" and tries to tell the world "I'm ready to party" or maybe even "you want me."   But what does duck face really tell the world about you?

More and more people -- especially young women trying to represent a kind of "personal brand" in their online pictures -- are falling victim to the countenance-twisting madness that is duck face.

Make the world a better place --  just say no to duckface.   Here's a website dedicated to shaming purveyors of D.F. into changing their evil ways.

Check your friends' pictures on your favorite social networking site.  How many of your young women friends are representing the flightless water fowl?  Twenty-five percent?  Half?

Any male duckface to be had?   Middle aged duckface?

Are you concerned about the influence of celebrity duckface on your children?

Do you give duckface?

Are you an unconscious duckfacer?  Or do you know exactly what you're doing when you wrinkle up into a platypus snout?  Do you think it looks good?

Do you have a friend who needs a duckface intervention?

Maybe your sister?  girlfriend?  Is your own moms rocking the quacker?   Cougar duckface could be, like, a whole branch of social anthropology unto itself.

Have you been putting off the duckface talk with a loved one because the topic is too painful to address?

Do you think going permaduck will get you your own reality show?
