Blogger Smile vs. Real Smile: You Decide

If you're an avid blog reader {like myself} you've probably noticed a strange phenomenon known as the "blogger smile." Head cocked to the side {or just down}, eyes up, chin down, then pout. Then smile. Then pout once more. Snap, snap, snap. Are we familiar?

I say, let's start a smile revolution. Isn't it time to flash those pearly whites once again? Is happiness not chic? What do you prefer?

Dress Me Dearly said...: This is sooo true.

I know for me I hate smiling in outfit photos or even showing my face. I always try to look down. Not because I'm trying to be cool, mostly because I hate how my face photographs! Also I like the focus to be on the clothes - not me.

But I'm going to try harder. Smile revolution!!; March 3, 2011 at 11:06 AM

Oh to Be a Muse said...: the blogger smile works because it makes every blogger their own photographer/model. does wonders for a photo. but i tend to smile in 9/10 of my blog photos, so i'd have no problem bringing the smile back. :); March 3, 2011 at 2:35 PM

Connie @ SogniESorrisi said...: Teeth or not I think you can tell when a smile is "real"--or at least heartfelt and we need more of those!; March 4, 2011 at 12:05 AM
Unknown said...: I'm so guilty of this and I'm a photographer! I'm always trying to encourage a smile though...let's start the revolution together (and I'll try to take my own advice!) x; March 4, 2011 at 9:52 PM

Fashnlvr said...: I always smile - I have tried to not to smile. It ain't pretty - I look awkward trying the "model pout." I just can't smize or smeyes or however you spell Tyra's made up word! :D
This is a great post!
