Lessons in Duckface
Unless you are a 14-year-old girl, or Lana Del Ray, you might not have a real comprehension of duckface yet.
Basically, it’s when a chick tries to look serious in a photo, but worries that she doesn’t look hot enough, so she does this weird thing with her lips to make her cheekbones jut out and make her lips look gross and puffy. It’s kind of the watered-down version of blow-job lips.
Anyways, A-Balls hadn’t heard about duckface yet, and we were trying to explain it to her at dinner, which is actually surprisingly hard when you don’t actually have a photo of someone doing duckface. This spiraled into a series of duckface attempts, and an insatiable desire to ensure that she mastered the art of duckface.
Here is the progression of our grasshopper as she blossoms into a beautiful adult duckface.
Attempt #1
Instruction: “You have to like, push your lips together and be all serious”
Aidan’s Interpretation: ”Depressed girl in the corner.”
Attempt #2
Instruction: “Don’t look sad! Try to look like you’re all pouty”
Aidan’s Interpretation: “Blowing on the reed of an invisible clarinet”
Attempt #3
Instruction: “Push your lips all far out! You know, like a stupid 14-year old girl.”
Aidan’s Interpretation: “TEXTBOOK DUCKFACE!!!!”
Please see below for an analysis of Aidan’s duckface:
Truly, she has become a duckface master, surpassing even her teachers’ abilities in duckfacery.
Self-hating, dog-loving and cheese-eating in Toronto. 
A-Balls. LULZ!
Exquisite example of “Vacant Eye” is brilliant.
I would say A-Balls is beyond “Duckface” here and almost full-on “Trout-pout”. Minus the collagen lip injection, of course.
That duck face is MEGA! She’s a quick study.
aka the Keira Knightley ~ “like, I’m like…all that” kwizically sucking on her tongue look…my DD does it perfectly…as does Aidan…can you breathe like that?
i feel that next time, i should me more clear about saying “ack!! you must delete those pictures immediately!”
(as for my quick learning… all those hours of ANTM did me well)
