Last year, Kat introduced our friend circle to an amusing photo fad called smooshing. Whereas most people aspire to look their best in photographs, smooshing is about looking as peculiar as possible. To smoosh, the photo subject must release all tension from eir face muscles. Then, the person shakes eir head back and forth furiously allowing eir lips and skin to flail wildly with the movement as the photographer captures the moment. To do it right, the person must thrust eir head so fast that it actually makes eir brain hurt, so it does require some commitment. The results are pretty hit-or-miss since it's unpredictable as to what potentially strange angle the photographer will capture, but when they're successful, they're quite entertaining:
My own documented attempts at the sport have semi-successful. I'm drawn to/frightened by the first photo since it makes me look 70 years older.
The undisputed champion of smooshing, however, has got to be Ben. How the heck does one do that to eir face?
That face looks like putty! Bravo, Ben!
