I haven\'t the slightest desire to talk politics here on Fred Miranda, but I am interested in why this photo caused a firestorm. Is it a good photo? Why or why not? Clearly it stirred some emotions. Why is it so evocative?
Why? Because she looks batsh*t CRAZY, that\'s why.
It\'s all in the eyes. She has the appearance of looking slightly down her nose--upper eyelids are fully open, but lower eyelids are raised. I mean, you can actually see the full upper half of the iris, yet she\'s looking right at the camera. It\'s an intense, crazed look. That\'s not normal.
But that\'s not all. The \"smile\" is not really a smile, more like a grimace. Her mouth is simply agape. It\'s a very vacant look, sort of a cross between \"deer in the headlights\" and \"I had one too many cosmetic procedures done.\"
The overall effect is extremely unflattering, and if ANY human being were photographed with this facial expression, it would be equally disturbing.
