The Infamous ‘I Am Bad’ Look

Michael Allen

Everywhere you go on the internet, you are going to find the infamous "I Am Bad" look. I don't know from where it came. I don't know who started it or why. But, it is getting quite ridiculous.

Of course, there are some people in this world who can pull it off quite nicely. I have a very beautiful friend, Stephanie Paul, who has a way of taking classy pictures with a hint of the "I Am Bad." There's a huge difference between her and the wannabes poking all around the internet though. It comes down to who she is and not who she's trying to be.

If you haven't yet figured out what look I'm talking about, it's easy to find. Most wannabes have at least one on their profiles in their social networks. But, one picture with the "I Am Bad" look is being quite generous. Most yahoos will have hundreds of them plastered all over their albums. They have a thousand different variations of their contorted faces trying to say, "Check me out! I am bad! Look what I can do to my face!"

Like I said, I don't know who started it or why. But, all a person has to do to try the "I Am Bad" look is push their lips to the side of their face. When you do that, you have to squeeze your lips together real hard. Now, cock your head so that you have some attitude. Finish the look off by crossing your eyes. That's not how the look was started. But, that's how exaggerated it has become because wannabes always seem to want to push things a little too far.

But when you view my friend Stephanie Paul's photos, you see a different look. She slightly tightens her lips. In some photos, it appears that she will go to the side with it. But, only softly. She doesn't push her lips all the way over by her ears. It's just enough to add character to the picture and that's all. Of course, her eyes are looking straight at you. That's the drop dead gorgeous look and it works for her. You have to have that attitude to pull it off and only a few ladies know what I even mean by that.

Of course, Stephanie Paul is just one person who can pull off the look. There are plenty of classy ladies in this world who have the right attitude. They are who they are and when they come walking in a room, they own it. They don't share that spotlight and it's not because they announce themselves. The moment announces their arrival for them. I love it!
