Pixtr - "Putting Your Best Face Forward"

In a world where taking pictures of one's surroundings, encounters, meals, and even the humorous "selfies" is considered normal, being highly self conscious of one's self image and the dream of being photogenic is amongst the biggest complaints. By posting and sharing photos on multiple social media platforms, one continues to make remarks regarding their physical appearance that is seen in a photo. The statement, "Oh my gosh! I look so bad in this picture! You can't possibly post this!" is universally stated across countries, languages, and cultures alike.

The introduction of this new mobile app will only make this case stronger.

Introducing, PIXTR! An all new mobile app available for Iphone and Android users. This app promises to "put your best face forward." What that means is that upon taking a picture and using Pixtr, you are able to automatically clean yourself up to look like a magazine Photoshop artist. This app allows you to thin your nose, tweak your eyes, re-shape your face, and even erase any wrinkles, blemishes, or freckles that you may have on your face. And it's not only for selfies, but for group photos as well.

Pixtr pushes the idea of "putting your best face forward," but is your "best" face your "real" face?

Psy Has Done It Again!

We all know of the South Korean dance and K-pop phenomenon, Psy, who is internationally known for his popular music video/song, Gangnam Style. This song and wacky dance went viral and took over the world in 2012 with its interesting and catchy tunes and crazy dance style. This craze took on many diferent forms at professional and collegiate sporting events, various cultural functions, and even on popular television shows.

After a year of this craziness, Psy has come out with yet another, just as fun and even more wacky, music video/song -- Gentleman. Like its prequel, the Gentleman's music video showcases a very crazy and easy to follow dance move that stands as the icon of the song. Also, similar to Gangnam Style, Gentleman is mainly sung in Korean with a few English phrases for Psy's international audience to follow.

To view Psy's sequal to his hit song Gangnam Style, you can view Gentleman at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASO_zypdnsQ

Question -- What do you think of Psy's latest single? Will it surpass the likes of Gangnam Style?
