If you have sisters that are anything like mine, they think money grows on trees, are not too kind to their parents, and despise any music that isn't played on the radio.
They're also very pretty. And they love to look at pictures of themselves. Immediately after every picture (or if we're lucky, after all the pictures are taken), they will take the camera, look at each picture and zoom in on their face and judge themselves ("yeah, that one is ugly" "we need to take another one, I look like crap"). Never mind if someone else is blinking or not looking in the picture; if they look good, the picture is given the stamp of approval. Sometimes it feels like they take pictures just to reinforce their beautiful appearance.
My sister has countless Photoshopped-to-the-max Facebook albums of her and her friends doing various poses. Maybe I should get her that new camera built for selfers for her fast-approaching birthday (http://reviews.photographyreview.com/files/2009/08/tl225_front.jpg)
I long for the days when teenage girls rarely owned cameras, and if they did it was a disposable 35mm version, in which they couldn't see what they looked like (and hence didn't do stupid poses 100 times over).
