Duck Face

Since we are cautious about copyright laws here at jibtv, I can only direct you to follow a link to what I am going to be talking about today:ahiru-kuchi (the pursed lips of a person, usually a girl, impersonating a duck).

Pursed duck-like lips are a favorite of models in Japan. I guess because it's cute. And their lips are often pursed anyways to talk in that modern complain-laden way of talking that is also popular these days (I think it's called tongata-kuchi in Japanese, or pouty-mouth). I thought the duck face was a Japanese phenomenon, but I discovered antiduckface.com/ just a few minutes ago that gives me the impression that I am behind the times.

To remedy that, I made my own ahiru-kuchi image. I threw in a few purikura tricks and net slang to make it super kawaii. Am I still cool, kids?
