The photo was high exposure, brightening out nearly all of her features. Her eyes were heavily makeuped and were Photoshopped to add a deeper blue. The shot was taken from above, ensuring that the face was captured from the most flattering angle.
“Such a bad picture of me! Lol!” read the caption.
This was the most recent Facebook photo upload of 19-year-old Carrie Larimer. Out of the 534 profile pictures she has collected, she insists that this one is the most hideous.
“I don’t even know why I put it on Facebook,” she said. “I’m just not photogenic at all, you know?”
Several of Larimer’s friends immediately posted kind comments to the photo.
“You’re sooooooo gorgeous,” said one commenter, Larimer’s best friend Stacie Goldern.
“I don’t know why you think this picture is so bad, it’s beautiful,” said another from Vincent White.
Not everyone was so consoling, however.
“Hannah, you do this all the time. Stop fishing for compliments. Knock it off,” said one “friend,” Greg Ferguson. “Please stop tagging me on these.”
“I just wanted to express how I personally feel about myself,” said Larimer. “I wasn’t expecting anything out of my friends, even all the ones I tagged.”
“Guys, I’m totally not looking to be called pretty,” she later commented. “I don’t even know what you’re talking about!”
Following that update, Larimer said she plans on taking a new profile picture “probably tomorrow.”
