A lot of influencers will take a careful photo of themselves looking attractive and then share that with people.
It's cool, because it allows them to reveal vulnerabilities about themselves in a way that they get to control.
So, in one way, it's an unusual new form of branding, but, ultimately, it's part of rich tradition of crafting and passing on personal artifacts that capture who we think we are at a given moment.

Just scrawl it on my forearm in Sharpie and drop me into the sea.
dogzilla@hotdogsladies Huh. Saw this for the first time in a mall movie theater soon after it opened, right after turning 16.

THey're all interesting, but I like The Final Cut.
