Breaking the Big nose Taboos ‘Side Profile Selfie’


Breaking the Big nose Taboos ‘Side Profile Selfie’

 by: Rachelyn Pabines


The new campaign ‘Side Profile Selfie’ movement gone viral on social media after a freelance journalist and author Radhika Sanghani posted a side profile picture of herself on her twitter account showing off her big nose.

She posted it on Tuesday, February 20, 8:20am. On her post, she was encouraging people to love their noses no matter what the sizes of it, breaking the beauty taboos.

She started her new campaign after she posted on her twitter saying ‘Breaking the big nose taboo with my new campaign on the #sideprofileselfie!! Let’s stop hating our noses for not being tiny, little snubs and learn to love them by sharing a #sideprofileselfie’

                                      

Her #SideProfileSelfie movement challenges people especially women who have insecurities to their noses to embrace and be proud of it. She wants them to feel beautiful and not unattractive despite of not having a perfect snub little ski-slope of a nose.

“I grew up thinking that you can’t be beautiful unless you have a snub little ski-slope of a nose, like Kate Middleton or Mila Kunis, -- and I know other women have too. There just aren’t enough larger-nosed ladies with stereotypically ‘hot’ roles in movies or ad campaigns to make us think an aquiline profile can be pretty.” She writes on Grazia

Radhika’s #SideProfileSelfie movement’s post goes viral on twitter and some people especially women quickly response to her, posting their own side profile selfie showing their noses by accepting the challenge and by loving it naturally.

One of the twitter user Holly Henderson captioned her side profile selfie with,

                                        

Another one, Breewhan shared her side profile selfie saying

                                   

 

And another woman Simran Kular bravely tweet her insecurities about it                       

                                     

 

People are now talking about this, loving how Radhika’s #SideProfileSelfie movement would break down the big nose taboo. Her campaign is reminding people to learn how to appreciate and to feel confident to their noses. People are happily joining her campaign and supporting it by posting their #SideProfileSelfie challenge that will help everyone to overcome their insecurities and shatter beauty standards by loving what they have.

    Interesting story but it was a little hard to read because of the weird format.

    Also, the headline was a little confusing. I didn't get it right away.

    Write a more interesting lede.

by: Maricris Guerrero In the Philippines where Roman Catholics make up 81 percent of the po pulation, it is no surprise that Filipinos have numerous traditional events during Holy Week.  In the early days, these traditions and practices where done for reflection of their sins and the sacrifice Jesus Christ has made.
