No 64

There's a trend, at least here, at least in the tabloid-y magazines, to write a piece about someone's misfortunes or print someone's letter to the editor, and either ask for and get, or else plain just lift, a profile pic of said person from their social media accounts. So there's a heap of "articles" out there about serious or at least not frivolous subjects illustrated by selfies taken before a night of clubbing. Today I spotted the headline "As dog owners we can't take responsability for your child's behaviour", illustrated by a sultry, dark-lipped pout. I'm so ready for this "trend" to be over.
