Anatomy of a Kissy Face
Wednesday, January 21, 2009 at 12:47AM 
It used to mean kisses (giving and/or receiving).
Then it became Ben Stiller's joke.
Then it became everyone's joke.
Then a weird thing happened.
It stopped being a joke.
It became real.
Celebrities made it more popular.
This influenced teenagers to do it. Recreationally at first. Then, compulsively.
Then it spread to even younger children. Some were born with it.
It even infected certain wildlife.
The pandemic became visible in all channels of media.
Coastal females evolved to use Kissy Face as a camouflage in large numbers.
Coastal males developed their own feminine Kissy Face tendencies to confuse their attackers.
Some female tribes began to worship Kissy idols.
Sometimes there are false positives; this man is merely chewing food.
In time, overuse renders the Kissy Face permanent, requiring surgical correction.

somewhere there exists a picture of me RED LIPS and all making a kissy face. I thought of that convo and hung my head in shame.
this is hilarious.
This made my day
Kissy face no longer means "Kiss me", it now means "I'M A DOUCHEBAG" no matter what gender, species or color you are.
when is this going to stop. it makes me embarrassed to be white.
why do people LOVE the kissy face? ...Funny, yes. Hot ...only on Marilyn.
I call it the "Buttlipz Kissyface" syndrome. I hate it, I think it makes girls look somewhat retarded.
This is absolutely hysterical! I hope you don't mind, but I'm going to post a link to your blof on my Facebook group site "Stop making a kissey face in all of your pics! You look rediculous, not sexy!"
I wonder if the girl in the teal necklace realizes she's the image that pops up when someone types in "kissy face." There she is, peace sign and kissy face, staring right at you from the Google Image results. Poor girl.
