Selena Gomez Had Something to Say About the “Pretty” Snapchat Filters

Even with Facebook and Instagram creating their versions, Snapchat is the pioneer and the best when it comes to face filters. Almost all celebrities are using this app, including Selena Gomez.

The singer recently pointed out in a Snapchat video that many of the “pretty” filters turn the user’s eyes blue, and when you use the “funny” ones, they don’t change it at all.

Here’s what she had to say in the long-expired video: “Literally every single Snapchat filter has blue eyes,” Gomez said. “But…what if you have brown eyes? Am I supposed to have these eyes to look good?” In another clip, she tried out the enlarged-nose filter and the filter that turns your mouth into an over-sized lemon shape. “They use my brown eyes for this one,” she said about the latter. “I don’t understand; they have all the blue eyes for the [filters] that are really pretty.” Snapchat has a particular effect on society, and while it’s never wrong to play around with the app’s filters, don’t let it negatively impact your standard of beauty, and mess up your sense of self. Gomez ended her post by reminding her followers that “brown eyes are beautiful.” And she couldn’t be more right about that!

I Bing Crosbys birth name was Harry Lillis Crosby Jr. When he was seven he was so fond of the comic feature The Bingville Bugle that he would guffaw while reading it. His neighbor, Valentine Hobart, would notice young Harrys laughter and started calling him Bingo from Bingville. Over time it got shortened to Bing.
II Crosby liked to fool people with more dramatic accounts of how he got his name. For example, in an interview with Joan Blondell in 1937, he said he got it from playing Cops and Robbers. He described how he didnt care which side he was on and drew his wooden pistols and shouted Bing! Bing! Bing! And thats how he earned his nickname.
III Before the Columbo character became popular in The Chevy Mystery Show in 1960, Bing Crosby was among those considered for the role, along with Lee J. Cobb. But his tight schedule left him no room to commit to the project. What made his rejection of the role seem offhand was the fact that he thought it would interfere with his golf itinerary, rejecting it primarily for that reason.
IV Crosby took advantage of technology as soon as new devices became available, making him the first multimedia star. He proposed that radio networks should let him do pre-recorded programs instead of having to do a number of live shows to cater to listeners from different time zones. This gave him time to perfect his shows, but it also allowed him to spend more time playing his beloved golf.
V Crosby went to Gonzaga University to study Law. To support himself while pursuing his studies, he worked on the side for attorney Col. Charles S. Albert and performed for a local dance band too. He realized that he was earning as much from his musical pursuits as he was from being an assistant lawyer, and so decided to quit in his third year of college to focus on his musical career instead.
VI The American singers love for golf started when he started working as a caddy at the age of 12. His passion for the game was deferred for a while during his teen years but returned in full force in 1930 during the filming of The King of Jazz. He was skilled enough to take part in the US and British Amateur Championships. Crosby was even awarded the Bob Jones Award in 1978.
