Thanks a lot gulls, I'm feeling a lot more confident now!

>whenever other people take a picture of me they yell at me to smile
>at recent meetup the photographer actually refused to take my picture until I smiled super wide and showed my crooked teeth

I try so hard to keep my mouth under control and convey emotion with my eyes but it's becoming more and more common for people taking my picture to literally refuse to press the button until I show teeth. It annoys me most when it's other lolitas doing it, because the soulless closed-mouth smile is so common with lolita models and should be more acceptable IMO. Why aren't I allowed to keep my mouth closed in pictures? Fuck off.
