Someone named Kyra on Twitter posted a screenshot of herself on the show “Toddlers and Tiaras.” In fact, it’s a family photo, complete with her mom and sister.
Kyra was a pageant contestant, but she was in her teens when the cameras found her. The picture she posted shows the entire family looking a little upset – apparently because someone else on the show had been spreading some mean rumors about Kyra. The world of pageantry is a brutal one. Kyra doesn’t seem to find it very destructive anymore, now that the time of the show (and her childhood) has passed. Still, hurt feelings are never fun.
Yeah, Remember Her?
We all remember the “smash” “hit” “song” that was “Friday” by Rebecca Black. Maybe you heard it being played ironically, maybe you were one of the people that had it so ingrained you couldn't stop singing it, even though you knew it wasn't the best thing to sing.
Black might have gotten some real fame that has now faded, but her friends in the car only got a little bit. Though given the quality of the song and how many people piled on Black for what she had created, maybe this young lady is perfectly happy not to be famous.
Fame, Glory, and Failure
Back in the early years of the twenty-teens, there was a show called “MADE,” that focused on teens who wanted to push themselves to be better at a chosen subject. One woman's cheerleading squad got featured on the show.
During the show, she fell on the mat. But this fame isn't the best – the woman got kicked off the squad in the middle of the episode. Here's a reminder, kids: fame isn't always a good thing. Hopefully “Stevi,” who posted the response, has found success elsewhere.
Caught in the Act
When one Tom Bucka was attending a college basketball game, he had the thought to send a selfie to some friends. Unfortunately for him, the cameras from ESPN Sportscenter were pointed right at him as he did a little bit of preening and posing.
With his hair swooped back, his shirt unbuttoned, and his belly hanging out, we're going to go out on a limb and say that Tom wasn't thrilled this moment was caught on camera. But, he only has himself to blame, since he was doing it in a public place with the intention of sharing the picture. Hair's on point, though.
An American Became the Face of Russian Resistance
1991 was a year of many things. One of those things was a coup that happened in Moscow. Deborah Copaken, a photojournalist based in Moscow, was a big part of the proceedings, but not the way she had intended.
At only five-two, Deborah had a hard time getting the angles she needed to capture all the excitement. So, she climbed a tank to get a better view. The driver of the tank didn't appreciate Deborah doing so and tried to push her off. Somebody happened to take a picture of the interaction, and that's how Deborah – an American – became the face of Russian resistance the very next day.
