Something I've thought about is how little control we may have over how we are portrayed online. For example, any time you are out socializing with friends, there is a possibility photos will be taken of you and posted online. On facebook, your friends can tag you in a photo, then that photo becomes part of your collection of photos. I was never really concerned about cameo photos being taken of me before, but now I always have to be prepared for photos of me to show up online, whether I like that or not. I have always been a bit obsessed with lip products, but now, more than ever, I make sure I have my lipstick/lipgloss on at all times. You never know when you'll end up online.
