In winter of 2010, young people between the ages of 10 to 14 began asking YouTube if they were attractive. Although one of the initial instigators of the trend claims her video was nothing more than a dare, it is estimated between 300 to 1000 youth quickly followed suit.
Pretty / Ugly is a collection of 18 of these young women.
This video piece is part of the larger Public Profile Project, an ongoing examination of online female identities via social media.
