Sleevefacing

Have you ever heard of sleevefacing? Apparently it started in Cardiff last year and is now a worldwide phenomenon with dedicated pages on Facebook and YouTube, with a book due to be published later in the year. So what is it?

If I said that sleevefacing was the art of holding a record sleeve photo in front of your face and taking a photo, that probably wouldn't sound very impressive. However, look at some of the results...







Amazing stuff. I can't wait for the book.

I knew nothing about sleevefacing until I read this item which is tucked away on the BBC News website. There is something touching about people going to so much effort over this essentially pointless activity. And they do it so well.

Yes but it is utterly pointless...
