Pinterest - Epic Fails

I won't lie - I really, really like Pinterest.

I can't say that it has reached the realms of love, probably because I don't spend as much time on it as I could (something that will undoubtedly not really be remedied in the near future - too many other things to do that get in the way of discovering new things to do... all in all, probably a good thing).

I did come across an article the other day on a site called BuzzFeed Shift. How I got to it, I have no clue - too many things have happened between when I saw it and now for me to remember a little detail like that.

Anyway, the article, which in truth was a collection of 17 pictures, touches on what happens to so many of us when we try to copy some perfect thing that someone posted on facebook - a.k.a. utter failure.

(Seriously, there are a ton of over-the-top cute hairstyles that I would love to try, but there is no way that I will because I know that an hour later my hair will look nothing like the picture and I will be ready to break Pinterest across my leg in frustration.)

These were some of my favorites from the article:

#17 - The Hair Whip (wonder how many times it took to get that shot. It was probably more like The Neck Whiplash...)






17 Hilarious Pinterest Fails--funny! 

#6 - Marbled Nails (I want to know if they did this themselves this perfect on both hands...I could maybe do it on my left, since I'm right handed, but I doubt my right hand would look that perfect.)

Marbled Nails 

#2 - String Art Balloons - (This could happen with almost any art project. All I know is that my toothpick bridge never looked like the ones you saw in museums!)

String Art Balloons 

These were just a few of the ones that were posted in the article. I bet there are a bunch more that one could find on Pinterest if the time was spent to look for them (which I don't have).

So how about you? any Pinterest fails?

Here's the full article, if you want to see all 17 pictures --> 17 Pinterest Fails

Oh, almost forgot the absolutely best part of the whole article.
