'Famous' people, like Windy in Auchterarder, are putting make-up on before taking their selfies.

I don't really get the no make-up thing. How does not wearing make-up (or wearing it) raise consciousness about cancer? I suppose it's just an attention-seeking gimmick and if it raises funds for cancer charities....

So now, when you see a woman without make-up or a man with, you think "cancer" and "give money."

Charity fund-raising gets weirder and weirder.

Apparently lots of people are posting their pictures but not donating any money. But I suppose it's raising awareness still. I have never taken a 'selfie.'

Apparently a picture of yourself without make up is to be posted to raise money and awareness of cancer. I think you are expected to nominate others to do the same and these are to donate monies to the cause. I have decided to post infograms for kidney cancer and prostate cancer instead. My visage would scare anyone.

May have missed this if someone has commented then I apologise. What do others think of the Facebook/Twitter 'no make up selfie' thing that has gone viral.
