Vain amateur models taking 'sexy' snaps of themselves in the mirror has become a cultural phenomenon.
These awkward examples showcase some of some of the world's most embarrassing self-taken shots.
The pouting pictures and self-conscious poses reveal how not to take a flattering self-portrait.
But these subjects appear to be quite happy for their ridiculous photos to be seen by an astonished public.
One picture shows a young man in sunglasses seductively pouring maple syrup over his naked torso.
Nudity is something of a theme, with other shots - rather lacking in glamour - showing people covering their modesty with just their hands, hair or a bizarre prop.
In one, an American football fan holds a ball over his private parts, another chooses a bonsai tree while in another a large man squeezes himself into a tiny mankini. A topless Star Wars fan even hides his identity under a Stormtrooper helmet.
The pictures have all been submitted to getoutofthemirror.com by users of the site and others were discovered on social media and dating sites.
