Maybe you need to be an old fart to appreciate the "Oooo Face"... but nevertheless, the article
Here is interesting and full of pictures. I certainly remember this look on the faces of women in advertisements back then. I always figured they were being goosed.
What would
Freud make of this?

Everytime I see a duck face, I get the urge to fix it the way Elmer Fudd does Daffy.

You beat me to it.
A photographer friend was telling me that when he shoots senior portraits, the biggest challenge is getting the girls to do anything other than the duck face.

You've nailed it! If women only realized how stupid that expression makes them look... and why!

Tough way to make a living... photographing old ladies doing the duckface!

Popsicles?
Drinking a thick shake from a straw?
Sucking a golf ball thru a garden hose?
