About a year ago, Australian fitness instructor Mel V went viral online after posting this mind-blowing selfie:
Yes, those pictures were taken within minutes of each other. Mel posted the photo to point out that when you see a super-fit bikini selfie on Instagram, that person probably does not look that ripped in everyday life; she probably just knows how to pose. Mel wrote that she took these steps to go from normal to looking like a fitness model instantly:
1. Ditched the phone wallet 'cause that shit is lame.
2. Changed into black bikini bottoms that are a size larger than the red ones.
3. Rubbed on a fake tan.
4. Clipped in hair extensions and wore her hair down.
5. Stood up taller with her shoulders back and sucked in her stomach.
6. Stood with her legs a bit wider apart and popped her hip.
7. Chicken. Wing.
8. Smiled.
9. Zoomed out farther.
10. Added a filter and upped the contrast of the photo.
She went on to write: "What's my point? Don't be deceived by what you see in magazines & on Instagram. You never see the dozens of other pics they took that wernt as flattering. Photoshop can make a pig look hotter then Beyonce."
