What is "challenge accepted" ?

[shatteredglass]

So why are women posting black and white selfies of themselves and challenging others to do so? Are they bored? Probably? To much sun? Drunk on that KoOmBAchA

According to Taylor Lorenz of the New York Times "These photographs are often posed and filtered, taken from flattering angles and accompanied by benign captions about “supporting women.”

“Love this simple way to lift each other up. #challengeaccepted. Thank you for nominating me @vanessabryant,” the model Cindy Crawford posted on Monday along with a black-and-white photo of herself strolling on a beach that looks ripped from a Calvin Klein advertisement.

The premise of the “challenge accepted” trend is that these photos promote female empowerment, and that nominating friends to take part in the campaign is a way for women to support each other.
