Did you get my best side?

This is a little creepy.

Someone has overlaid a number of photos of a Brazilian teenager at her birthday party, aligning them so that the position of her head is the same in each image.  Viewing them as a rapid animation* reveals that her expression doesn't even slightly change from photo to photo; her rictus grin and 'deer-in-the-headlights' stare are constant.

BoingBoing has the source images, diminishing (but not eliminating) one's suspicion that it's a Photoshop hoax.
