#FlamingoChallenge?

A few hundred publications on social networks and yet the Flamingo Challenge is the phenomenon we hear about everywhere right now. The reason for such a craze? Celine Dion ! The Canadian diva posted a few days ago an intriguing cliché: in pink leotard powdered and opaque tights, on stage, balanced on one leg and an arm in the air, she adopts the pose of the flamingo. A singular pose that contrasts with the serious air of the diva. Far from playing the pitfalls, Celine Dion pays tribute to her husband René , who died of cancer of the throat in January 2016, but also to his father Adhémar and his brother Daniel, who died recently. As a photo legend, Celine Dion urges Internet users to emulate and post photos with the #flamingochallenge to support cancer research. With more than 86,000 likes , this new challenge has in any case found an ambassador of choice in the person of Celine Dion.
