Side-Eye Chloe

You’ve already sent out the Side-Eye Chloe meme with a friend if you’re good with gifs and videos. It’s the ideal response to something that doesn’t float your boat or inform anyone that they’re acting out of character. It takes a lot to please Chloe, which is why she became a social media sensation. She responded flatly when her parents told her that she would be going to Disneyland. Chloe and her sister now have their own Instagram account as they continue to start their careers.
