Hot Stuff

My little sister has become a teenager.....No she hasn't gone on her first date...She has begun to take selfys.

What is it about selfys that is so popular? They are awkward for all involved, especially if they end up on the internet.

Lets start from the viewers perspective. It feels like you are walking in on someone going to the bathroom. You are entering what seems to be a very private moment. Its weird to think about what people do by themselves. its even more weird to see it. To think they probably locked themselves in their bedroom for an hour to do that is beyond mortifying.

So you're the one snapping away. First of all the angles you have to work with are not flattering. Above your head and you get those dark circles under your eyes and the emo shot. In front of the mirror and you get the toilet in the background. There is no way around getting a bad picture.
Then to top it off you make faces to the camera that you would NEVER make if someone was taking the picture. (probably why you are taking a selfy) You try to do some sexy kiss me face and you look more like you ate a sour lemon then a victorias secret model.

Add in any boob, heavy makeup, or skanky clothes and you've just entered another realm.

Whats funny is we have all taken them. And im sure we all regret most of them.

Here are the only acceptable selfys-

You are by yourself at the grand canyon or any other interesting place, snap away.

Selfys with friends or lovers. Thats just cute. Its easy going, i dont need a perfect picture cuteness.

Smiling, funny face (for the purpose of facebook or what have you) A picture you could show your grandma.

  1. lol -- jaren is SO against the "myspace pix" that we are not allowed to even take them when it's just the two of us somewhere. so instead we have to set the camera up just right and set a timer. you will probably NEVER find a "myspace pic" of us lol
