  • Take 50. One is bound to be good.

    That's how I roll! Except it's more like 99. :grumble:

    QFT


    Also, I use someone else's face.

    Came across this, which cracks me up but I also, sadly agree with. This is the generation of the selfie, that's for sure.

    Bro Tip: Never rush a selfie.

    Just remember, there's not a single thing you can do to create good lighting, you have to find it. But you won't ever find it. It will find you, because it's light. And when it finds you, you will know it. And when you know it, you take a selfie.

    Steps for perfect swelfie:

    Step 1: Inhale, flex your abs and hold your breath
    Step 2: Flex your lat into your non phone hand. This will make you appear wider and your arm appear bigger
    Step 3: Commence open hand flex of the arm. The absence of a first will achieve that natural, "I swear I'm not flexing" look.
    Step 4: Bring the phone up in a slow hammer curl motion. Initiate arm flex.
    Step 4...Step 5: Engage chest muscles. Maintain all other muscles in flex position.
    Step 6: Activate hard face. Look concerned. Think RoboCop. Stare at the phone, never in the mirror.
    Step 7: Frame up the shot, steady the phone, and prepare for art.

    Selfies just seem so depressing to me. Like you don't have a friend to take a picture of (or with) you?


    I hate people and my cat doesn't have opposable thumbs

    This^^^

    Unless you are taking nudes or something, but then again, that's just depressing that you wouldn't have someone to take them for or with you even then eh?

    Not so depressing! Some of us are usually the ones taking the pics, or we don't have shots from our friends phones/camera available. If my husband wants nude pics, he can take them himself, so I really don't need to be alone for that either :)

    Seems as though your friend is only interested in your *kitten*.

    I will. I'm sure she'll be blushing and grinning like a dork.

    I don't have friends and I don't look as much as an oaf when in pics by myself. What's your point?

    I read an interesting article on selfies yesterday. The term is so overused that people are referring to ANY picture as a selfie. It even happens on the news. People really are brainless. There are adults calling photos that you would take of your dog a "selfie." How dumb do you have to be?

    LOL did you happen to see john olivers piece on that?

    Yesss so great!

    And you absolutely MUST be in the universal photo booths.
    Bathroom for the younger set, car for the older ones. It's an unwritten rule.

    My 14 year old and I were just talking about this. I told her honey please for the love of all that is holy, don't take selfies in your bathroom. We have a lovely home and a nice yard can't you pick a better place?

    Also, I am blessed with ridiculous long limbs. So my "monkey arms" are coveted for "groupies" with friends.
