I can't seem to get one that I like. Angle, focus, stupid facial expressions.... I need to come to the realization that the type of picture isn't what I find objectionable, it's the subject.

But irregardless..... tips for taking one? I put one up today, but I see it doesn't help to be wearing dark clothes.

Welcome!

    Step one - Flush the toilet
    Step two - Wash hands
    Step three - Leave the bathroom and find a better selfie location

    Get out of the bathroom and learn how to use the timer on your cellphone camera.

    I find if I make my face look very emotional and look at the mirror like it's someone I'm trying to avoid, magic happens...

    Also, "irregardless" is not a word, regardless of what you may think.
  • Its better to use that three way angled mirror near the changing room at Kmart. That way you get all angles in one shot, and maybe even an infinity pic if you are lucky.

    lmao.... get out of the bathroom... download a free camera timer and take selfies in much more appropriate llocations...
  • I'm no stranger to the selfie, but I find it very hard to get a good face shot. I feel like an idiot smiling at myself in the mirror. I stick with shots of the butt. lol

    HATER! A thousand years from now, anthropologists and historians will have such a wealth of research material to study from the bathroom selfie genre. Do it--for (social) SCIENCE!!!! It's for the good of humanity.

    Don't wear clothes from K-Mart if you want to look good in a selfie or otherwise.

    Study 1: Why did most of Earth's population of humans REALLY die out?
    Conclusion: Inhaling toxic bathroom fumes due to the selfie.

    It's true. Taking a bathroom selfie makes archaeologists of the future VERY wealthy.

    I, for one, make sure the mirror is crusted with toothpaste spit, all my beauty supplies are piled on the counter, throw in some birth control pills and Valtrex on there for good measure, too. And be very sure that if the toilet's in the shot, that the seat is up, unflushed and dirty, and the toilet paper roll is empty. Bonus if there's a tampon wrapper (or tampon) on the top of an overfilled waste bin. Desperation and lack of dignity is so HOT! Shows how "down" I am, lol!

    Yeah, it's best you do. My boy's sobriety is fragile right now.
