The Selfie.. A word that has only become relevant or even have a meaning in the last couple of years. 2014 seems to be the year of the selfie- it started with some celebrities and then ended up making millions for charity and now you even see pets 'taking selfies'.
I want to know what people think of the selfie and I want to see some selfies that are brilliant, ones that are going to make me laugh out loud. I know that they can get a bad rep, causeing some people to think they are just about being vain, don't get me wrong, in some cases they are but they are just a bit of fun in my opinion.
I myself, have fallen victim to the craze, but I don't just take a selfie when I'm feeling vain, I love to take a silly one and send them to friends to cheer them up or just have a laugh about. Snapchat is an app, which promotes the selfie! You can have a real laugh sending back and forth funny shots to your friends/family.
Recently, a lot of money was raised for a cancer charity. People posted on social media a no make-up selfie and this seemed to get mixed reactions from people, which caused me to have a small Facebook rant (something I never do!). I get that taking a selfie is not the best method to do something good and raise money.. But it worked, so who cares. It got people talking and thinking about cancer and 24hours in, it had raised over £1,000,000- how can anyone moan About that- the charity certainly weren't, the went online to thank everyone for the support and aid people to continue, staff members were even posting theirs up!
We have to except that in the era that we live in, a selfie is something that's extremely popular and if that's going to make money, then so be it!
I'll share a few of my selfies to shed light on the funny and enjoyable side that I love in a selfie and I want to see your selfies and hear what you all think about the selfie!
Love life,
