Selfies

Awww the selfie. Don't lie. Whether it's taking a picture of your new outfit, prom dress, or drunken duck face, we've all done it. Origination: MySpace. Back in the day when it was hot to take serious mirror pics; emphasizing boobs, booty and killer abs. No, today the mirror selfie is nearly extinct (guys - take note - it's pretty douchey to only have pics of your abs). Thanks to Instagram, the modern day selfie is artsy, creative, and generally makes anyone look decent. Nothing can boost your self confidence more than seeing 20+ likes on Instagram or take it away faster than a selfie. Conceited? Yeah kind of. BUT if you're gonna selfie (ya...I just made it a verb) you rock that selfie and own it.

So, in honor of the word becoming a part of the Oxford dictionary (what is this world coming to?!)  I've decided to share some of my legendary selfies. Enjoy.

There ya go. Some are slightly embarrassing. But hey, if you're gonna selfie and share, you better own that selfie. Let haters hate. Do what makes you feel good. And hey - Van Gogh selfied too. 

P.S. Ya - I made selfie a verb.
