A Selfie or a self portrait photograph is now the new
social media term to present one’s vanity. This entails a lot of quality time
with the handy dandy camera. This is very much applicable to both men and women
alike. So what are Selfies? These are pictures (a lot of pictures) taken of oneself while
capturing every angle while holding the camera at arm’s length. This act
is usually carried out by girls, however men tend to do this aswell they’re
just focusing mainly on their muscle tone.
