Selfie: Hey…Look at Me!

Your Selfie: 

I’m So Glad You Posted One Today,

We Almost Forgot What You Looked Like

Listen, I’m all good with self-expression and your right to love you like no one could love you but some of you, are out of control. LOL. 

For those of you not familiar with what a “selfie” is..let me show you…

Puppy Selfie

Oh wait, not that one… I meant this one…

Silly Selfie

 

Oh My…

From Wikipedia:

A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking

We all have them on our Facebook. Family and Friends who love showing us their travels in the car, their visits to the bathroom….

Friends and Family:  You Know Who You Are

Finger Pointing Selfie

Speaking of which, if you are in the car, I sure hope you are not driving!

The ones in the bathroom are my favorite. Never in a million years would any of us just 5 years ago think taking your picture in the bathroom would be the TOTAL “IN” THING to do! The more you can show the toilet or the sink, the more “street cred” and “Selfie Points” you get!

Bathroom selfie silly

If I wasn’t a PG-13 type blog, I’d go to town on those insisting on doing really, really stupid stuff in their “selfies”. I’d even share a few of the ones that crack me up. First, most are Sooooo Not Sexy. Second, You are Soooo going to regret those one day. Unless of course you are a politician, then you just get more votes.

Taking selfies are so popular, many celebrities are doing it…

Speaking of naked and celebrity, even Geraldo Rivera got in the act

“Too sexy for those under 70”

The “Biebs” loves taking his, especially when he can take off his clothes.

Justin Beiber Selfie

Did you hope I would have picked a naked one?  LOL

Speaking of no clothes, Kim Kardashian made this one famous!

“Look at my Baby got Back”!

And you know you have hit it big time when even Meryl Streep and Hilary Clinton are getting into it.

Overheard: “I’m so posting this on my Facebook Page”… “Me too”

 

So yes, “selfies” are here to stay. Stay in our language, stay in your Facebook feed and stay in our phones.  🙂

So, just for you, I’m giving you one I took of myself…

Im ready for easter

I’m all ready for Easter! 

Sorry folks,  I forgot to go in the bathroom to take the picture. Drats!

So what do you think of selfies? Are you one of those folks that love to post “selfies”

 

~~~till we laugh again~~~

Why I like the Golden Globes

Did you watch the Golden Globes last night? Sure the people that win probably aren’t always the ones you think should (The Artist??? – Bridemaids was robbed!)

 

But the reason I love watching them isn’t always for the winners/losers. It is by far the funniest awards show on TV each season.

 

First off, Ricky Gervais is one funny fellow. His sarcastic wit and ability to poke fun at others is top notched. Sure you may find his jokes a little crass at times (poor Jodie Foster) , but they are still funny. And if you don’t laugh, then you are just wound too tight. Take it for what they are — Jokes…

 

Second off, the way they pick on each other is great. You get to see some of the inside friendships and the sharp barbs they shoot at each other (Brad & George / Morgan & Helen). The best part is, everyone seems to have thick skin. Some may not laugh, but they expect it due to the nature of the show. And if they don’t laugh all night, maybe they should have stayed home.

 

Finally, the open bar and heavy drinking makes for some interesting, if not awkward moments (yes, I’m talking to you Meryl Streep). I’m not a fan of getting wasted but it sure does cause these folks to loosen up a bit and say stuff they might not normally say.

 

So, while other shows seem a little more uptight or real nerve wracking for some, this one just makes me laugh from beginning to end. Even the speeches are usually funny. Sometimes due to the words they speak and sometimes due to how the joke isn’t working or both. (Modern Family, I’m not sure how many people got it – but it was funny)

 

If you have never watched them before, I’m sure YouTube has some highlights, but for sure next year TiVo it like I do. I promise you will laugh at least once or twice.
