Anyone else trying this? Practicing with my 6 Plus and looking ridiculous… The creator (Karen X. Cheng) is an ex-Microsoft employee; it’s good to see her enjoying an iPhone.

When will the selfie die

It won't. The "selfie" is the product of a highly narcissistic society who would prefer to live in their carefully staged Instagram photos rather than reality.

(Yeah I know, dick post :p)

I'm a woman, and I approve this message.

Nothing wrong with taking pictures of yourself, nothing wrong with being artistic with the way you do them. Taking pictures of yourself 200 times a day, yeah, that's a problem.

Live life through your eyes and not through the screen of your phone.

Never. It's gone on as long as cheap cameras/camera phones have existed and it'll never die.

I don’t get people who are anti-selfie, do you just not like people feeling good about themselves, wanting to affirm that they feel and look good and show off their current look? That must be a real miserable existence.

Sorry to bump this back up, but today I saw a Beats commercial in which people were doing this.

I thought that it was her (the creator)! And I had tried to paste the URL in my post, but for the forum post sheet thing does not want to work that well on mobile.
