National Selfie Day

Thanks to social media and the smartphone, June 21st recognizes a form of self-portrait that wouldn't exist without them; it's National Selfie Day. We're encouraged to take creative (appropriate) selfies and post them on social media.

Although the act of taking a selfie predates social media, smartphones, and the Oxford Dictionary, the popularity of taking these self-portraits continues to rise. And taking them gets more convenient all the time. Selfie sticks and multi-functional camera phones make it all too convenient to photograph these kinds of photographs as well as group selfies (aka groupies).

Selfies have become so common that the most common types of selfies are earning names for themselves. The bulk of them are about capturing a moment in time, though some are limited to a snapshot. After all, they are called "selfies." They usually feature a single individual, and that's the person taking the picture. However, not all of them are about the photographer. A few of them are worth checking out, and we've compiled a list of them that are worth checking out.

Duck face selfie

The subject sticks out their lips almost as if planning an exaggerated kiss, but it turns into a duckbill instead. Hence, the duck face.

Car selfies

There are channels with videocasts embedded from the seat of one's vehicle on social media. They're educational, helpful, political, and amusing. So, it shouldn't surprise us that car selfies are a thing.

Bathroom selfies

Where do we look our best? We're at our best in the bathroom before the wind and strain of life hit us.

Pet selfies

Who do we love the most? We've got to our life partners, so who do we love the most? Our dogs. Our cats, dogs, lizards, parrots, and many more animals are taken on Instagram.

Bestie selfie

Our besties can compete with dogs for our affection. It depends on the individual. We take a lot of selfies with our besties, right?

Foodie selfies

Why do we take selfies with food? It may be that it's so beautifully presented or it's our first time trying an exotic dish, and we want to capture the event. Foodie selfies are a thing, no matter what the reason.

Glamour selfie

We're usually doing really well, especially after the bathroom selfie. Good hair day. The makeup is flawless, and you're dressed to impress. For those of us, the opportunity will not come around again if you didn't get all dressed up to take a selfie (or did you?). It's best to have some proof.

Gym selfie

Speaking of looking our best, a gym selfie is often all that is needed to show progress. "I haven't seen a gym selfie lately," one of our friends says. Is your slacking?" Are you slacking?"

Celebrity selfie

If you're on the train, in a coffee shop, or just on the street and see your favorite musician, writer, or television celebrity, you're going to stop and ask for a selfie. These famous little selfies are making the rounds.

Travel selfies

The Eiffel Tower in Eiffel Tower. The Grand Canyon or the Hollywood sign. The Broadway lights are on full throttle. Selfies in front of these majestic destinations add to a traveler's collection. They're similar to postcards to yourself.

Baby selfies

Baby selfies usually make us look good, whether they're with your children, grandchildren, or other people's children. We can't help but smile. We can safely position them in front of our weak spots. And they just improve our overall character.

Tattoo selfie

It's a big decision to get some ink. Whether you're getting it or later is part of the process, taking a selfie either while getting it or later is part of the process.
