With Some Selfies, the Uglier the Better

• Summary:

People nowadays use to take photos of themselves with ugly faces. "Selfie" was the word of the year 2013 in the Oxford Dictionary. There are selfies sent from space and from under water, and 91% of teenagers use to share them. But there's still the reputation of every single person: the sexy selfie has become a virtual rite of passage, they spend hours trying to take a photo. 

"The ugly selfie is a king of playful slice of authenticity in an age where everything seems airbrushed to perfection." Thats maybe the currency of communication for a new generation what people understand as an emotive selfie.

• Opinion:

I'm on Snapchat and I have to say that all this you've read here is true. Most of the people takes photos of themselves, with an ugly face, if they have to send it to a known person, for example, you friend. But, ep!! It changes when you have to send a photo to a boy... a boy maybe you're interested in!! So then you try to take your best face, smiling and with a beautiful sight.
