The Mirror Selfie

Let me start by saying I am aware how silly these next few paragraphs will seem. However, I am completely impressed by the way people take great mirror selfies. Selfies, i got that down no problem. Please see below…

I just can not figure out to stand in front of a mirror, snap a picture, and like what I see. Sometimes I look ok in pictures and sometimes better then ok. Sometimes I look like a hobbit, or my hands are doing something weird, I don’t know why. Some people just know how to stand and just look beautiful all the time. After a few practice sessions of my own, I enlist my beautiful associate to help me. I was very careful about who I asked, as my standards are high. If I’m going to learn, it had to be from the best. This particular human takes such beautiful pictures ALWAYS! Me, not so much. Ok so I drag her into the bathroom and tell her not to laugh but I need help. She giggles grabs the phone and tells me it’s all about the angles…

Here she is, looking like a beauty and me looking like a troll of some sort. Clearly, it’s all about the angles. I’m convinced that because I am a vertically challenged human I will never achieve the correct angles. We spend some time in there and I come up with this…

Notice the lovely toilet in the background. Super classy. Ok back to work I go feeling defeated. Oh well. Try again another day and I produce this…

Not terrible…I can tell you in the past 3 weeks this is the best out of about 80. Let me digress for a moment. My need for knowing how to do this has reason beyond explanation but when I want to learn something new, nothing stops me. I will continue my quest…convinced maybe this is the wrong mirror for me. Well finally a few weeks later i come up with this one…

Different mirror, looks ok. Feeling somewhat accomplished I have figured out it’s not about the angles completely but I’m gonna keep trying xo
