The selfie. It’s become a part of the world’s vocabulary, likely because it’s become a huge part of our daily existence. Once deemed superficial and perhaps self-centered, the selfie has become an expected and encouraged part of sharing our lives on social media. Whether on vacation, out shopping or just at home for some solo dolo time, there’s always a moment to document the happenings of your day. And though a selfie in front of a monument of some sort, say the Millennium Park Bean or the Eiffel Tower, is really dope; nothing is quite addictive as the Bathroom Selfie.
Bathroom selfies are more common than you may think. I bet if you look through your phone right now, you’ll find a handful of Bathroom Selfie’s within seconds. Go ahead, look, right now. See? And why wouldn’t you have a collection of these considering you go to the bathroom multiple times a day, everyday. And, there are so many variations of the Bathroom Selfie, it makes sense to have a gallery of these at the ready.
First there’s the group shot, which could be with your friends OR some strangers you befriended. Because in my experience, that’s sometimes what we ladies do. Everyone poses for the pic around the sink, and boom a Bathroom Selfie, right there. Then of course you have the duo pic, with your BFF (because she likely came with for a bathroom break). You two are admiring yourselves, and the moment is ripe for a selfie, and there it is, another one. Lastly you have the solo pic, because, we’re talking about “selfies”, giving yourself that final once over before you head back to wherever, and you guessed it, selfie time! Just like that, you have three different Bathroom Selfies, which incidentally could have happened all in one night.
Going beyond variations of the Bathroom Selife, there are also the instances in which they are created. Let’s see, there’s the outfit check (if blessed with a full length mirror), you take a moment to make sure everything looks good. Each accessory is properly placed and well, you need to document this moment of excellence. Catch yourself in the mirror after a new hairdo, Bathroom Selfie time. Got your brows freshly done and feeling beautiful, capture it with a Bathroom selfie. Last, but not least, you went full Beyonce and feel completely FLAWLESS, and well, this time, you’re just taking stock of what you already know…which is YOU.ARE.KILLING.IT. Cue the Bathroom Selfie.
But, don’t just listen to me describe the intricacies of the Bathroom Selfie, take a stroll through social media feeds, and you’ll know this is more than me, one woman, claiming a thing is a thing. Women, men, and genderqueer people alike are indulging in this form of selfie in public and private bathrooms all over. Because, I mean, who can resist the urge to capture your true essence while freshening up. So, do yourself a favor, grab your phone, head to the bathroom and start snapping. Your IG followers are waiting for a fantastically or poorly lit, flawless Bathroom Selfie to double tap.
