What makes a good selfie? Well, for one, it’s an actual selfie–not just some picture of yourself that someone else took. That’s right, if you’re not holding the camera and aren’t taking a picture of yourSELF, it isn’t a selfie.
Now that we’ve cleared that up, what makes a selfie good? A good selfie is so many things. Some feature celebrites, some have animals, and some are lucky enough to have celebrity animals (shout out to Grumpy Cat). Beyond that, they all have one thing in common and that’s an indescribable quality that makes them impossible to forget. If you want to know what a good selfie is, just take a look at the ones below. If you don’t think they’re good, it’s probably because you think they’re great.
