When I made my list of vanities I asked if there was anything else. The selfie certainly does make the list. Almost, it heads the list. Very good write. Congratulations, Kim.

wow Kim this really is a twist on modern day vanity and the title is absolutely superb! I have never taken a selfie my phone is very basic just for calls and texts that is all I need and I hate my photo being taken anyway :-) Hugs Jan xx
