The Latest, Greatest Social Media Trend (Plus a Link-up)

It’s time for Ketchup With Us. Hosted by Mel and me on the 1st & 15th each month, this one is SOOOO easy!

* * * * * * * * * *

Selfies. We’ve all taken one. Or hundreds. They can showcase your whereabouts, your accomplishments or sometimes just your new haircut. Showcase being the key word. Because they’re often regarded as vane and not very community-minded, maybe it’s time for a new trend.

Enter the USIE (sometimes spelled ussie, always pronounced fussy). And we want to see yours. Need some examples?

Most famously, taken by Bradley Cooper at the 2014 Academy Awards.

 

Less famously, by my friend Mel with one of our favorite fellow writers (Linda at ElleroyWasHere.com) at last year’s BlogHer conference in Chicago.

  4. Late to the party as usual! Why are musicians always late? (But never to the buffet table.) 😉 You can use my picture on your blog anytime you want girl, I’m honored to be anywhere on this piece of real estate. What a great photo! I missed you guys SO much at BlogHer. Wasn’t the same without you and your toilet paper hats and your smiling faces and…well…there were no fake boobs in the swag bags this year. Whattup with that? Next year! I love the pic of you and Viv with your mom. You’re a fun bunch.

  5. Your photos are more fun! Thanks for sharing =) #ww

  6. My husband has become the selfie king and it makes me laugh.
