Selfies: a global phenomenon.

Selfie is an internet term for "self-portrait", used to describe self-taken digital photos.

It is unclear where the term "selfie" began, but we know that it was used on the social-networking site MySpace and it was submitted to Urban Dictionary in 2005.

The most common types are:

• No makeup selfie: it is a selfie in which the subject is shown without wearing any cosmetics;

• Selfies at funerals: it is a single topic blog that curates a series of selfies of people taken while attending a funeral service;

• Belfies: Butt Selfie, or sometimes belfies, is a type of selfie in which the photographer takes self-portraits of their backside.

• The pet selfie: a selfie taken with a pet.

• The car selfie: a selfie taken in the car. 

• The duck faces selfies: I think that it doesn't make people prettier. It makes people look stupid and desperate.
