The Guardian has suggested an alternative version of the “selfie” called the “shefie.” In other words a portrait of the books and personal items displayed on people’s shelves—a literary shelf life, you might say. It’s just another in the seemingly endless list of self-obsessed, narcissistic images brought about smart technology—who’d a thunk sharing this stuff on social media was what the Internet was invented for?

The Guardian are currently accepting pictures and videos of people’s shelf lives, so if you have nothing better to do, and want to impress your pals by submitting a pic of all those heavy-weight literary tomes you’ve bought but never read, or you’ve just redecorated and have some simply gorgeous furniture to die for…then hop over to The Guardian for details of where to send your portrait or video. Meanwhile, here’s what others have been posting.
 

 

 
More shelf life, after the jump…
 

 
We’ve all been there, right? You know, gettin’ ready for a funeral consumed with sorrow and... takin’ a selfie ‘cause you’re having a good hair day and WANT SOME ATTENTION.

Why should the dead get all the attention on funeral day? Pfft! They’re dead.

If you can relate to this, then you’re going to love Selfies at Funerals. And if you can’t relate, you’re going to throw up a little in your mouth.
 

 

 

 

 
Here’s a guy who paints his right hand to look like a woman’s and then proceeds to takes selfies in public as if he’s with an actual girlfriend in the photos.

I like how no one seems to pay him any mind. I’m just going to assume he does this all the time and they’re all like, “That damned ‘Fake Girlfriend Hand Guy’ is at it… again.”
 

 

 

 

 
To protect and serve the public and apparently take selfies!
