Here at ELLE HQ, we love a good selfie. So much so, weve even gone and installed a photo booth in our office (it has a wind machine, FYI).
It seems were not the only ones who love a good self-portrait, as the term selfie has just been announced as the Oxford English Dictionarys word of the year.
Defined by the OED as a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically with a smartphone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website, the words use has increased by 17,000% in the past year, according to research. (We like to think ELLE has contributed to at least 15,000% of that rise.)
Now, if youll excuse us, were off to go throw some shapes in the #ELLEphotobooth stay tuned for the results
