Move over #nomakeupselfies, 'sellofies' are the bizarre new trend sweeping the internet
WE’VE ALL SEEN the ‘no make-up selfies’ that have been dominating social media in the past week and raising much-needed funds for cancer charities in the process.
Well, put the face-wipes away and get the sellotape out, because the upcoming craze in selfies are sellotape selfies, or sellofies.
JUST when you thought the selfie trend couldn’t bear the brunt of another off-shoot, along comes 21-year-old Brighton student Lizzie Durley.
She started the new online craze having taken inspiration from Jim Carrey’s character in ‘Yes Man’, according to the Daily Mail.
The craze was quick to take off, with 50,000 liking the Sellotape Selfie Facebook page in 24 hours. The page now has almost 125,000 likes, with hundreds proudly displaying their distorted faces online. While the #nomakeupselfie is raising cash for charity, there’s no clear aim in mind for sellofies. However, UK brain cancer charity Braintrust is encouraging donations when photos are shared.
SO. Let’s have a look at some of these charmers.
