Self Promotional Charity - Part 2 (WakeUpCall)

hi ME AGAIN,

So we have yet another charity awareness social campaign designed for female narcissists. This time it's taking a selfie the moment you wake up and then posting it online with the hastag #WakeUpCall. So far it's mainly celebrities taking part, however I'm sure this will spread quicker than ebola and you'll soon see suspiciously flawlesss pics of that Facebook friend you know full well is a right munter.



Jemima Kahn started the trend that asks people to post a selfie and then donate $8 to child right's charity, UNICEF. The selfies aim to serve as a "wake up call" that alerts people of the child refugees in Syria. Nice idea, ruined by vanity.

Wish I woke up with a naturally filtered face like Paris',.....

Generally, I believe you can never do a non-self-gratifying wake up selfie for two reasons:

1. Either your photo will be contrived and designed to show everyone how "amazing" you look when you wake up, boosting your ego. OR
2. It will be a genuine photo of your wake up face, but yet one you are still happy with enough to post it into cyber space to show people how comfortable you are with your appearance, ergo boosting your ego.


Ruffled hair! She totally must have just woken up

Again, like I acknowledged in my previous post, if people are actually donating and raising money for a good cause then you can't really attack the campaign. I suppose my point is that it's a shame that the only way of raising money is appealing to people's vanity. We already have a wide range of social media platforms whereby you can show everyone what an amazing life you have, so do we really need more excuses to parade ourselves before people who don't really give a shit? It's just encouraging a future generation of narcissists, obsessed with their personal adequacy! (Dramatic of me but true)

Never wanting to end on a deep or depressing note, here is one of my favourite #WakeUpCall selfies. Men can make it funny, girls make it shit.
