I'm not being funny but...

... you know those comps where you have to take a photo of yourself in an unusual/interesting/creative way? Like the White Company one that says "take a selfie of your feet!" (err...yay) or the ones that ask you to submit a photo of yourself in...brace yourself... 'summer mode'


I sometimes...sorta think... dudes, if I had photos like that, I wouldn't be entering this competition to win a trip to an interesting place!! :D


Seriously, I know they're supposed to be all creative outputs and yada-yada, but honestly the only places my feet have been lately are London trains and under my desk... ;)


And while I'm in moan mode... I despair at my pants wins so far this month!!

    A work colleague saw an innocent pic of my feet and then divulged his secret foot fetish via text message.. so no won't be sending pics of my body parts off to a comp...

    I think it's a bit weird/annoying all round these selfie/photo comps - I imagine a load of 20 something office workers having a good laugh at the entries.

    The most I've ever sent pic wise is of a hoover, the rest I avoid like the plague..

    I don't mind photo competitions, although I don't tend to do selfie ones, but the thought of loads of pictures of peoples manky feet is grim and makes me feel a bit ill

    I hate the idea of taking pictures and appearing in front of a camera

    if there was a comp for 'take a selfie with the most miserable and hacked off face you can muster' i'll enter

    I have an awful selfie of me looking surprised about something which was very embarrassing, especially as someone at work noticed it on my phone... and I did the feet one in flipflops (my BF has a bit of a foot fetish so I'm past caring what people do/think when they see my feet LOL).

    The shame...
