#spelfies…. give it time, the term will catch on!
What is a #spelfie? A Spanish selfie!
I got the idea from Living History Farms at the Iowa State Fair this year. Living History Farms had mirrors for #felfies (a farmer selfie) while in line to see the butter cow. I looked up #felfie on Twitter and apparently it’s really a thing! Farmer outfits are placed on the mirror, with blank mirror space left for the face. People then take a picture of their reflection in the outfit. This is what the #felfie station looked like:
I managed to find some pretty cheap mirrors at Menards for $5. Can’t wait to share the final product with you all!
Genius!
You can do it electronically as well with a smart phone! Also, be careful of issues with stereotypes and such.
Is there a good app for it that you recommend? Also, thank you for the reminder. I was thinking about starting with a Flamenco dancer for a girl and bullfighter outfit for a boy. Do you think those are OK? And do you have other suggestions?
I recommend Face in Hole. They could do famous Spanish painters works and avoid the stereo types. Just don’t let them do the nude art and all should go well!
Frida Kahlo would be great for the artists!
This looks like so much fun! Frida and Diego selfies would be fun! 🙂
