The Availability Of Vanity

Oh vain Narcissus,
If you had lived in days like this,
Would you have embraced the selfie stick?

Narcissism is alive and well in the world. I love selfie sticks. Everytime I see one I smile or just break into laughter. I am as vain as the next person or so I thought, but after seeing all the selfie's, I am not too vain at all. Thanks for a great write. Fun piece and very modern.

Dear Legion,

This made me laugh. I can see the smirk on your face. This is so clever and an apt comment on who we are. As said by Puck in "A Mid-Sumer's Night Dream": "Lord, what fools these mortals be!" It seems that vanity is as available as ever and will not go out of style anytime soon.

Thanks for the amusing read.
