What is the questions?
Hi, I'm Stacy, and I am Australian, and my question is, do I like taking selfies?
Sometimes I often take them with my husband. If we're out somewhere and we're on a holiday or we're somewhere special, or maybe with my daughter, let's take a family selfie just to kind of capture the moment.
I'm not big for taking selfies all the time everywhere I am. I like to be in the moment. I also feel a bit self-conscious doing it if there's lots of people around as well, but I'm very happy to do it if I am by myself somewhere and it's a really beautiful spot, or I just feel like, oh, the line's quite nice. Now let's just take a little selfie and just for fun.
But I don't do it a lot. I do it sometimes if I feel it's right in the moment.
