Back in 2017, Paris Hilton decided to stake her claim in the history of inventions by claiming she invented the selfie. Well, fast forward to 2023 and she's at it AGAIN. It seems like Paris Hilton is doing whatever it takes to rehab her image and make a comeback on the pop culture scene. Ugh, I know. She can't seem to take a hint that she's about as relevant these days as fax machine. Because the 42 year old Queen of Valtrex can't seem to take a hint and just go away, she went on Twitter to make the outlandish claim - again -  that SHE, along with Britney Spears, invented the selfie. She posted this on Twitter:

"17 years ago, Britney and I created the selfie! Tag me with your most epic selfies to celebrate the most iconic invention".

Um, no. First of, I can think of thousands of other things that have been invented throughout human history that are way more iconic and important than a damn selfie. How about the invention of the telegraph? electricity? combustible engine? vaccines? printing press? I can go on and on. But we are talking about Paris Hilton whose knowledge about anything beyond a tube of lip gloss wouldn't fit in a shot glass.  

Selfies are nothing more than a person taking their own photo. If this shit for brains would bother to read anything besides party invites, she would know this. Robert Cornelius, a Philadelphia photographer is by all historical accounts the first person to have taken a self portrait. He did this in 1839 when he was 30 years old. Since then, the idea of a  person taking their own photo is neither new nor an "iconic invention" as Paris Hilton claims.

Since Paris asked social media to tag her with epic selfies, here's what I would share. Feel free to express your own feelings.  Maybe this time she'll finally take a hint that the world has moved on from her bullshit.

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

  Here we are: the shortest day of the year, the longest night. Nature is slowly but surely continuing its cycle of rebirth and we will see brighter days ahead. It's the perfect time to reflect on the past year and consider what kind of light you'd like to bring into your life. A time of hope and renewal. I wish you all a happy Solstice!

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With Barbara Cartland!

Are you off work yet? Are you ready to throw a swingin' party? That means making party music mixes, right? And, yes, you must throw in a WTF song in the middle of the mix just to mess with everyone. For example, say you're throwing a New Years Eve party with a bunch of cooler-than-cool jazz or house music tracks; in the middle if it, throw in this song . I guarantee everyone will squeal with delight. In fact, throwing that song into any mix is always a good move.  Want more ideas for WTF songs to drop into your mixes? DJ Li'l Scratch has got you covered. But first, let's pause for a moment. This is important. Why? Because this is the definition of beauty: The face: like a pale, English Cream Custard (which is just a bit overcooked). The jewelry: made from the finest diamonelles money can buy. The eyes: with their exquisite baby tarantula eyelashes (the eye shadow is their after-birth). I'm overcome, I can barely breathe. And, no, this is not RichBitch. She is, of c...
