The Fancy Ginger and Snapchat......

Good evening fancy people.  I just came home from a night out eating sushi (third time this week..thank you very much) and viewing the movie "Gone Girl."  Before you ask, no, I did not read the book first.  I know, I know...I broke THE rule. Regardless, it was an excellent movie in my opinion.  But you guys, it was SOOOOOOOOOOO INTENSE.  I had anxiety the whole time I was watching it.  *Deep Breath* I was having a moment.  Anyways, let's begin tonight's blog....

I downloaded Snapchat to my phone a looooonnnng time ago, but never used the app-until recently.  Honestly, I didn't know how it worked.  What's the point of taking a picture, sending it to someone, and having it disappear--how ridiculous?!?! And really, what is so exciting about my life that I need to "snapchat-it" to someone?  Well, I caved...because my sister demanded (I might be exaggerating) I use it, so that we can "snapchat" each other.

At first I thought, 'hey this is pretty fun.'  We were sending hilarious selfies to each other.  I can totes do this.  I can keep up with this new-fangled app.  I am not old.  I am still cool.  People want to see what I have to snapchat.  And when I say people, I mean my sister.

Those were all of the positive thoughts I had -until last night, when my sister, the social butterfly that she is (love you Elizabeth), sent me a million snapchats in a row.  They just kept coming, one right after another....some were even videos.  I couldn't keep up.  I didn't even try.

Seriously, how can I compete with that? I spend my Friday nights at home watching HGTV, while my lovely sister is out being fancy, dressing like a zombie and roller skating in Brooklyn.  I felt defeated and very un-fancy, which is simply unacceptable.  No app should ever make you feel that way.  But, then I thought 'tomato, toMAHto.' I lead a fancy life.  HGTV is fancy. Listening to *NSYNC is fancy.    Having a Christmas tree up all year round is fancy.  I AM A FANCY GINGER!

Snapchat, you have not defeated me.  I WILL conquer you....and it will all be FANCY.

Sooooo.....next time on the Fancy Ginger blog I will either be discussing how fancy Y-town is becoming or it will be my Birchbox/Boxycharm un-boxing blog.  Thank you for reading.  If there is a topic you would like me to sprinkle with fancy-ness, let me know and I will write about it in my blog.

Cheers!
