A Girl Of 12 Reportedly Falls To Death After Taking Selfie At A 17 Stories
According to the BBC, a 12-year-old Russian girl, solely identified as Oksana B, fell to her death after taking a picture of herself sitting on the railing of a seventeenth-story balcony. She allegedly sent the photo to a friend right before falling.
The news organization reports Oksana’s friend noticed the picture was taken from a “risky location” and sent it to the girl’s mother after Oksana didn’t answer her texts, but by that time, the person who allegedly first spotted Oksana’s body on the ground below the building had called the police. Oksana reportedly had told her mother she was going to take a walk when she went up to the balcony.
Police have not confirmed Oksana was taking a selfie before she died or that taking the picture was what caused her to lose her balance and fall to her death, but the BBC reports the alleged photo has not yet been released.
The Kim Kardashian Complete Guide to Taking Those Perfect Selfies
Earlier this summer when I "met" Kim Kardashian—I use this term loosely because it was amidst chaos—I was struck by many things about her, including *just* how flawless her skin looked up close and how calm, cool, and collected she stayed amidst utter disarray. But perhaps what impressed me most of all was her selfie game...
Whether reporters were hurling questions at her or she was being bum-rushed by throngs of fans, Kim could, at a millisecond's notice, drop everything and take the most impressively perfect selfie (solo or with a fan) I'd ever seen. I witnessed it firsthand, and I've got the selfie-on-the-fly to prove it.
But let's be real, you don't need to take my word for it. It's practically common knowledge that she's the Queen of Selfie Snaps. And whether you like it or not, there's a selfie-obsessed culture, so might as well put your best face forward, no?
Here, I'm decoding the science of the Kim K selfie/collecting all her tips in one place so you too can get all the likes:
MAKE SURE THE LIGHT IS "AMAZING"
"You want to blow out everything that you don't want to see and highlight the things you want," she once explained in a T-Mobile commercial.
You probably already know that fluorescent lights are the enemy, and while there's no bigger ego-booster than the glow of golden hour before sunset, it's important to know how to counteract unflattering lowlight. One trick is to hold a white napkin or paper towel near your face to neutralize the flash of your camera when you're taking a selfie. (It really works).
CHIN DOWN, CAMERA UP
Kardashian has said in countless interviews that when it comes to finding her best angles for a selfie, it's all about 1) Keeping her chin down and 2) Holding the camera up a bit higher than face level, which ensures her features appear more streamlined.
WERK THE DUCKFACE
"I love it because it gives you cheekbones—though it does make people mad," Kardashian warns of the pouty pose.
For a more subtle approach, you might want to borrow the Olsens' trick for a pared-down duck face: whispering the word "prune."
CROP TO PERFECTION
A weird underarm situation or a shirt that's hanging weird? Just crop it out!
DOWNLOAD HER GO-TO EDITING APP
Thanks to a source at Us Weekly, it's now known that Kardashian uses a *free* Instagram app called Perfect 365, which dubs itself a virtual makeup app. The app allows you to color-correct your complexion, smooth over blemishes, add rouge to your cheeks, and even extend your lashes. But be careful, lest you tread into John Mayer territory.
GET A DIGITAL CAMERA
During her masterclass with makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic, Kardashian revealed that she uses a digital camera for some of her selfies. "This is how it makes all of [my] pictures so flawless," she explained.
While according to her, the camera is discontinued, I'm currently on the hunt for its make and model. In the meantime, I recommend nabbing a wifi-enabled camera that will let you post straight to Instagram.

Has Kim Kardashian Gone Mad With Selfie in Mexico? Unbelievable!
North and Saint's ~sexxxy~ mama stayed for four days at Joe Francis' house in the Mexican resort town of Punta Mita last month, and during that time she took over 6,000 selfies. Which, honestly, is not at all shocking. Like, if you told me that she took 100 selfies, I'd be like, "SHUT YOUR MOUTH! Don't you EVER talk about KiKi like that again!"
The 35-year-old mogul shared this info on Kendall Jenner's app (Always Be Cross-Promoting Your Sisters!) in a post titled, "Kim-Digits: The Breakdown Of My Mexico Vacation."
Here are some other fun facts: She spent four hours on the beach playing with her kids in nine different bikinis whilst drinking 10 watermelon smoothies. So fun! And I mean it! That very same week I went to the DMV two times and spent three hours crying into my pillow. So Kim's definitely winning this race!
She also twerked in a pool, although we don't know how many times. Let's just say 50?
I'm never not vacationing with Kim Kardashian ever again.
