Finally! We want to know what Snap chats from women really mean and Holly Carpenter will tell us
Carpenter used to be an art student – but then she won Miss Ireland ( casually ) in 2011 so she decided to model full time
She says, ” I feel like as a model people may assume that I take myself very seriously and I don’t have a sense of humor! That’s the reason I love having a blog ”
Carpenter got the idea for this post on a girls night out ( she was drunk )
She always heard comments like ” I’m gonna story this selfie so he knows I’m out tonight and I’m looking well! ” or ” I sent him a picture of my drink with the cocktail menu in the background so he knows where we are! ” Carpenter found these tactics very funny and was really surprised when her post got viral around the world: ” When I saw how many shares it was getting and how many people were tagging their friends, I knew it was relatable! ” But she admits that sometimes her own snaps have a double meaningÂ
” If I’m having a good hair day and my makeup looks nice ill find any random excuse to send a snap to someone I fancy, like pick up a random coffee mug and write ” mmm coffee ” even though the mug is empty ” Carpenter think men are not that tactical as women with their snaps
” They definitely use Snapchat to impress girls, with selfies in the gym or showing off something they have cooked , a guy recently sent me a photo of his sunburn on his arm saying ” farmers’s tan ” but of course he was completely flexing his muscles and that’s what he wanted me to look at “
She explains this image as ” If you like her and she sends you something like this…be sound and do not screen shot! Once you break the screenshot trust there’s no going back…But if she snaps you when she’s drunk it is a good sign!”
Her next project would be to write about the impact social media has on the dating scene
” It has its upsides, but I worry about how we might prejudge each other and make out mind up about what kind of person someone is after a quick creep on their Facebook or Instagram”
She makes solid points, You can follow her on Instagram or Twitter
