Nothing's Wrong Except Everything: I Got Questions

Couple things I just keep wondering about. This shit is recurring and annoying as fuck. I just want answers brah.

1. You're not a model, artist, stylist, photographer etc. You have no occupation anywhere within the entertainment industry. So explain to me why you keep doing photoshoots. Why you taking up valuable photographer time, space and resources to have pictures taken of you? Photoshoots serve a few purposes, but the main purpose is for promotion. To add to a photographer or model's portfolio, to use the photos on websites, to promote an event or to be used in various media venues. By default your photo is used in the photographer' portfolio, but if those pics serve no personal purpose why y'all keep wasting time? Instagram? Really hoe?

2. Why does everyone's child have their own instagram page? Granted, this really only applies to a few people. Many folks are trying to get their children into modeling, or their mother(most often) is a stylist and takes the opportunity to showcase their abilities with their own child. In those instances, the page is justified. But some of y'all ain't even got cute or well-dressed kids and still got 369 pics of your kid being basic. Get it together.

3. Why dudes always taking pics of their outfits laid out on the bed for instagram? I LOVE a well dressed man, perhaps more than the average chick, and I can certainly appreciate a dude who knows how to put himself together. Nearly every weekend though, before the party, these dudes take to their closets and very strategically lay their clothes out to show instagram what they're wearing that night. I'm not calling these dudes homo but the pics be real frankie brah. Take a mirror pic, or a waist down photo like the cool cats do. Face it, the outfit ain't even that special. You got on a damn tee shirt, a designer belt an some Jordans. If your whole point was "Hey, look! My J's match my t shirt," we got the point. Now chill out and give the shit a rest.

.... These are rhetorical.
