Stand still and smile! Snap! Soon someone will bring you a little statue. It looks just like you! Could this be the family portrait of the future?Not too many years ago, people used to go to the mall to get their photos snapped. They don’t need to do that anymore. Digital cameras and smartphones do it for them! But now something has people going back to the studio: the 3-D selfie statue.The typical selfie statue is printed in full color using gypsum powder. It's glued together by color ink. The statues range from three to eight inches tall. Right now there are only a few stores that make selfie statues. But more and more will probably start.At Easter time, people can even get a box with six small chocolates—that look just like them. Hmm…imagine someone eating a tiny chocolate version of yourself. Is that cool, or just plain creepy?
