Cuba enters the age of the selfie
Well, that didn’t take long.
Paris Hilton last week became the latest American celebrity to visit Cuba in the new era of U.S.-Cuban relations, dropping in to Havana to attend an annual cigar festival and highlighting how quickly the Caribbean island has become chic again.
But unlike other recent big-name visitors, the Hilton Hotel heiress chronicled her trip with a slew of photos on Instagram, posing with Cuban cigars, standing against a backdrop of Old Havana, and snapping a selfie with Fidel Castro’s son, Fidel Castro Diaz-Balart. (In a sign of how dramatically things have changed, remember the kerfuffle over Jay-Z and Beyonce’s visit to the island less than two years ago?)
