Asteroids, Selfies and Friendster, Tuesday's Hashtag Holiday Calendar Has It All

Weatherman Jerry Steffen brought another round of Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz to the Coachella Valley this morning, and Tuesday's lineup was a mash up of nostalgia, fashion and outer space.The day kicked off with a nod to Social Media Day, which marks the anniversary of Friendster's launch back in 2002, a full year before Myspace and two years before Facebook came along. It was a fun reminder of just how far social media has come since those early days.Next up was National Outfit of the Day Day, a holiday created by former Vanderpump Rules star Stassi Schroeder as a way to celebrate self expression through personal style. It's the perfect excuse to share what you're wearing and have a little fun with your wardrobe.But the real star of the show was International Asteroid Day. The United Nations designated this day to raise awareness about the hazards of asteroid impacts, and the date isn't random.
