All by my selfie! Blogger shows how to take travel photos with an imaginary girlfriend/ Arlesia McGowan Period 4



     


"I'm always taking pictures with wigs, so I stock a lot of wigs at my place," says Keisuke. "Recently I started calling them 'my girlfriend.'"Aww!:Just like real PDA couples, Keisuke says the first rule for single travelers who want to take "hitori date" photos is "don't be shy."Ohhh:

        This is probably the weirdest one yet, but it is a current event, so there. Japanese blogger Keisuke Jinushi started the "Hitori date" (one man date) blog two years ago. Heard of something like this? Not me! Apparently, the "Hitori date" shows how to take photos with a make believe girlfriend. Keisuke, a 28 year old freelance writer and photographer has gained Internet fame with a set of curious Instagram photos with his so called "girlfriend". The images depicted a young lady feeding Keisuke and even wiping ketchup off his face. The twist? "she" was Keisuke. All the pictures were single-handedly shot by Keisuke with no girlfriend or anyone else involved. Why he did this? Keisuke was tired of going on vacations and seeing couples all the time kissing and being loving, so he, being single, decided to make his own imaginary girlfriend. The moral of the story? He says to not be ashamed of being single, but don't be afraid of messing around! So avoid feeling lonely, don't keep yourself cooped up in the house all the time.:)
      I thought this was quite a spin on events. Never had I heard of anything like this and this is definitely very creative, but who really has the time for this? Even after all this work, Keisuke still doesn't have a girlfriend, although people thought this was really cute and his Grandmother thought this was quite "pathetic". LOL. In the meantime, hopefully he will be able to find a girl just for him so he doesn't have to keep entertaining himself with this wig and imaginary pictures, but its still cute. So I guess if your still single by the age of 30, this is what you do. Create an imaginary counterpart!;)

  3. This is too great. Thanks for writing something outside of the norm! I agree with him too, being single can be fun (and can also be made into a funny joke)!
