Eons ago, a friend sent me a disturbing image from the internet inquiring if it was me and if I had done modeling before.
🚀 MY DOPPELGANGER 🤯
I have honestly never looked at a photo with such unease as the guy above on the left. I think it's been nearly 7 years or more that a distant friend of mine sent me a photo that still haunts me to this day.
The creepiest and/or funniest party of this story is that my friend is too ashamed to reveal what he was searching for on the internet that led him to discover this ginger stud. I don't generally take staged photos of me pretending to be in thought, but obviously this guy has done it before and is a professional or amateur model of some sort.
A quick reverse google image search revealed this photo has been used by heaps of websites for everything from demonstrations of a "bob cut" to "hunky ginger models." Most of the sites are fashion-related in one way or another, leading me to wonder what my super masculine manly man friend was doing on his computer that led to the discovery of this image.
The above is far from a modeling attempt on my behalf, but a photo a former girlfriend took of me in Siem Reap many years ago. I can't remember what I was thinking about, but I remember we had some heavy life decisions going on at the time. I generally discourage photos of myself, but she took this one without my awareness while I thought she was reviewing pics.
It is so strange knowing I have a slightly less handsome doppelganger out there wandering the earth making dollar dollar bills y'all 💵!! I have yet to find out my doppelganger's name, but I have put some effort into it. Maybe some of you modeling or fashion heads on Steem can tell me this guy's name.
