7. Mothmeister\r
Everyone has their own unique interests and Mothmeisters 105,000 followers show exly that. Mothmeister says theyre a taxidermy collector, a “curosity cabinet.” They post interesting and pseudo-vaudevillian photos with different taxidermy animals. Mothmeister is apparently a couple who create what they call “Wounderland” where they portray ugly masked creatures as a reion, they say, “against the dominant exhibitionism of the selfie-culture.” Their photos are available on Etsy as prints or postcards.\r

6. Pietro Boselli\r
More people would probably show up to their math class if Pietro Boselli was the teacher. The 28-year old was a mathematics lecturer at University College London and has been modelling since he was 6. In new, one of his students found out about his old modelling career, posting a picture of him online. This viral post helped reignite his modelling career and signed a contr shortly after. On instagram, he has 1.6 million followers, where you can read in his bio that he has a PhD in engineering.\r

5. Luis Fernando Candela \r
Luis Fernando Candela got his 15 minutes of fame in after he posted this picture of him hanging off a cliff by his feet while he apparently did some ab exercises. The picture was posted on November 21, leading many to believe he had performed something only daredevils had the courage to do. However, a visit to Pedra do Telegrafo revealed to many that the cliff Luis was on was just a rock that juts out about 3 feet from the ground. Since then, other instagram users have taken pictures of themselves in seemingly dangerous positions on the rock, which shows just how easy it is to fool anyone using clever camera angles.\r

4. Fashion Dads\r
Travis May and Ashley Hesseltine didnt gain instagram followers for their own fashion tastes, but rather gained 174,000 followers for the fashion sense of fathers. Their account, “fashion dads” showcases various older men whose “dad” outfits are posted online, which can be strange and illogical. The account in a way pokes fun at the fashion-oriented culture found on instagram. Every pictures comes with a quirky and sarcastic caption that follows whats commonly found on fashion accounts. Under these pictures of a dad wearing crocs and socks reads “.real fashionistas are always prepared for any weather.”\r

3. My Day With Leo\r
Joel Strong started his “My Day With Leo” account in new. On it, he takes pictures of place hes in while he holds cut-out pictures of Leonardo DiCaprio. Lately, the cut-out picture collection expanded to include other celebrities besides the Academy Award winner, like Oprah, Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, and even Bert and Ernie. Besides photos, Strong also includes short “stop motion” videos starring the cutouts of Mariah Carey and Kanye West. On his instagram, which has more than 174,000 followers, his bio reads that he is a “satirical photographer and stop-motion enthusiast.”\r

2. Baddie Winkle\r
Like Lili Hayes, Helen Van Winkle has also found fame on the social media site for dressing in a way that some might call “not her age.” But that doesnt stop this 87-year old found her alter-ego, Baddie Winkle, after she apparently tried on her great-granddaughters tie-dye t-shirt and cut-offs. She posted the picture online and her reputation sky-rocketed. She took on the alter-ego as a way to cope with losing her husband and son, to which she used to cry “all the time.” On the site, Refinery29, she said in an interview that she did not like “old womens clothes.” Her instagram bio reads, “stealing yo man since 1928.” Her account has close to 3 million followers.\r

Bread Face Girl\r
Bread Face Girl has close to 150,000 followers on instagram. For a person who isnt an ress, model, or musician and only 98 posts, thats quite a lot. What she does do, however, is gently press her face into bread. It seems strange, but shes made money doing so. She utilizes all sorts of bread. Bread Face Girl has said that she “likes the way it feels” and does the bread face videos in case anyone out there felt happy watching her. Her videos are aof her usually sitting at a table, squishing bread with her face, with a different song to soundtrack the event. The 27-year old is based in Brooklyn who works as a copywriter when shes not posting bread face videos on instagram. She desires for her identity to remain anonymous.
