Featured on “Awkward Family Photos”!
This is amazing if you ask me. Awkward Family Photos puts weird or/and funny family photos online, but none that I know of have been a picture of a daughter and a father dressing up as each other.
But now, there is! Although, I’d call this an AWESOME family photo actually. 🙂
Spontaneously wonderful
On December 26th last year, I came up with an idea. “Why not do a masquerade EVERY DAY during 2014?”. 45 minutes after that, I had a project name, the 365masquerades.com domain, this Instagram account, the Facebook page and this very first “teaser pic” of previous random characters I did. I am… Well, I am spontaneous, simple as that. Hah. I had no idea how the project would turn out, if I was gonna make it, if anyone would follow, what it would take. And it’s been fantastic so far. All thanks to you all. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Now let’s do the last FIVE DAYS together. ❤️ / Gisela
Day 360
Ah, there she is. Mona Lisa.
Bonus stuff!
Today’s photo shoot may be the craziest one yet. I had to take a photo of the setting!
The background is clothes, scarves, silk paper and other stuff needled onto a towel.
ONLY 5 DAYS TO GO.

New one on third place
Yesterday’s masquerade, where me and my dad changed into each other, made it to the top three of most liked pics on Instagram with lightning speed. So happy about that picture!
So, here’s the new top three:
However, on Facebook, the same picture is the most liked one yet.
