#firstdates

I didn't expect that! 📞

Just got a call from a researcher for #firstdates UK asking if I would be interested in being part of the new series.

Of course I laughed and said they are over 3 years too late... 😂

My TV dating experience is very much done and is covered in my self published book coming this year 🤞

Sometimes you think to yourself "Why can't this person get a date?" on #FirstDates but then you also get times like tonight where there are a whole lot of people you're thinking "Oh yeah, I can definitely see this person spending most of their life alone."

Catching up with the latest #FirstDates now and there's a Christian woman on who's undergone "Wife Training" to make sure she's a good wife when she finds someone to marry and lose her virginity to. The waitresses have gathered to politely discuss this as not being for them because they're being filmed but you know that what they really want to do is stage a kidnapping, enact an intervention, possibly try some deprogramming.

Stumbled upon what appears to be new #FirstDates on Channel 4. Always been a bit of a guilty pleasure for us even if it's got increasingly irritating with all the sob story backgrounds we and the potential partners need to be subjected to upon first meeting.

Continued thread

Could we explain a little more about what is going on here?

A #Moonsie is a concept and a made-for-Mastodon #hashtag for a particular kind of #photo. Analogous to a #selfie, a #Moonsie might be a #selfie, but with the #Moon in it! We can also shoot #Moonsies of our #friends, #family, #colleagues, #firstdates, #lastdates, #nextdoorneighbors & #pets -- under the watch of the Goddess of the Night.

We often see #portraits of #people OR #portraits of the #Moon. We'd like to see more of people AND the Moon! Also, #time & #location info can provide interesting #metadata on exact #MoonPhases.

Now please don't be frustrated if you have some trouble shooting one of these because of the extreme distances -- what #photogs call the depth-of-field. It's not easy to get a perfect shot. But that's OK! We will still love you and your #Moonsies, blurs & all! You can also shoot an extra one.

We will try to #boost all #photos with the #hashtag #Moonsie 🌙
