Dumb and Dumber-Inspired Photo Shoot For Dates

Two Palm Springs natives, goofballs and friends of the site Giancarlo Valdes and Mike Barthen, had a
very dumb photo shoot over the weekend with a twist to help them find dates via dating apps.

Inspired by the iconic and beloved comedy "Dumb and Dumber," Giancarlo and Mike captured their zany and lovable personalities by dressing in the orange and blue tuxedos from the film and taking photos around the beautiful Coachella Valley. With a group of friends in tow, serving as photographer’s assistants in matching shirts to show them their support. These two are determined to stand out in the world of online dating, and what better way than with a touch of humor and a nod to a beloved 90’s classic?

It is beyond funny. I heard from the shoot, many thought they had just gotten married.

One of picturesque locations included Sunnylands, think The Getty Center, but much smaller.

One of the pair, Giancarlo, is featured in the Netflix documentary, Biggest Heist Ever. A documentary about the biggest bitcoin heist ever. Giancarlo attended the wedding and was a college friend of the notorious Heather "Razzlekhan" Morgan.
 
Here's some more photos from their shoot.
