You can take my iPhone but you'll never take my sense of humor: Woman lampoons selfies uploaded by the moustachioed-hairball who stole her handset
- Danielle Bruckman misplaced her iPhone last New Year's Eve
- Photos taken on the lost iPhone continue to be synced on her Cloud
- She has recreated the selfies taken by the man who has the phone now
- Her Tumblr page she has called her project 'My Cloud Pal'
When most people have their phone stolen, they get angry before moving on.
But for Danielle Bruckman, she decided to get even.
The woman, from San Francisco, has recreated a number of selfies taken by an eccentric moustachioed man who now has her misplaced phone.
Ms Bruckman created this hilarious parody after she lost her phone last New Year's Eve but discovered that pictures taken with it were still being synced to her Cloud backup system. The mystery man has uploaded some 250 photographs, almost all of them selfies.
In what has become perhaps an obsessive hobby, she has recreated the man’s 'killer moustache,' donning a fake moustache and chest hair, and replicating the poses and places for her ‘My Cloud Pal’ Tumblr page.

Calling it ‘one woman’s journey through another man’s selfies,’ she wrote: ‘On January 1, 2013 my phone escaped me and somehow fell into the hands of a man with a killer mustache.
‘Thanks to Apple and some kinks in the cloud, I receive all of his pictures in my photo stream.
‘Here are his selfies as re-enacted by yours truly.’

According to BuzzFeed.com, she said: ‘He somehow grew on me and I actually enjoy getting his updates and see it as a window to peer into his daily life.
‘In a way, it's a selfie diary of sorts and now I can paint a more full picture of this man's life.’
The Cloud glitch has given Ms Bruckman access to many of the man’s contacts, where he works and the fact that he went on a diet this year.

She said: 'Props buddy. From the selfies we know he totally lost weight.'
She has also created various selfie-replicas of Hollywood actor James Franco which include photoshopping herself into crowd scenes and wearing a light brown moustache.
Ms Bruckman hopes her project will inspire others, putting a call out for others to send in their selfies to be featured on her site, suggesting she may even try to parody them.
Despite the popularity of the selfie trend – even earning an official definition in the Oxford Dictionary this year - the word has been vote the most annoying and overused term of 2013.

Double life: Ms Bruckman sees the glitch as an opportunity to 'peer into his life'
The annual list, created by the Lake Superior State University, is collated based on the official Banished Words Facebook page.
The term was made popular in 2013 when celebrities began posting 'selfies' on Twitter and Instagram.
Even U.S. President Barack Obama and British Prime Minister David Cameron posed for a selfie with Denmark's Prime Minister Helle Thorning Schmidt at Nelson Mandela's memorial earlier this month.
Other words that made the cut include 'twerk', 'hashtag', 'Twittersphere' and 'Obamacare’.
