Keep scrolling to see Johnny Cotton’s NFT Collection featuring old Instagram posts. Stare at the photos long enough and you’ll see an object that was around before the Internet. Of course, you’d have to have BEEN around before the Internet in order to spot it! ๐๐๐๐
What’s Old is New Again
On August 10, 2019, Johnny decided to revisit one of his old stomping grounds, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. Believe me when I tell you, he had a MUCH better time that night than when he worked there 14 years prior! ๐ธ๐ธ๐ธ
What’s Old is New Again (Reverse)
Back in 2019, Johnny knew absolutely NOTHING about getting the same shot, but reverse. Apparently, there’s this app called Flip Image, and what a wonder it is! ๐คฉ๐คฉ
What’s Old is New Again (3)
This is one of the few shots that Johnny could’ve put in either the “Nocturnal” or the “Relic” Collections. At least we don’t have to worry about getting a REVERSE angle, right? ๐๐๐ธ๐ธ
Two Sides of the Same Coin
Not really sure if this should go in “Johnny Nocturnal” or “Spot the Relic”, but it works! ๐๐๐๐
Too Dark, Yet Still Handsome!
Seriously Johnny, get a ring light! You almost look African. Not that there’s anything wrong with that! ๐๐๐ธ๐ธ
Before Thang Was Born
On August 25, 2019, Johnny posted a selfie that he took a year earlier when he went out with some friends for a birthday lunch. ๐คฉ๐คฉ๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฝ๏ธ
Before Thang Was Born (2)
Funny thang about “Before Thang Was Born” was that Johnny didn’t know what a TRIPOD was, so shots like these had to be taken by his friends. I remember my friend asking me in this shot, “Do you want me to get ALL of you?” ๐๐๐
Vendange for the Win!
Remember that shot outside of Trejo’s Cantina in Hollywood under “Spot the Relic?” This is a side shot. Love the Vendange box in the corner, huh! ๐๐๐ธ๐ธ
Vendange for the Win! (Reverse)
On this particular night, Johnny was tripping because it had been so long since he had worn this skirt that he forgot it didn’t have a DRAWSTRING! ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐๐
Club Blowing Up On a Sunday!
Going back to that night at the W Hotel on Nov. 19, 2019, Johnny was tripping because his jersey made his stomach look too big. Of course, it could have been the STOMACH that made his stomach look too big! ๐๐๐
Before the You-Know-What Hit the Fan!
On January 16, 2020, Johnny posted about going to see ‘fam up in Portland. This was a stop at Seattle-Tacoma airport.
Once the You-Know-What Hit the Fan!
On August 28, 2020, Johnny posted a random selfie at Dunsmore Park in Glendale, CA. I won’t tell you exactly what the You-Know-What is, but if you look at the date and the mask, you’ll know!
After the You-Know-What Hit the Fan!
(Sitting)
By now, you should already have figured out what the You-Know-What is. In case you need a reminder, this was August 28, 2020 at Dunsmore Park in Glendale, CA.
Last Bit About the You-Know-What Hitting the Fan!
Last angle of the shots taken at Dunsmore Park in Glendale, CA on August 28, 2020. If you couldn’t figure it out by now, the You-Know-What hitting the fan is the COVID-19 Pandemic! ๐ฑ๐ฑ๐ฑ
The Not-That-Old Man and the Sea!
On September 14, 2020, Johnny posted on Instagram about a weekend staycation he had with friends in Hermosa Beach. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
The Not-That-Old Man and the Sea! (2)
Continuing with that September 14, 2020 post about Hermosa Beach, this is a standing shot of Johnny. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ
Before Johnny Learned to Consolidate His Posts
Sticking with that same weekend of September 14, 2020, Johnny posted another selfie on Instagram, this time from the Redondo Beach Marina. Despite the title, I’m not sure if it even SHOULD have been consolidated with the previous post, since it was a separate day and location? โตโต๐๐
Thanged Up at Target
On February 22, 2021, Johnny posted on Instagram after a FIVE MONTH absence: A time that saw him welcome back an unwanted house guest as well as fail at starting a voiceover career, yet again. ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ๐๐
Thanged Up at Target (Reverse)
Going back to that Feb. 22, 2021 post, apparently Johnny didn’t know how to FLIP IMAGES yet. But now he does! ๐ก๐ก๐ธ๐ธ
St. Patty’s Day on Palms
On March 17, 2021, Johnny shot some selfies on the corner of Palms and Mentone before meeting his friend. If you can’t figure it out, it was St. Patrick’s Day! โ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ก๐ก
Just Practicing at Target in Burbank, CA
This shot actually didn’t make it into any social media apps. Johnny was just practicing his poses. ๐๐๐ธ๐ธ
