You know those Instagram accounts you follow that only post thirst traps with inspirational quotes and have "Part-time model | Aspiring actor | Gym Enthusiast" in their bios? Well, the LA Basics has perfectly parodied the most basic of our beloved Insta-gays with a self-obsessed Ken doll, and it is hysterically accurate.

Good morning Instafam! (Fingers crossed my gym crush likes this post ) #riseandgrind #modellife
