Social media manager Dana Herlihey took a Halloween office joke and has turned into an Instagram sensation. Last October, Herlihey and her coworkers got a plastic skeleton in the mail. Herilhey told Buzzfeed, "Someone taped a Starbucks cup to the skeleton's hand and I took the photo for my personal Instagram."
Herihey thought it would be funny for the skeleton to have her own Instagram account, so she created a profile for her, omgliterallydead. The modern day woman named Skellie, can be seen shopping, being pampered at the spa, celebrating Christmas, eating sushi dinners and watching reruns of Friends. Since autumn, Skellie has garnered almost 75,000 followers.
Heriley explained, “Some people love it, laugh, ask to take a photo, or make a witty pun as they pass by. Others will pretend there is no skeleton sitting beside me or give me frequent disapproving side glances.”
