Hello again and am here to share with you another craze that sparks last week.
In this crazy digital era, good presentation (and yeah including our appearance) do really matters. We followed many social media influencers/bloggers and vloggers that capture compelling stories, expertly edits their video and photos, and we are always at awe watching them.
But what if that influencer turns out to be # influenza or #fakeinfluencer?
The recent influencer scandal of this Singaporean “photographer” Daryl Aiden Yow makes me question to what extent a new breed of content creators will do to get such fame and cashing it.
etc...
Okay, after this fake influencer was busted, he deleted all his photos including those sponsored posts from various known brands such as Sony, OPPO, Uniqlo, etc., and deactivated his website portfolio.
And just retained his apology post… well that is a wise move though.
Many marketers and PR find this a wise move as well, as this lets the influencer be honest to his apology, sucked it up, and hopefully rise decently when the time is right.
On the brighter side, Daryl Aiden Yow gained massive online coverage and free PR and got his own Wikipedia page so the scandal isn’t 100% bad either.

So I was checking my website and also noticed a spark of web traffic visitors from my previous PITU app review post and saw many fans are sharing their own PITU enhanced photos. And I thought maybe it’s time for an update post about this app.
I am a user of this app for 3-years now. I’m using it for editing my photos since I’m a loser at using Adobe Photoshop, unlike Daryl Aiden Yow.
But unlike him – I didn’t Photoshop myself for my whole travel posts! I spend time, money, and lots of “arm exercise” to get many decent photos for my stories.
Do this morning, I tried to play my PITU app and explore its newest feature.
This post is our contribution to that #DarylAidenChallenge
For example, if I want to look like those early Chinese Empress and princesses like this:
Now I have that awesomely gorgeous hair and make-up! Hahahaha Insta-beauty right?!
If I want to change my hair color, that is also possible with PITU. No more going to that expensive salon! (But on a side note, you will miss some juicy salon gossips, if you know what I mean).
With the PITU app, you don’t need to rent Chinese traditional dresses or hire MUA for your photos.
I had so much fun this morning that I’ve captured many sets!
Thanks for the PITU app, now I have a decent graduation photo waaaaaayyyy more pretty and decent, than my actual graduation photo. Now I have shiny hair as well!
But hey, don’t use PITU to fake your graduation photos ah! We will find out! hahahaahh
I don’t need to buy many cosplayer costumes. Thanks to PITU, I can be a Lolita doll :D
And another… gosh isn’t it amazing?!
Or if you want to be like your favorite travel bloggers, but have no money to travel, just download PITU and have these photos:
You can go to Santorini, Paris, Venice and even Japan without sweat and no spending at all!
See our video below:
If Daryl Aiden Yow introduced himself as a graphic creator than a professional photographer, then we might be that kind of scandal.
Overall if you want to engage in influencer marketing, always remember that the best currency is HONESTY.
Admit your flaws, never lie and learn your craft.
Or use PITU instead.
Disclaimer: This is a #NotSponsored post. I love using PITU and sharing this story is equivalent to caring.
This is really a crazy app... in a good way of course. Now everyone can look better thanks to pitu. 😄

DeleteThese photos are lovely. It makes me consider getting the app.
ReplyDeleteYou should and its FREE!
DeleteI just read that this app gets personal info and asks for control of some things in your phone. I don't know but I feel that it violates my privacy.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you didn't saw the option that you can set the data you can allow to the app. I did it and doesn't bother me.
DeleteWhat a cool app. I am probably too old to use it but I will have to tell my daughter about it.
ReplyDeleteThe kids would love it!

DeleteHow crazy about the scandal! I hadn't heard of it, but I often wonder when I look at blog photos if it's "real" or created to give an impression.

ReplyDeleteOh I bet your little lady will be crazy about PITU.
DeleteHearing about this influencers transgressions are very troubling, but I really liked that he apologized and owned up to his lies. In a weird way it makes me feel better about my meager following and my original content at least I know that I have the followers I have from my own work.
ReplyDeleteExactly! I may not have a huge following but at least I own my content and never fake and fool them. Its crazy that even Uniqlo made a fool, OMG
DeleteI had not heard of this scandal but it is not the first of the kind. This app looks so cool! I'd love to try it!
ReplyDeletePlease download the app coz its fun. hope they add more features!
DeleteI've never heard or used PITU but it sounds and looks like a fun and interesting app. These scandals are so crazy, this digital era really pushes people to do crazy things to gain likes, followers and brand deals.
ReplyDeleteThat is so true! The era of materialism pushes new kids to the crazy stuffs.
DeleteThis app looks like so much fun and love that you can create loads of different looks too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. I think you can design greeting cards using PITU!
DeleteThis App is really on point, I am getting mine now, by the way you are as cute as a puppy.
ReplyDeleteLOL thank you!
DeleteI have never heard of this app before but it looks really intersting! I like all the different scene drops you can use with it. I'll have to play around with it, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nicole for visiting! Hope you will enjoy this app.
DeleteThat’s insane! I read about the fraud influencer and I hate how people like him are damaging the name.
ReplyDeleteThat is true! And the most humiliating part is Sony got into this. That this fraud guy uses a stock photo, and telling his fans that he capture it using Sony camera.
DeleteThis seems like a fun little app! Can't believe people would lie like that though. I don't understand how they can feel good about it!
ReplyDeleteWell fame can make most kids blinded.
DeleteOh Wow! I hadn't heard of that scandal but that is unbelieveable, but it did make a nobody into a somebody when you think about it.
ReplyDeleteI agree! New influencers (we call them influenzas) are doing things out of our imagination just to get that fame.
DeleteStories like this just let me know how crazy this world can be. So people are catfishing to become famous influencers and get paid...wow wow wow
ReplyDeleteI know right, and hey not just a few bucks but thousands of $$$
DeleteOMG, I need to get my hands onto PITU app instantly. Would love to try those cool Chinese dresses ;)
ReplyDeleteHahaha you will get addicted to it! Awesome app to deco your pics.
