"A couple of years ago I had a rough breakup and self-medicated through wine," he told BuzzFeed News. "Though I'm over the breakup now (and the copious consumption) I always thought it would be sad, funny, and a little sweet to make a companion from the empty cartons left over."
And thus, Michael's wine box boyfriend was created:
"There's something to be said for the ideal; maybe we all secretly want that significant other who boops us on the nose with pasta sauce while cooking, who goes grocery shopping with us and is as concerned as we are with the calorie content of focaccia chips," said Michael.
Niscelle Ward, a friend of Michael's, helped take the photos, which were all done on his iPhone.
