I'm a "famous person"

A few months back, I received a google alert with a link to a young woman's blog, but then I lost it in my many google alerts. Thanks to my friend Diana (who somehow stumbled upon it), I have the link again!

Check out this post where Emy Augustus (if that is her real name) refers to me as a "famous person"; a term I find delightfully charming.

I love her description of the encounter, and me (note: This had to have happened on the day of the Atlantic Antic in downtown Brooklyn):

I saw Bitch cakes! Her real name's Sheryl. She writes THREE blogs. I'll let the titles speak for themselves. They are,

- The World According to Bitch cakes

- Bitch Cakes: A Neurotic Glamour Girl's Weight Watchers Experience and Fitness Adventures

- Musings of an Irate Commuter (my fav)

We were walking somewhere in Brooklyn (near the Transit museum) and suddenly there she was, larger than life and looking exactly like she does in her blogs. I stopped short and said in a stage whisper, Diana! Is that... (here I trailed off because I was about to say 'Bitch Cakes' but she was close enough to overhear me). A second later, my sister stops short and turns to me with a gigantic dopey grin on her face, bashing me on the arm, and saying, omgod look who it is! (Or something to that effect).

Lol. So funny. We didn't talk to her...

Sheryl has a great personality, she knows the owner of the new Fred Flare that opened in Brooklyn, and has a bag there named after her! She also guest blogs there. Sometimes she's a little *too* 'bitchy' on her commuter blog...but it's understandable because early morning subway rush hour makes me feel like I'm going crazy sometimes. You should see the notes I scribble in my notebook during the rides.

Emy, that made me day, twice - the first time I saw it and again today. I'm far from famous. Maybe just recognizable thanks to my style and interweb presence.

I'm sorry you didn't get those awesome gloves, but I wish you had said hello! I love meeting blog readers! Anyway, thank you for the appearance in your blog. It was very sweet :)
