What are the odds?

So today, my blog would have talked a bit about hats, why I love them, John Helmer Haberdasher and perhaps even talk a bit about the changing social trends in hats.

But then something more interesting happened.<

Yesterday, I wrote a blog about how, by and large, women have it easier when it comes to acquiring a following on the Internet – especially YouTube. It’s a known trend, and it’s something I think about from time to time.

The thought was brought to mind again through the discovery of imzUnicorn. And, though it prompted a tweet, it would not have turned into the topic of yesterday’s video and blog if not for the comments that my tweet prompted on Facebook.

In writing yesterday’s blog, I mentioned imzUnicorn. I didn’t think too much of it, at the time. She wasn’t really the point of the blog, she just happened to inadvertently inspire it.

I included her username and link because I thought that link-happy types – the sort that, like myself, have been trained by Wikipedia to spend hours clicking on every linked word to see what’s on the other side – would click through. Those that did would discover someone who is actually worth subscribing to.

I also did this with the confidence that she would never actually find the blog.

Today – just this evening, in fact – I received a message from her on YouTube. She’d found it and read it.

I fell off my chair laughing. What are the odds?<

We’re subscribed to one another now, and I do advise checking out her videos.

And take most of what I say regarding boobs and Internet fame with a grain of salt.

I’m never wholly serious.
