Some people share their name with rock stars, world leaders or Nobel Laureates. Not me.
I call it The Case of the Curious Stats (as in statistics). Like most sites, this website allows us to monitor general data—which countries are represented, which pages are most viewed etc. I was curious to see a recent spike in hits from Spain. Lovely, I thought…someone had picked up my blog in Barcelona or Madrid? The numbers continued to grow. Within a few days I was tossing my hair in that slightly-self-satisfied way, worthy of a shampoo commercial (I drew the line at winking).
Then I discovered: there is another Alicia Young. In Spain. Known in rarefied circles as either the Boob Blogger or the Boob-A-Day Girl.
Yes, she posts a picture of her cleavage every day. Every. Single. Day.
Technically, then, it should be Boobs-A-Day, plural. At least they could get the grammar right. And depending on the source, she’s drawn between 2.5 and 3.3 million hits in a just a few months… 170,000 in one day alone. She shows only the assets in question, not her face.
I laugh to think my high school boyfriend will discover her site and think I suddenly became more liberal—and sprouted a generous cleavage. I was a late bloomer. The poor guy – when we made out, he’d search my barren landscape for any sign of peaks, and come up fruitless – despite a compass and a flashlight. Still, points for enthusiasm. And perseverance.
Have you ever been mistaken for someone else?
NB: My apologies if you have received this update more than once. My learning curve continues.
