iHaTePiNk.com! - You Know You've Made it to the Big Time When ...
oh the blinding pinkness

... a total stranger takes a picture of you without your knowledge almost 10 years ago and then posts it on a website with other weird photos that are made fun of.

I'd never heard of AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com until Henry pointed it out to me (um, thanks?!). HAHahhahah oh man. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this on the website. Not exactly work safe (depends on your industry, I guess), so beware when you click through the photo to the site.

So I guess I should explain what is going on here. :) Old Calgary buds Reema and Winnie were showing me around San Francisco - had to be between 1999 and 2002, while I was an acupuncture student in Cali - and took me to the Palace of Fine Arts. So we were walking around taking pictures and there, on the green, was this dude posing for a professional photographer. Before my friends could stop me, I ran over and asked if I could have a pic with this guy, thinking that this was too hilarious! I still have the original pic where me and this dude are facing the camera; it's a bit strange to know that someone secretly took a pic of us from the side, and has hoarded it until now!

I remember asking him why he was taking pics there; I can't for the life of me remember his answer. I believe he said his name was "Blaire"; I never remembered to look for him on the internet after that.

Not that this REALLY explains anything except for my penchant for wanting to take pictures of everything I encounter. Be sure to read the caption and the comments underneath; so funny! Man. Yep. The Internet "big-time". Thanks(?!?!) AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com!

I think we need the original picture posted here for "proof" that you are in fact the one in that picture. =P

Damn, yo! You were in incredible shape back then, Caro! Although I'm surprised you went topless for a photo with a random stranger, but I guess when you're that tan and ripped, you've got to let the world know, am I right??

@markus: Hahahah. Man. How popular is this site exactly?!?!

@TreeFrog: I'll think about it. :) Also, I like how no one believes that you know me from the comments.

@syndromes: TOTALLY! Man. Those were my glory days. :)

OK, this is too precious. Old-school Greco-Roman wrestling anyone?

Oh man...I've seen that pic a half-dozen times in the last week and didn't recognize you. Nonetheless, yes, you have truly hit the big time. Do you have professional management to negotiate all the endorsement deals that are coming your way?
