Anyone remember the girl who set up a website a few years ago called Save Karyn? The premise of her site was as follows... She was in credit card debt over $20,000 from buying life's necessities. You know, things like a new laptop, clothes, shoes and expensive sunglasses. All the things a fashionista in NYC needs. So she created her website and asked everyone reading it to send her $1.00 to help get her out of debt. And wouldn't you know it, people did it. There was outrage over her site. People wondered how anyone could be so bold and brazen. Her link was passed around like hotcakes. Usually with the accompanying question, "can you believe this?".
Apparently most people did and sent her money. Over the course of 20 weeks she was able to pay her debt completely off. To her credit, she did auction off some of her goodies on eBay. So what's Karyn up to now?
Well she has a new book coming out in July called 20 Times A Lady. The premise of the book is pretty good. A woman wakes up one morning and realizes that she has hit the maximum number of men she is willing to sleep with in her lifetime, in this case 20. Since he is not the one, she has to go back to her past men and make it work with one of them. There are also talks of a movie deal.
Pretty bold moves coming from Karyn, but it worked and I say good for you. Check out Karyn's blog for more on what's going on with her.
Till next time...
