Missed Connections

Please check out this gorgeous site.

I had my own weird little “missed connection” moment once (not of a romantic sort; just a curious event that I’ve thought about from time to time in the years since). I was about 17 years old, walking through Columbus Circle, when this twentysomething guy passed me going in the other direction. We both turned and walked backwards for a ways, watching each other disappear into the crowds, not smiling, not saying anything…just looking at each other. It wasn’t about attraction, not really – I just felt very strongly that I knew this person.

    I work in children's publishing and know Sophie's work well! She's a bestselling children's book author/illustrator in addition to owning a fab etsy store. Here's more of her work:

    I have a good friend who was actually able to connect with a guy we'd met at a party here in NYC by posting a Missed Connection that ended up being read by his friend (in Seattle, where he lives!), who let him know about it so he could get in touch with my friend. The little illustration for this would have been great: “To the tall dude wearing a blonde wig and fishnets…”

    That's amazing. I've always wondered if these things ever actually work out.
