So, what has it been now? 7ish years since she first put a camera up in her apartment and invited the world in? I remember seeing it on the news in the days before the internet was any part of my life and wondering who would pay to watch her? I mean, adding cinemax was about the same price and surely the nudity would be better in the form of a hot actress, and not over dial up.

She's an internet oddity. Not a camwhore (who'll take requests in exchange for buying them gifts, yeah, amazon wish lists), but a bizaare experiment. She was putting as much of her life out there to view as she could. She blogs now too, I don't recall if she did that when I first heard about her.

I wonder how much reality TV we should blame her for. Really, the last time I thought of her was when I saw previews for Big Brother.

It's so strange. I never watched, but I'm mourning the passing anyway.

Me too, celia. [Frown]

Yeah, I'll miss her and the infamous coffee maker that used to be on the net (I remember seeing the auction for it a long time ago).

Thankfully I've still got the bofhcam to keep my spirits up.

Who?

Never heard of this person...

Me neither. I just went back in the threads to about page 80 and noticed that no one had responded to this thread of celias, so I decided to respond... out of the goodness of my heart.
