Sarah Townsend’s Double Life

Sarah Townsend’s Double Life

The new social landscape makes it very easy to lead a double life, online at least. You might actually be surprised to learn how many do this for business, and of course pleasure.

However, what happens when someone steals your image and creates a double life for you? That’s just what happened to local tech darling Sarah Townsend, Editorial Director for Socialvibe.

Apparently unknown to Sarah, her image was being used to represent a well known avatar in the World of Warcraft, by the name of “Ferarro”. Given how cute Sarah is, these stolen photos no doubt quickly found their way into the hearts of many in Azeroth (the WoW nerd homeland).

For the entire ‘saga‘ check out WoW.com and the Google Cache of the imposter’s blog (they’ve since made it private). 

If you’re a WoW player coming here as result of Google-stalking Sarah, you can find the real thing on her blog, or her Twitter account.

And hey, we know you don’t find many girls this pretty outside of Azeroth, so please do your best to be a respectful Orc.
