The Legend of Amber Lamps: Amber Found?


The Legend of Amber Lamps: Amber Found?
I wrote a few posts about the Epic Beard Man bus fight months ago. Yet, there was a woman sitting on the bus ignoring the entire thing while listening to her headphones. She wore a purple skirt and purple pantyhose. The Internet Gods proclaimed her “Amber Lamps” and an Internet Meme was born.
There were Facebook pages and t-shirts created for this mystery girl that was too cool to watch two dumb-asses fight on a bus. Somehow, this woman became a spinoff meme from the other one. And, people wondered the true identity of Amber Lamps. At the height of her popularity, she kept a low profile.
Then someone found something on a Facebook Page mentioning the incident on bus. And people put two and two together. A guy named Ian Frazier discovered her. This is what he said. ((Ian Opp Frazier Already found her.Allison Budzinski.Her wall post from weeks earlier commented on an AC transit incident where she figured "Found out today the bus system is not for me, i'll be walking from now on", She also lives in the same city where the Epic Bearded Man and Pinky fought.With so many people asking her and adding her, she put her facebook on hella lockdown))
This is her Facebook page. As you can see, it is locked-down. You can't even send her a friend request. Looking at the picture and the location of her “current city” it does seem to fit. From her locked facebook, I am assuming that she is fully aware of her Internet meme status. It seems like she wants nothing to do with this whole thing. But it is interesting that she has caught everyone’s attention when you got two stupid and loud people going at it on a bus.
So, what has everyone learned from this situation? Don't ride public transportation.
