Q . Hey everyone it ’ s ya boy Darren Southern Plug Brown , here with a mega Southern Plug Exclusive . Introducing to some , Ms . Kristin Marielii . So , Kristin tell our readers that may not be familiar with you how went viral exactly ? A . Ok so the story behind the pic , I went to the vikings / eagles game alone , which i do often . sitting to the right of me were 3 individuals from VA . during halftime I asked one of the guys to take a pic of me looking onto the field . he took several , i looked at them and did not like any of them and just said forget . so the following night i was looking thru the pics trying to find the one i felt i looked the best ( never once did i pay attention to the guy in the background ) so i saw one i was like “ ok this is ok ” posted it to my twitter with the caption “ fly eagles fly ” i think that night it was starting to pick up but i didnt pay attention . i think the guy in the background is what really makes the pic . if it wasnt for the assumption of him looking at me , then im sure that would have been just like any other pic i posted on twitter lol
Q . When did you notice that your post had went viral and what was your immediate reaction ? A . I noticed the pic started to go viral the next afternoon when i woke up to my phone blowing up , texts , missed calls , FB , IG , and twitter . i laughed and just thought “ this is crazy ” but nothing suprises me in the world of social media
Q . How has your life changed since your viral photo ? A . Really just the social media attention . a little pressure knowing i have a bigger audience watching what i do and say on twitter and IG .
Q . So I see that you are a personal yoga teacher . How has going viral affected your business ? A . I have had a few people hit me up to become clients but nothing has happened yet . being a yoga teacher isnt my career . i am also a respiratory therapist .
Q . We both know our readers want to know is there a special someone in your life ? A . No there is not ! and for now i would like to keep it that way . its way more peaceful . lol
Q . Well I know that the thirsty guys have been flooding your dms , how have you been dealing with all of the provocative attention that has come from the post ? A . Its been very interesting and at times overwhelming . i have had some wild DMs , mostly positive and some negative .
