Is America's 'Craziest Dating Expert' For Real?
Blogosphere Debates Over Viral Videos of the Author of Guide to Studying Abroad and Meeting European Men
NEW YORK, Oct. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Katherine Chole Cahoon has written a humorous but tip-filled book, The Single Girl's Guide to Meeting European Men that is part tour guide, part dating handbook, but all fun. It's a unique hybrid of strategies for traveling and for meeting men. To promote the book's launch this month, the Vanderbilt graduate (she majored in International Media and Management while making the dean's list every year) had her father shoot some campy, playful videos of the young, green-eyed blonde cozying with model-esque European hunks.
With millions of videos on You Tube, Katherine was able to break through the clutter and climb to instant digital fame. Her videos have developed a cult following, propelling her book into Amazon's top five selling books on traveling solo and top 100 of all dating books. Her video character has been compared to the one in Legally Blonde – you'll have to be the judge of who the real Katherine Chloe Cahoon is.
AOL just did a story on her that puts it into perspective: www.aolnews.com/weird-news/article/author-katherine-chloe-cahoons-obsession-with-european-guys-goes-viral/19683124 .
