That thread was interesting. It had me thinking about all the people that _I_ consider to be famous, but which I doubt most people would be able to recognize.

I will admit, I did not know who Stacy Adams is. I wonder about the size of the portion of people who know who Stacy Adams is, or who Louis Vuitton is, that also know who Corrinne Yu is.
