Ermahgerd Girl
This meme first emerged online in 2012 after being posted to Reddit with the caption “Just a book owners smile…” The girl in the photo, Maggie Goldenberger was just 11 years old when the photo was taken during a dress-up session with some friends. Today, Goldenberger is a nurse in Phoenix, Arizona and she still can’t believe that she’s a meme. She told Vanity Fair in 2015, “I just can’t believe this is my 15 minutes of fame— I was hoping it would come in another form. But I guess you have to take what you can get.”
