Good news for the ones for whom a
lost glove is a reason of grief and sadness! A graduate student in the Carnegie
Mellon University School of Art called Jennifer Gooch launched a web site that
aims to help these poor fellows for whom losing a glove is a serious thing.
So, no matter how strange this
idea would sound for the others, www.onecoldhand.com
was launched and has already solved four cases: four gloves have been already
reunited with their original owners. And Jennifer Gooch won’t stop here; after
successfully reuniting these four poor little lost gloves with their owners,
the graduate student plans to launch similar web sites for cities from all
around the world. Gooch has also serious plans regarding a book to showcase her
found gloves.
Onecoldhand.com’s first
successful glove reunion took place just a week ago, when a CMU intern from
Germany learnt about the web site and checked it out to see whether someone had
found also her missing beige glove. Much to her joy, she found it on the web
site, under the description “woman’s leather glove with bling.”
The woman’s pair of gloves had
been bought a few years ago from Germany, but she later lost one at
Carnegie Mellon’s Simon-Newell Hall. "It was a very popular glove. I was
actually kind of happy it was our first reunion," Jennifer Gooch said
about the first case her web site solved.
www.onecoldhand.com got no less than
55,000 hits in the last 10 days, after its story ran all over the world, thanks
to the news web sites and blogs.
