Daredevil blogger Short Jewish Gal crossed two wires, blindfolded and without a safety harness or a net, strung between two Sherman Oaks Starbucks on Sunday evening in a hire-wire act of major chutzpah. Holding a parasol, the SJG cautiously moved across one wire, and back across another, as a minyan gathered on Ventura Boulevard, five in one Starbucks, ordering lattes, and five in the other Starbucks, ordering hot cocoa to keep warm. There were occasional shouts of, "Oy vey, be careful." It was the latest feat for the SJG, who became the first person to walk through Gelson's blindfolded, not to mention backwards, without knocking over a single display in June 2013. She decided to up her game with the Starbucks stunt, even though she prefers Peets, but couldn't find two locations to teeter between, so she turned to Starbucks, hoping to score a nice slice of pound cake at one of the Starbucks and a grande half-caff, half-Chardonay at the other. She trained for the non-event at her palatial estate, balancing precariously between bar stools. Guinness World Records rep Shlomo O'Brien said, "The SJG is a courageous blogger-tight rope walker in her own mind, and for that we applaud her. But she's getting bupkis from us, in terms of recognition, so we'd really appreciate if she stopped bothering us."
