'I'm also 5’1, and they’re all very tall and muscular, so I was just so clearly standing out.' 'One of my main groups of friends in San Francisco is a group of gay men, so I have often found myself in situations where I’m the one woman amid all of these gay men,' Godbole said. She attended the event with close friends, several of whom are in the photo. Though Godbole, 35, posted the picture to her own Instagram at the time, it didn't take off until a friend with a sizable following shared it on his own account as a throwback Thursday post the following year. 'In that moment people were looking at the photo and saying, 'You’re going to be famous,'' Godbole told BuzzFeed News about the picture, which was snapped in 2017 outside a bar at San Francisco's Folsom Street Fair, a BDSM and leather event. A friend decided to snap a photo from above of Godbole in the funny situation - and a meme was instantly born. Standing in a sea of shirtless, leather harness-clad men towering over her, Amruta Godbole said she felt like a 'fish out of water' while at a San Francisco street fair a few years ago.
