Camille Hayton - in pictures below - was the girl of my dreams in Patrick Moberg’s romantic quest to find his mystery girl in New York online, aided by a quixotic drawing of his dream girl spotted on the subway and posted on his nygirlofmydreams.com website, which instantly became wildly popular.
Here’s a pic of lovely Camille Hayton:
Here’s Patrick Moberg’s drawing of Camille:
Patrick Moberg, a 21-year old Brooklyn-based Web designer, saw a pretty young woman on a crowded subway train Sunday, but lost track of her as they got off the subway, so he created the website nygirlofmydreams.com to publicize his quest for his dream girl.
Amazingly, it worked! Within hours, his cell phone was ringing non-stop and his email box was buried by an avalanche of leads, tips, and romance proposals from other women.
Jason, a coworker of the mystery dream girl, contacted Moberg and emailed a picture so he could confirm her identity.

Patrick quickly updated his New York Girl Of My Dreams website:
“We’ve been put in touch with one another and we’ll see what happens.”
The mysterious NY subway girl of his dreams was named on Thursday as Camille Hayton, an Aussie who’s in New York working as an intern at BlackBook.
Needless to say, the quixotic quest for online romance created a huge media frenzy about Patrick Moseberg and Camille Hayton’s first date.
“This is crazy. I can’t believe it’s happening,” Hayton, 22, told the New York Post.
Patrick Moberg said he is now asking for a little privacy in his love life, removing all contact info from the NY Girl Of My Dreams website and leaving a message on his phone saying he will do no more media interviews.
“In our best interest, there will be no more updates to this website,” he wrote. “Unlike all the romantic comedies and bad pop songs, you’ll have to make up your own ending for this.”
Meanwhile, Camille’s co-workers at BlackBook have written several hilarious takes on their own involvement with the saga of “Patrick & Camille” the latest media sensation:
- Chronology of the runaway train girl story
- Jason - Cupid BlackBook intern’s snarky details
- Win a date with the next Blackbook Dream Girl
And that’s the back story behind Patrick Moberg finding his “NY girl of my dreams” Camille Hayton

Includes a great casual video of Patrick describing what he was thinking when he saw Camille on the subway, how they made eye contact before a swarm of people carried her away, and what inspired him to create the website.

She’s not even cute though…not trying to be a jerk, but why was THIS the girl of his dreams? The girl of my dreams would at least be hot.

Hi I get what he what he felt; I know what a woman can do to men with souls, and good hearts. She can take your mind away from reality with just a brief scent of her natural aroma. Australian girls can do that, they have been recognized in Europe as some of the most beautiful women. So I hope you find the most precious Gem in the world, something money could never buy. LOvE

ummm - she’s beautiful douchebag! anyhow, that’s the wonderful thing about life - everyone’s idea of the perfect girl is different (if they were all the same, we’d have one big problem, now wouldn’t we?)
