At an after-part for a reading of this book. It looked like a young boy in drag, with Liz Taylor glasses and a goofy blong wig. It just sat there, with this stupid grin on its face and said little to nothing while people told it how good the passages from the book were... I didn't understand why then, but I wanted to punch it in the face. I missed my shot, I could've outed this fraud way back then. (p.s. Asia Argento is hot)

You know what I mean? She's got that rough look to her, but she's still hot. I don't even know what the fuck I'm talking about.

Are you talking about JT Leroy, or Asia Argento?

She's not hot but is supremely fuckable.

Fiction is fiction. If it's done well that's all that matters. Fiction based on a lie can be just as compelling as fiction based on truth. Grow up you idiots! Besides, Argento is purdy. I want her to screw me to death over the course of three nights while I'm tied to her bed.

I really have no idea what I'm trying to accomplish with this post. Sometimes I just get repulsively stupid and bleat my ignorance to the world in the least harmful ways possible. At least I do little damage that way. But I do think Argento is attractive when photographed correctly. In real life she might look like my rectum, I don't know.
on asia argento's hotness and jt the shamalama

well, Asia Argento is hot because she is Dario Argento's daughter. And jt Leroy is either the stupidest (and worst) thing to happen to the literary world since James Frye or he/she/they are the most hilarious sort of postmodern/dada-esque slap in the face of the literary world that has, of late, fetishized the memoir. I suspect its both. This is really a testament to the worthlessness of contemporary popular lit. Chuck P, Aug. Borroughs, and JT, its just a bit of shock + a bit/a pretense of truth + heaploads of irony. Someone make a movie of Fallout with Asia Argento as Tandy and Uwe Boll as a radscorpion.

Lumping Leroy with Frye is a mistake. Frye was deceiving us about himself. Leroy was lying about a fictional person. Yes, it was still deception, but Leroy never existed. Frye does. That makes a difference to me. The whole Leroy thing is creative. It's not that different from Stephen King writing under the name Richard Bachman. With that being said, I've not read either Leroy or Frye, nor do I plan to.

i wasn't trying to suggest that leroy and frye are the same, I was just relating them sequentially. I would also push back on the villification of Frye. Only recently do people expect memoirs to be uncompromisingly true to the point where the life of the person is more important than the work itself. I think calling a work non-fiction makes a sort of pact with the reader, but i think it's sad that readers are so heavily voyeuristic that they are so offended and wrapped up in this whole frye thing. A nineteenth century reader or even an early twentieth century one wouldn't be nearly so suprised by this. It's a book, what's worrysome to me is how much we are willing to invest in a stranger's life. though, i do feel for those who identify with his story and feel like they found someone who relates to their lives. he shoulda just called it fiction and leroy should just pull the wig off, there's a difference between art and publicity seeking affect.
Asia Argento is a refreshing, flawed hottie.

I'm tired of seeing perfect looking blondes. I like the fact that Asia Argento has crooked teeth. Plus she looked fuckin' hot in that red and black miniskirt in New Rose Hotel.

Asia looks like a European Porn Actress

Like I said on the other Heart is Deceitful.. TB, Asia is hot in that Private way. She looks like one of their "actresses". Private actresses appear "dirtier" than their US (Vivid,etc) counterparts in look and actions. An Asia Argento/Michelle Wild vid would be kinda cool. That's all I have to say.

When I saw this movie at last year's Philadelphia Film Festival, one of the producers got up before the start of the film to read a letter from JT LeRoy. Not a note, a letter. It took something like ten minutes (or maybe it was just five, I don't know) to get through the whole thing, and it was a complete mess of sentimental garbage and bogus awe-shucks-isms. Then, they finally started up the movie, and I was surprised to discover that I actually enjoyed it. I wouldn't read anything by the author, whether it's a real person or not, but I think the movie turned out rather well.
