Re: The Return Of TRIPPLE XXX!
Homouality? It really says something about the actual real power of words, and the power of money. Why a magazine publisher would castrate themself in order to make the mag more marketable. And how feckless to cut 'sex' out of homo, since homo graphically implies all the sex that is being cut out. On the other side, maybe the party is just sooooooo great it is hard to let it be promoted as what it really is without having a postorgasmic blackout just out of anticipation. In any event I am...

Re: JT LeRoy
JT LEROY LIVES!!! The moral of the story is in the very last lines of this article: the actual writer does not believe it is a hoax. She IS JT Leroy. She is obviously mad, and obviously talented -- otherwise the illusion could not have continued. Talent will always out. It is not enough to be weird. You have to also be able to write a hell of a sentence. That a therapist was tricked and extended the illusion exposes the poor practice some therapists have of doing therapy over the telephone.
