Oh my God, I know JT Leroy. I sent him/her to France like six months ago. He/she told me that he/she was a transgender individual and he/she had a kid and they wanted to go to Disneyland Paris. As soon as they got to Paris, I got phone calls from hoteliers. "Is it a man? Is it a woman? There are all these people with her. They ran up a 400 Euro breakfast bill. They claimed they got heat stroke." Never mind the fact that HE/SHE called me like six times. And I like him/her. He/she was fun to talk to. And now I don't even know who I talked to. When he/she got back from France he/she sent me this huge box of Kiehl's products and invited me out to dinner in San Francisco.
There is another story in today's New York Times. Apparently the girl who has been posing as JT Leroy went to high school with my assistant. I kid you not.
My friend Doug's response to me telling him that I know JT Leroy was "How do you get involved with these people?" Well, in essence, they find me -- "they" being weirdos. Seriously I don't seek them out. They freaking find me. And the best story to highlight this fact is the headbiting story.
One night out at Hell with some friends for a birthday party, I caught sight of this guy. He was cute -- really cute. He kind of looked like Dave Matthews. So I did the mature thing -- I caught his eye and immediatly looked away, blushing. (Yes, I can blush!) Like a half-hour later I feel a small pinch on the back of my head. My friend Anthony, who is facing me, makes a face that can only be described as "Oh my God, your head is on fire." My head was not on fire but there was Mr. Dave Matthews, standing behind me, looking sheepish. His explanation? Yes, he bit my head. He was smelling my hair and he got carried away. Let me repeat that -- HE WAS SMELLING MY HAIR AND HE GOT CARRIED AWAY.
Yeah, they find me.

You are so funny. I don't know what I would do if someone just came up and bit me. I need to get posting.
