When I get my donation back, I'll be giving it to the local no-kill rescue group through which I got my cats.

I'm sorry for being part of this spiral of absurdity.

You shouldn't apologize; you did what you thought was right.

It probably would have been better if she'd kept her mouth shut and used the money to play the ponies or something. There will be a lot of people who'll think twice now before helping someone who claims to be in need.

Holy Christ, that's so fucking unreal. I actually have just read through it about ten times and I'm like "This cannot be seriously happening." Just, never has what the fuck been more appropriate. I am baffled. BAFFLED.

Has she made arrangements to return the money?

Regardless, what she did was a crime. And I mean that literally. I hope someone alerted the authorities in her area.

Ugh. What a mess.

I'd encourage anyone who did donate and who hasn't yet received a refund of their funds to contact Paypal or start a dispute there.

Hullooo! Found you through nissa. Got taken in by this story, too, but not enough to give the bitch money...

Heya! Yeah, I jsut saw you over there. Someone who knows her in RL and got screwed hard on this is on my friends list, i figured it was enough of a persona connection... but then, so did she....

Other than this shit, I hope all's well?

All is fascinating, lucrative, intriguing, creative...I'm in VT right now doing a show for the next few weeks, but I moved to New Orleans about a year and a half ago.

I've been working solely as an artist since 2001, I'm in the process of writing a book, and I've sold 4 original paintings in the last 2 months in addition to the usual prints, commissions & body painting. I've even done some storyboards & a bit o' movie work.

No complaints;)

How's on your end? How's modeling going? Why are you still living in NYC??

[splix.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. Only after her story was debunked did she come clean. Charming.

What an asshole.

Crap ass day, but life is good in general. Am still in NYC because it's that or LA and NYC seems to suit me better. Well, also still here because I haven't figured if/how/when to move to Sydney yet, as if I'm going anywhere that's where.

I've been sort of avoiding modeling like the plague. Acting is my very good friend now though.

I knew you moved, but not much else. What's the scoop on the book?

Random: I was at my dance instructor's house a couple of weeks ago and she has one of your prints. It was a funny small world thing.

Long story on the book, but suffice it to say, its already 27,000 words and I'm writing it at the behest of a publisher/editor. I'll keep people posted as it becomes more real. So far, the people who've read parts of it tell me it doesn't suck.

Who's your dance instructor?? Do I know her? Where'd she get one of my pieces? Too weird.

And, have you spoken to Stu at all? Last I heard, he was having a strange, whackass disconnect with reality. Is he okay?

[rm.livejournal.com]

I've not spoken to him since right after I got back from Sydney, so probably early February. He was about to go to China at the time. I should see what's up.

Yay on the book.

Dance teacher is Susan DiGuardiola and I know it was at some con or other as she's part of that universe too (she is a nexus of small world theater, I'm constantly meeting peopel who have some vague connection with her from totally disparate worlds).

You have nothing to apologise for

[labellerose.livejournal.com]

You only did what many of us also did-tried to spread a little compassion and light in the word and help someone in need. I just hope this con artist doesn't hurt a truly deserving person ( or animal's) chance to be helped.
