A recent New York Magazine article claimed to unveil the biggest literary swindle of recent years - namely that enigmatic author JT Leroy, who penned cult classics 'Sarah' and 'The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things', is not actually a cross-dressing former rent boy, but a 39-year-old social worker from Brooklyn called Laura.
Nonetheless the usually shy Leroy, known for donning a bad blonde wig and sunglasses when out in public, was spotted no less than THREE times on the westside of Los Angeles on the night of Friday October 29.
Sighting # 1: at a party celebrating the first L.A. Weekly Biennial art show and party at the Track 16 gallery in Santa Monica's Bergamot Station. The normally reclusive writer was spotted wandering around the gallery gazing at works by the likes of Sarah Cromarty, Glenn Bach and Weekly contributors SABER and Shepard Fairey (who was spinning up a storm behind the decks).
Later, we bump into Leroy again, at Roosterfish, a friendly little gay bar on Abbott Kinney in Venice known for its "hot bartenders, stiff drinks and electronic darts". This time he was wearing a new Asian-inspired disguise. Very clever JT, very clever.
Peturbed at having been recognized a second time, Leroy retreated into the men's room (or was it the ladies?) and emerged a few minutes later, butterfly-like, in his most elaborate disguise of the evening - DRAG.
Here he is with his celebrity BF Asia de Argento.
Nice try JT. You can run but you can't hide...
