I’m a writer, DJ, philosopher and T-shirt maker living in NYC. A nerd of the new golden age. I became interested in the telepathic web back in the blog hey day of 02, when I started BRANDTRUEBOY by pretending to be three fictional people, who blogged together on a team blog under the auspices of working on art various art projects but were really more interested in falling in and out of love with one another. A love triangle was formed, with the lesbian ex-junkie Sterling Fassbinder in love with TRUEBOY, a sexually ambivalent young woman who used to be (and possibly still is) in love with Fitzcarraldo who is a tall, rich gay dilletente who scoffs at the idea of love. The three posted as “real” people—leaving comments on each other’s posts and responding to the comments of others. They had Gmail accounts that each began receiving a steady stream of mail. I was amazed by how many people thought they were real. I began to wonder how far I could take it. Something told me that the more outrageous I became, the more believable the blog would be—as long as I wrote about it in a believable way.
I hate that she gets no respect cuz Courtney Love dropped the killer guiding insight back on “Live Through This”: I had to fake it so real I was beyond fake.
