Luna

Refresh my memory. The daughter-- was she real or fake? I honestly can't recall.

the daughter was eventually revealed to be alex in nyc

You're confusing Luna with Burmakitty and her daughter Aja... I still think Aja was real though, or at least I can't imagine what anyone would get out of such a long and boring fakery.

xp back to the wild.

strongo i realize how that sounds but there was context. "oh hey i'm picking him up at the airport, talk to me as i wait" etc, then you hear car door open and close, dude get in and start bitching about his flight etc. no doubt you think i'm a moron but whatev, doesn't matter to me if you think he's real or not or anything else about this whole deal really.

or at least I can't imagine what anyone would get out of such a long and boring fakery.

FAKE TUOMAS TIPS HIS HAND AGAIN

xp I actually thought you were telling a joke.

i just said this to another ilx off-board but it seems germain so: "you know the minute i typed that i was like 'wait minute...why do i care?' this feels like bringing back the villain of top-rated season number six to spike interest in season number 12."

Thanks Tuomas, I was totally conflating luna and burmakitty.

I run into chaki irl rather often - we live pretty close to each other.

gtfo

chaki deserves a medal

Oddly enough, I run into Chaki all the time irl.

You're still running into him?

What was the gist of Nabisco that day? I don't remember any of it.
Husband had to stay in LA until Fall of last year. Don't know why there was that gap between her moving out and him joining her, but there's many plausible reasons for that. He insisted they were never divorced or seperated, but he knew for years before ILX she had been telling people online she was divorced.

how could you even live like that, god

gtfo

Lol, where I run into you; Uva!

xp occasional cuts of $50-75k scams.

how could you even live like that, god

Poverty, child, dogs...

The key is the whole 80% truth-20% lie. If everything you tell is a lie, it all crumbles quicker and with less pressure. Bedrock of truth to give the "active ingredient" lies more vigor.

GD, do you know who her husband says she scammed for this $50-75K?

i hope that dude gets the fuck away from that evil piece of shit asap.

For people who don't remember what happened back then, pretty much all the important stuff (not counting Chaki's earlier "fake" cries) is in this thread:

I love that every time this thread is about to get derailed, more deets are posted

I've been going through that thread myself starting from here Not location specific, No rules: Welcome to ILX heaven

I noticed that the less we spoke the less plausible she was; she didn't remember what she'd told me because the gaps were longer and longer and she'd reference something casually (as if she'd mentioned it to me) which to me was totally out of the blue.

M you can gmail me @ b u t t c h if you'd like

It's a good read. I was in NZ when it happened so it wasn't until the "hotdog down my hallway" lady thing that I went back and immersed myself in that thread.

I personally am lolling at the unnecessary argument I had with max and chaki

as someone who's been impersonating a woman in the rock critic community for years i am mostly just aghast at her sloppiness

classic

still feel like there's a movie and/or reality show in all this

Seriously. She scammed so much money, it seems much more sinister than the Catfish story.

I was away from ilx because of medical issues when Luna day happened, it was fascinating to go back and read later. Luna had always seemed off to me -- not because I thought she was scamming people out of money or anything, but there was just something very saccharine and twee about her that rang false. And the pictures seemed fake. I thought she was just a shut-in who wanted attention, not a genuine con artist.

this is my fave:

are you really defending this behavior, ms misery?

Trust me, you wouldn't want me to show up at any of your shows.

well i dont expect you to. i dont make crappy rockabilly.

what i knew then had me thinking, "god get some help, girl, and leave these people alone" and now i'm thinking she should possibly go to prison and probably hell (if it existed.)

lmao @ chaki

i hope all of those luna defenders find out the truth. not because i want them to feel bad but because they deserve to.

not deserve to feel bad, to fin out the truth.

fin out? sorry tuomas.

this post is killing me rite now

i don't really like chaki but that was a legendarily heroic performance

I think by this point everyone knows Luna is a grifter extraordinaire, although I don't think everyone knew exactly how successful she was

kind of a lesson for internet white knights in there somewhere

i'm dying to know the delete details, i must say. but i respect that maybe i shouldn't know.

ditto

was she good at words with friends? she ever drop a 100-point word?

this has all been v. enlightening, i always assumed luna was a dude pretending to be a woman or something; i guess that could still be the case.

I don't really see how what chaki did was 'heroic' - why didn't he just come out with it instead of confusing and upsetting people?

(This is from the perspective of someone who never had any interaction with luna ever, so I certainly wasn't a defender of her back in the day. Whoever said chaki had a reputation for being an asshat to women and people thought he was continuing that persona was otm, though.)

xxp I have a suspicion, which makes me wish I believed in hell.

She posted on loads of wdyll threads, always with photos of the same model type. Somewhere there's a real woman walking around with zero idea that someone on the internet pretended to be her for like four years.

Welcome to ILX heaven.
