Looking back, Laura Albert anticipated just about all of it.

Long before we had split our personas into the lives we truly live and the ones that we choose to create on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and everywhere else, Albert created her own avatar. Before the lingo of gender fluidity and transgender identity became commonplace, Albert, a budding musician and freelance writer in San Francisco, was writing novels, articles, and stories under the invented name of JT LeRoy...

LeRoy's work even inspired Shirley Manson of Garbage to write a song, "Cherry Lips (Go Baby Go!)." He was also presumed by most of the world to be real—a perception that Albert herself not only encouraged but facilitated.

Laura is the inspiration for Shirley Manson's song with Garbage called "Cherry Lips"

(Shirley has been a major inspiration and hero of mine for many years)   :)
