On the left is JT LeRoy, former teen hustler and reclusive literary star; on the right is singer Speedie (aka Laura Albert). Fooled ya! In an elaborate hoax, Albert actually penned the JT LeRoy, and Albert's partner's half-sister, Savannah Knoop, played LeRoy in public. This photo was taken before the ruse was uncovered in "New York" Magazine in 2005, at the after-party for a LeRoy book reading during the New York Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Spring 2004 at Ian Schrager's Paramount Bar, Sept. 13, 2003 in New York.
