Manhattan Offender

MO Contest! What's your 'lot lizard' name?

Congratulation to Jeremy of Seattle for his winning entry in the Lot Lizard name contest.

The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things is (honestly/pleasantly/happily) agitating above all things

First off, a disclaimer:  yes, JT Leroy does not exist.  Surely by now you've read that "JT Leroy" was a hoax by author Laura Albert and husband Geoffrey Knoop and that Knoop's half-sister Savannah portrayed Leroy in public appearances.  I think it's fabulous.  Then again, I'm a 45-year old mother of two from outside Boise, Idaho, disguising my self as a gay man in Manhattan because no one would read my writing if they knew I bought my 'mom jeans' at Wal-Mart.  Okay, not really, but the point is that what matters in story-telling is the story, not the packaging.  Having seen an advanced screening of the movie that premieres in New York and Los Angeles tomorrow, I can look past the "controversy" and readily recommend readers to do the same.

After the jump, a full review and photo gallery.

MO Contest! What's your 'lot lizard' name?

The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things debuts in New York and Los Angeles next Friday and frankly, the House of MO is buzzy about it.  Having purchased the original hardcover on the day it arrived at the bookstore, that original purchase is now dog-eared from being lent to many friends over the years.

Nevermind the fake author hubbub for now; we'll discuss what might be the most gorgeous hoax of all time soon enough.  Having seen an advance screening (review coming this weekend), what we  most need is someone to talk to about it.

Until then we can share the thrill with you by getting you in on the action now with your very own official tee.  Yes, it's the first ever Manhattan Offender contest!

Everyone knows that your drag name is the name of your childhood pet combined with the name of the street on which you grew up.  (Snuffy Tremont here).  But what is your lot lizard name?  You don't want to use your real name, so you need to make something particularly whorish up.  (Trailah Trash by the way was taken years ago.)  So dig deep into the dark recesses of your filthy minds and give up your nomme de Lot Lizard.

Post your entry in the comments or shoot an email to contest AT manhattanoffender DOT com.  A panel of professional prostitutes will select a winner who will be winning a gorgeous, high-quality tee designed for the film.  Enter now and enter often, we'll take as many names as you have to give.
