It isn't too hard to pull the wool over DUmmy eyes. After all, it's been four years and a lot of them still believe the Andy scam. In the curious case of TLB, however, a tiny glimmer of perception is starting to twinkle through the dark mists of DUmp stupidity:

Tangerine LaBamba - did anyone find out her nom de plume?
She was allegedly a famous author of historical fiction under a nom de plume.
We know her real name was Annette Appollo. Does anyone know her pen name?

4. There is no obit under her real name.
Should that surprise anyone? She did not exist.

7. Her "sister" posted at DU and said only one book was published
and it sold poorly. If you believe that was her sister.
DUmmy Lex has discovered a clue:

16. First of all, why would her estranged sister even care about DU
in the least. Enough to post all that she did? Especially since OLL/TLB had been banned from here for several weeks.
I do like the touch that her "sister's" screen name has the word "ban" in it.
Did you know there are 52 cards in a deck, same as the number of weeks in a year?

39. A number of newbies suddenly cared about DU.
I think sis said that a cousin Googled "Annette Appollo," and up we came. It's rather amusing that such a detailed profile was set up.
I missed the "ban" connection...duh.
Noobs, huh? Like maybe....sock puppets?

19. Why would she write a letter in which she viciously attacked HERSELF?
What would be the point?

21. because she loved the ATTENTION
and because she wanted people to think that wasn't her posting

29. Same reason he/she'd fake her own death.
Same reason she'd keep coming back to DU with new accounts when it was clear she wasn't welcome.
Cause she was a sad sack of shit and needed to **** with other people to get attention.

20. Basically, what I'm trying to find out is....
was she an insufferable braggart, and more importantly, a liar?

35. Maybe a roll of toilet paper could be made from her posts.
That's what they were fit for. She was obviously very badly impaired by substances and seemed to post drunk most of the time. Writer? Hardly.

48. Well
in the "tribute" post I held back. I won't now. She was the most hateful person I've ever had the displeasure to know on DU. After she asked for some of my photography she began to belittle my educational choices, I had recently returned to college. I made the mistake of discussing a legal issue with her and she took on such an arrogant attitude that I was left wondering, "is this person sane?" I left DU for a while because of her, I'm barely back.
For the "tribute" people, I'm sorry for your loss, the death or the tombstone, maybe both. Personally, I won't be surprised that this stunt actually proves that she is a phony and a psychotic. Please also stop the "suffer the fool" comments for those hurt by her actions, she was the fool banned numerous times. I hope my photos look nice on her wall or refrigerator box.
Yes, Virginia, there is a TLB. She posted at the DUmp as her sister, here as T. LaBamba, and also posted as the Las Vegas Lardass's slave girl Jeanette. On the innertubes, nothing is what it seems to be. Except Pam Dawson, who's way too dumb for deception.

You know, sometimes reading the DUmp makes me feel very unfeminine because I realize I have more testosterone than the majority of "men" over there. What kind of woman wants a man like that?

Wondering what happened to her after so many years, I googled and came across posts about Annette's suicide. Hope you don't mind my joining to comment. What seems strangest to me is that even though her book didn't sell well, she was a Harper Collins author and her dying while waiting to be evicted with $400 to her name would have at least made a local newspaper. It's good copy. But there's nothing. Maybe she is gone...but perhaps she tired of being Annette Appollo and simply decided to kill her off in the same way she's killed off online personnas over the years.

It's indeed a mystery.
If Gloria Swanson (aka Tangerine LaBamba) shows up again, it'll have been a great joke.
The primitives on Skins's island would be all upset and pissy and bent out of shape, but we here on this side, even with eggs on our faces, would take it as a good joke.
I think however she's really gone.

Interesting and indeed a good take on things.

who is to say it was an Annette?

Suicide, huh? I've done extensive searching on the internet since the report of her demise on Skin's Island and never saw a mention of suicide. Do you happen to have a link to mer death being a suicide?

It was a DUmp post from a person claiming to be her sister.

Oh yeah, I remember that, now. Still I never found any mention of her passing anywhere else,
-

That may or may not mean a thing as when mom passes no one will know unless myself or my brother tell them..it is her wishes to have no services or announcement.
That last post in the blog Dutch linked to does sound like a person that knows death is close.
Her or someone showing up here to settle old scores would fit a bit too.
Suddenly tonight a poster by the name of "AnotherWoman" arrives with some obvious knowledge of all this so I just find it to be intriguing and an interesting distraction from every day life.
Will see how it unfolds.
-
Well yes, I have some obvious knowledge because I read the posts about her suicide and I'm wondering if it's really true. I knew Annette from her earliest incarnations online. I remember when her book first came out. I decided to ask here if anyone knew for certain because even though I'm not a politcal conservative frankly these boards seemed a bit more rational than over at Dem Underground.

I am with you Frank. No rhyme or reason to it, but I think the same.

It's my theory, based upon simply reading the late Tangerine LaBamba and accepting all that she said at face value, that she finally just got tired and worn out from years of fighting cancer, and may have possibly purposely overdosed on some of those medications, to end it.
That is, of course, when one accepts her own words at face value, which is a risky thing to do, especially when concerning primitives from Skins's island, but the late Tangerine LaBamba always stuck me as credible.
By the way, thanks for your final comment, in bold, above.

What was your relationship to her...a fan of her writing,an old friend or distant relative?

Kindergarten is rational compared to most of the rest of life, particularly the bit where you have to pretend everyone's a grown-up.

Exactly! Everyone minded their own business - what could be more rational than that?

If she exists, or existed, read her posts and her blog, not her posts here when she was campaigning for Top DUmmy. She was a profane, vulgar DUmmy, as vicious as any of them. She was one of the standard DU "Chimpy Mc****face" crowd. She just used better grammar and had a better vocabulary than the other less intelligent lunatics. Considering her DUmmy status, and the suspicious lack of any evidence of her existence or suicide outside the DUmp, I believe the odds are overwhelming that the whole thing is a hoax.
-
Someone asked what sparked my interest...simply came across a copy of her book and wondered what happened to her...in googling about Annette I came across posts about her suicide...this site and the Dem Underground came up. I'm a writer..years ago we had some professional ties. I was simply wondering if she is really gone.

No worries,just was curious is all.
Hope you find it hospitable here and maybe read her posts so as to shed any professional opinion as to whether it was her or not here in December. :)

funny. first thing that came up was her web-site.
what did you think of her last blog. If she offed herself in December, the title is bloody ironic.
Or...maybe she was crying out and no-one heard...
What is it that you write, if I may ask.

Well, he is the one who is responsible for the:
"Instant Classic!!!:

Guess he forgot the perp was black for a minute while attempting to inflame the perpetually inflamed Primitives.
-
To say her last blog post was disturbing would be an understatement. It's not only a cry for help but a scream. Maybe no one heard—or if they did, they didn't care. I haven't had contact with her in many years. If this is indeed how she ended, it is very sad.

I would be sad for anyone.
I think it is funny that they assume her real name was that of the author, and not just another pen-name. Of course, it would be easy to contact the publisher and find her executor...
What is it that you write, if I may ask.

Good point. If this Tangerine LB and the author are/were one and the same person it would somehow make some sort of twisted sense that Annette Appollo were also a pen name.
As for me...I write good stuff:)

She was also Gloria Swanson? And no, I'm not a reincarnation. As I mentioned, we shared some professional ties some years ago...and for a blip of time we considered each other a friend.

I, for example, write a mixture of historical and fiction, mixing the two when the mood strikes. At times I have dabbled into sci-fi, but only under the effects of cognac.

And I was just inquiring as to what you wrote, you having brought up the subject. I don't remember asking you the ISBN of your selected works. Being defensive about the whole issue leads me to believe you don't write...at all...but used that excuse to prove your connection to Annette. Writers are for the most part, an egotistical bunch, and when asked about their work, spout off for hours about it, send you links to it, have a web-page full of flowery prose for you to drool over...
Since none of us knew Annette as you claim to have known her, I am not sure we shouldn't be asking you the question.
BUT- in reality I dont think you knew her at all. I mean, it took me almost 20 seconds for me to find her web-site. I don't think you knew of it before hand, as to your reaction to it. if you were looking for her, a first stop would have been her web-site...with her name on it.
See, AN, all the squares just don't stack up in your 'story'. Of course, it would take me a few seconds to trace your IP, but where is the fun in that?
Why don't you swim back to the island and tell them you got squat.

If so, as I mentioned before, it would be a good joke, a great joke.
Decent and civilized people have a healthy sense of humor; only the primitives on Skins's island would be all bent out of shape.....in the end, providing yet more merriment for us.
The primitives, so retarded in development and anally retentive, don't understand that life is too important to be taken seriously.

Perhaps this is the case too but I think the story we have been given so far is so clearly a ruse that it is time for "AnotherWoman" to fess up if she wishes to stay.

Well, there's nothing to 'fess up to so I guess you'll have to kick me off the board.

You have to admit that given the nature of events..TLB or someone claiming to be her showing up here out of the blue and then only a week or so later being declared to be dead,the supposed sister showing up at the DUmp with the suicide story which was also claimed to have been an oft repeated (the part about her being a failure and such) thing posted many times makes your arrival interesting to say the least.
Personally I found TLB (I do believe it was her) to be charming and articulate here and clearly not a stupid person.
Would like that you were her meaning she was alive but as Frank has said probably not.
The bottom line is that no one here knows any more details then anyone else.
You are perfectly welcome to stay and that was a poor choice of words on my part suggesting otherwise.
Hope you feel free to enter into any other discussions you find here.

I had no idea there had been a weird chain of events so I can understand your suspicion...but I am not her. Admittedly it is a strange coincidence that I should come across her book and wonder what happened to her a month after her supposed passing. I hadn't had contact with her in years but she's not a person one easily forgets. Here's hoping her suicide is a hoax.

EVERYTHING involving DUmmies, including this latest troll, is either a hoax or an outright lie. If you take that position without exception, you will very rarely find yourself proven wrong. In fact, in the several years that I've been aware of the DUmp, I don't recall it ever happening.
