This story has nothing to do with Kimkins and Heidi Diaz, but I think there are parallels in showing how easy it is to create an online persona that has little to do with the real person behind it.

OMG :( what a sad story!

I see how compelling it would be to create a new persona, if one were not happy with their own life.

Fantastic Blog, Sol! as always

Prior to Kimkins, I’d have had a difficult time believing this one. Wow.

DivaDi – Thanks! I was thinking of you earlier today and remembered that I promised to send you this link when we met the other week. Reading it again, I decided to post it as it truly is an amazing story.
