I Feel Like Borat Right Now.

Posted on January 29, 2007 by sheila

Check out the comments section. (Comments at 1:59 a.m., and then again at 3:00 pm and 3:09 pm). So strange and so funny – People get really worked UP and my post has already made it to the first page of Google searches for “Peter Gatien” which is rather frightening because the entire thing is made-up and there are many nutso people out there. I felt obligated to put up a disclaimer because I was afraid that Gatien would come after me, or be mad or something because I’m just making shit up, as though it’s real. But still … I’m gonna leave comments open down there, just so I can see who shows up to tell “Alexa” that she’s horrible – or awesome – whatever the case may be. I love it. Punked! Also it just goes to show you how polarizing Gatien still is. hahaha It’s great.

    I am howling right now, not only for the post and comments, but because this misspelling happens to be famous already.

    People are nuts. I love how the one guy has dubbed her “Alexandra.” It’s just hilarious.

    …or it shows you how many people there are out there who Google random things and then, not unlike a male dog in a new neighborhood, need to leave their little “mark” on any website they can that refers to the name they Googled.

    Seriously. The internet at night, the crazies come out.

    Erik – I know!! I love it!

    I love how one of them is sticking up for poor coke-whore Alexa. “u live how u want to live” …

    and there is someone who is still enraged at Peter Gatien. And Alexa too.

    HAHA

    DBW – I know. Her name is Alexa. Not Alexandra. But somehow … that subtlety is just lost in the mists of anger. Hysterical.

    ricki – I don’t know. Peter Gatien is still very much hated here. I don’t know if it’s random searching – but people actually looking for him. There was just a big article about him in NY Mag I think … he’s opening a new club – so it’s kind of like Michael Ovitz. The big bad evil one is “back”!

    And obviously he is despised. Or supported. But mostly despised. For a while there, it was a firestorm of hatred and fear – made even more intense by his pirate eyepatch. It’s an ugly story – and he is actually kind of peripheral to it, but he took the major fall, because of his high profile.

    I’ve always found him really fascinating – but I had no idea that my stupid post would climb up in the Google searches so quickly so that it’s on the first page if you Google the guy.

    What would happen if you combined Alexa’s eyepatch and the Wings of a Dove hat/veil? And the switchblade, of course. What would that backstory be like? I’m thinking something along the lines of a European Pancho Barnes.
