Note: This is an unedited re-post from MinXus-Lynxus. Sinclair Scripa is not an IUOMA member, but she is a veteran mail artist. She has a number of IUOMA friends. NLB (Naughty List Bitches) is a post-feminist post-punk band that exists but, as the blog states, has only released 20 seconds of actual music. Several current IUOMA members are members of NLB. I am not sure about the identity of all of them, and they uses aliases. Last year I was president of the NLB North American Fan Club until I was viciously, verbally attacked by one of the members who, in my opinion, is genuinely deranged. NLB is active again. I have nothing to do with them. My warning to Sinclair is sincere.

April 22, 2015 - M-L followers might recognize Tenderfoot Sinclair Scripa as a once bright-eyed, enthusiastic entrant in last year’s Who Has The Best Hair Contest.

In the meantime, life happened. We never believed (but might have been responsible for) the internet rumors that Sinclair is actually (1) Patty Hearst or (2) a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army or (3) Patty Hearst and a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army.

The rumors only compounded and became more complex when Facebook talk show host and former underground zine illustrator Larry Oberc claimed to have lived in an apartment where Sinclair/Patty/Tanya had been held hostage in a closet (or something).

For a time, we thought we were free of this quagmire and the stories had subsided, especially when Larry Oberc announced emphatically (and diverted attention away from the SLA) that the rock band Blind Faith was responsible for the rise of the Third Reich. That specific set of rumors concerning the SLA, indeed, does seem to have subsided, only to be replaced by an even more fearsome and worrisome acronym: NLB.

We wanted to believe that NLB – the Naughty List Bitches – had disbanded months ago. They were absolutely the worst band in history, and they only released 20 seconds of real music, which is probably a blessing. Otherwise, they were a hoax, a fake band. All this can be forgiven and overlooked. What cannot be overlooked or forgiven is that they were (and are) rude and truly mean-spirited people.

Now, it appears, they are back to torture us again.

We like Sinclair Scripa. She has definitely gotten involved with the wrong people. She is never going to get paid. The NLB jackals will eventually discard her and leave her to rot somewhere. All we can say is: Get out and get out now, Tanya.
