So back in fall 2006 teh interwebs were rocked by the stunning news that some teenybopper who had become a big-time YouTube starlet was in fact an actress named Jessica Rose playing the role of 16-year old “Bree.” People were all “ZOMGLONELYGIRL15ISFAKEWTFBBQ!!”
As I recall, my reaction when I read about this was more along the lines of “lol wut” because I’d never heard of her. Mainly because I didn’t browse YouTube looking for videos by girls with screennames that sound suspiciously like something Chris Hansen and his Dateline: To Catch A Predator crew would come up with to trap pedos.
Why the history lesson? Because I came across some pics of Jessica which look like they were probably taken during a point in her life when she had modeling aspirations. I have no idea how old she is in these, but she was 19 when she did lonelygirl15, so I would think these predate that. *shrug*
They actually did a Law & Order episode based on lonelygirl15, and the webcam girl was none other than Michelle Trachtenbabe. If you happen to stumble across it during your channel surfing, I recommend it. ^_^
UPDATE: Based on some info from a commenter, it looks like Jessica was about 16 when these photos were taken.
