First Suspect - NoHoGirls

http://www.youtube.com/user/NoHoGirls

This girl smacks of fakeness. I think she'll turn out to be the next lonelygirl15

REASONS FOR SUSPICION:

Videos watched Vs. time as a member -

This was observed by other YouTube users in the comments to her videos. As of 09/23 she has been a member for just two days, yet she's already watched 2080 videos. According to USA Today, the average length of videos on YouTube comes to around 2 minutes each. This means the girl has watched 4160 minutes of videos, or around 69 hours.

But she's only been a member of the Tube for around 48 hours............huh? She must be loading up an awful lot of videos and not watching them the whole way through.

Secondly, it's a little strange that out of 2080 videos, she hasn't found a single one she considers good enough to favourite. The only video she has favourited is one of her own. She doesn't subscribe to any channels either.

No Google Results:

Searching for her name - "Cara Brimley" brings up zero results. Sure, some real people don't appear in google, but it's increasingly unlikely these days. Personally, I have gone to every length to make sure my name isn't plastered all over the net, yet there are still a whole lot of results for me related to employment and the time I was a student.

It's even more bizarre when you consider this girl is supposed to be an aspiring artist. Most amateur artists I know who want to break into the scene use the net a lot for promoting their work. Strange that she doesn't even have a deviantART page or anything. She's obviously web-savvy enough to upload vids to YouTube, it's weird that she doesn't appear anywhere else.

Her MySpace - http://www.myspace.com/carabrimley

Her MySpace page is suspiciously sparse. The comments start on 09/20, mainly people thanking her for adding them to her friends list. This suggests the account is fairly new, started around the same time as her YouTube account. This is also backed up by the fact that google has not yet indexed her MySpace.

One comment comes from her supposed roommate, Blue Nguyen. If you open up Blue Ngyuen's page, it's even emptier than Cara's - no comments, no blog, no likes or dislikes, nothing.

Her Art

Okay, this is perhaps more subjective, but even her art looks fake. Having long been interested in the visual arts, particulary abstract pieces, I don't consider myself entirely unknowledgeable...

The pieces we see in her video demonstrate a complete lack of understanding of depth of color, tone and compostion. The way the paint has been applied suggests it was done by someone with little to no experience with the medium. Even artists who imitate what could thought of as "amateur" styles (Picasso, etc) betray their experience with the medium in the way they apply it to the piece.

Sure, there are a lot of really bad amateur artists out there and she could be just another one of these talentless hopefuls, but this stuff goes even beyond that.

It's hard to explain, but say you watch a movie and one of the characters is an artist, and some of their work appears in the film. It always, and I mean always, has a particular look about it. It looks like it was slapped together for the movie. In short, It looks like her stuff.

The "Plot"

After only two videos, I'm already getting lonelygirl15 de ja vu.

An apparently sweet girl making vlogs in her bedroom. She hints at tension between her and her parents. We're already been introduced to a bit of mystery in her second video, when she starts raving on about graveyards and a possible prophecy of her death.

Something about the way she talks makes it seem as if she is acting. It's interesting to note that there's no editing or high production values used. If it is fake, perhaps the people behind it have chosen to do it this way on purpose, to make it seem authentically amateur.

The jury is out on this one I guess, but I'm convinced it's fake.
