Strumpette's Identity Confirmed with Evidence Herein - Brian Connolly of Furthermore Inc.
So as per my gut and my posted yesterday where I theorized that Strumpette was a dude "Strumpette - PR Blogger Meets Dude Looks Like a Lady" I had to do a little digging this morning.
So far, all signs point to Brian Connolly as the "dude" or he at least has some connection with Amanda Chapel.
Here's the process:
The post from an alleged Amanda Chapel on my blog left an IP address of 24.136.10.126.
So, we got IP - looks like an fixed IP address from a home cable modem service out of Chicago.
A little mapping app...not exact but approximate but it's pointing the same direction - close to the location shown in the WHOIS record for the domains below.
So, we got what appears to be a fixed IP address from a residential location, is there any history with the IP we can associate with anyone?
Yup...
And if that weren't enough, the Strumpette site is using the Furthermore DNS!!! Now that's just making it no sport at all ...
Dude looks like a lady!!!!

Nice work. Probably would have been easier to read some of the threads. I've openly addmitted to hosting the Strumpette site, as well as providing technical assistance to Ms. Chapel. We also share an IP address through RCN.
Regards,
Brian Connolly

Ah, a visit from the pimp daddy himself. I'm honoured...
I should have taken the time to do this the other day. It would have been more fun to lay out the mounting evidence the same day the whole thing got up.
Anyhow, I still don't buy the separation between Connolly and the character - but nice work nonetheless. It was fun...

Okay- I'm totally impressed with the investigating reporting.
But does this mean, definitively, that Brian has perfect boobs?

Perhaps Brian is the 'boss' that Ms Chapel sleeps with???

Be that as it may, Brian is more than just a reseller to Strumpette:
