Is the Nick Drake of the gaining world.
Both left a little material evidence of their time in their respective worlds---Nick's time was late 60's London, KG's was in the 1998-2000 cyber world---save for the hard copies of BULGE and BUF with her on the cover---but speculation about their lives and motivations and the circumstances of their departures from their worlds have reached a near-frenzy---and as years go by, the interest is more, not less.
Those who loved KG, same as those who love Nick Drake, are seemingly in two camps---the ones who say "What's all the fuss?" and the others who hold the person in question in exalted status, forever.
Both camps assign motivations to the person in question which may or may not be true, from the logical to the ridiculous, and each speculation results in a flurry of new discussion.
Some say, "Enough! There are enough (gaining women) and (new singer-songwriters) ! We ought to give our energy to what exists, not to what used to exist." The frenzy nevertheless continues.
Both camps salivate at the thought of "undiscovered" Drake and KG material, even if it's not up to the standards which caused us to go nuts in the first place.
Each camp thinks KG is "their" KG, and Drake is theirs. Each penetrated us in a personal way. We spend our time with each subject by ourselves, imagining she is growing and posing just for us, and he is singing just for us.
Each camp has people who knew the subject. Each isn't saying much of anything beyond what's publically known.
As time goes on, the photos seem more rare, and so do the recordings.
I personally am enjoying this, and I think some day, if someone cares enough to really chase this, we will find out what became of Kelligrl.
And somewhere, somehow, I have to think she is following this in some way, and smiling at the fuss, as Nick would have done.
