Shannon Kringen is a Seattle internet porn model, former stripper, amateur cable access personality, nude model for local art colleges, and former employee of a "massage" facility that was raided for illegal prostitution. She portrays herself as an impverished "artist" on LiveJournal, deviantart and other forums. She receives money, gifts and airline miles from sympathetic readers. She does not notify her food stamp social workers, student aid athorities or IRS of this impressive income.
Seattle cable viewers may recall Kringen's public access show, Goddess Kring, in which she showed half-hour closeups of her genitals, and even removed a used tampon on camera. Kringen promotes herself as a benevolent personality who believes in artistic freedom. She decries "censorship" when she is warned by internet groups to stop spamming her self-promotional material. Alas, the real Kringen is quite different from her image.
"KannonShrigen" was a satire LiveJournal character active from 2005 to early 2010, and was written by a fellow artist. Although Shannon Kringen constantly promotes freedom of speech, she recurrently appealed to LJ moderators for nearly five years to censor the Kannon blog on the basis of harassment, but was unsuccessful as the blog's humorous content did not qualify as harassment by their terms of service. Ever tenacious, Kringen complained about the journal in 2010 on the basis of "impersonation" and finally the Kannon blog was censored by LJ moderators.
Shannon Kringen was arrested and charged with felony stalking and harassment of a female artist in 2008 (King County Superior Court case number 08-2-01357-0).
It's unknown whether the local art colleges and instructors that hired Kringen to model were aware of these issues. Hopefully, now they will be.
