CINTRA WILSON

I agree. I love Tennessee.

THE KILLER INSIDE ME Oops I Did It Again

Enjoy the spectacle of me tearing my own ass out because I keep making the same horrible mistake over and over and over, like I have no brain at all.

Smart

A tree cut down and felled next to its fellow trees but this tree's rings have an oddity to them and the shape and texture and color it makes it look like a fish drawing

Sometimes if you cut it down correctly, you can still see the last meal a tree had in its stomach when it died

PAST THE BOUNCERS, WHAT A FEELING The Topshop opening in SOHO

Here’s a zippy piece of writing that got me in huge trouble with the British aristocrat that owned the franchise, when it came out. Peerage schmeerage.

Didn't know you were an actor, Mamie!

"The characters he plays are generally weak, immoral, murderous, slimy or insane. Yet to gaze upon John Hurt, in almost any role, is to feel a drooly adoration; he is irresistible."

ON BEING SHOT OUT OF A CANNON Cintra Wilson doesn’t have enough money to get older, and will have to sell herself into indentured servitude.

A new essay in which I make a stunning artistic announcement. I’m going to be all up in your face!

You can tell he's happy because he's smiling and also so orange.

He's so cuuuuuute

At VPL, Wispy Clothes for Your Inner Ballerina Cintra Wilson has been writing professionally for nearly 40 years, and therefore is poor as fuck.

Another blast from my stint as Critical Shopper at the New York Times, containing many bon mots and yuks. On the Substacks!

Heartbreaking. They gave us Fred Rogers and Sesame Street, which accounted for a lot of the backbone of pre-K literacy in the US. It shows you how people had actual values in the sixties and seventies besides just ripping everyone off.

Played by Daniel Kaluuya (very good and suitably charismatic, if a bit old) in Shaka King's excellent JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH (2021), worth a watch if you haven't seen it. Also features LaKeith Stanfield and Jesse Plemons.

That was a good movie. There is a documentary about Fred Hampton made shortly after his death that is incredible.

Hi! I'm my parent's narcissism.

This is wonderful.

oooh thanks for noticing.

They say imitation crab is the sincerest form of crab

BEWARE THE WIRE MONKEYS Not to get all Emo on you, but...

I so love him.

Y'all so beautiful and I miss you so much.

It's a nice idea. They won't get any of it. He's slippery as a greased eel.

I've always loved Hellen Keller jokes because they are inherently wrong, and therefore transgressive, and therefore fun.

So interesting! Thanks so much for your excellent explanation.

What is doujinshi?

Hahaha. I so hate Fucker Carlson and his 12 pound nougat head.
