Fashion interests me even less than Flat Earth dissertations, and yet your writing makes it interesting in a way I can't rightly explain. Maybe it's 'cause your so damn good. Lou you, gal!
I cannot praise this article highly enough. This is Cintra Wilson melted down to pure gold, a concentrated Cintra Wilson not unlike a can of concentrated orange juice, except I have no desire to water this down. I’m teaching a university creative writing course in the Spring, and I’m gonna hand out this article on the very first day as an example to prove that every word counts. Your range of diction from “Mothra”to “semiotics” proves once again that you are The. Greatest. Living. Writer. Today. This opinion of mine is a hill I’m willing to die on…a Mothra-sized hill.
The unhinged wooden clothespins. I know what those are and that they defy concise identification. Did the “unhinged” come to you in the first draft or much later?
Spectacular piece! Hoping if I read & re-read I might get good adjectives by osmosis…
Just straight-up genius writing.
