Wow, Cintra Wilson's discussion of which variety of expensive objects one might put in and around one's vagina today in the New York Times is kind of amazing. @12:10 PM 12
Real America with Abe Sauer: A Visit to New York City's JC Penney @4:23 PM
In August, Cintra Wilson wrote a Critical Shopper column for the New York Times. The subject was JC Penney's Manhattan store. There was a stir. While recently in New York, I dropped by the JC Penney in question with a copy of her column to do a big, fat fact-check. READ MORE 60
ALERT: Ann Taylor For Reals Not Fug. @9:45 AM
Cintra Wilson wrote an alarmingly glowing review of Ann Taylor for the Critical Shopper column and part of me totally thought this was an act of contrition, penance for her J.C. Penney write-up that got all the REAL AMERICANS aggy and made them gravy their pants in an bingo-winged uproar. But then, and not only because I maybe thought I saw Bret Michaels in the street in the Flatiron district, I went IN to Ann Taylor-not even the flagship mind you-and lo (or LOFT) it was good.

Fat-Averse Cintra Wilson Is Back! @9:24 AM
Buddhist shopping specialist (she is sort of like the Muslim bacon expert) Cintra Wilson is back on the hoof today, with a new Times Critical Shopper column. After a light stupid spanking from the criminally milquetoast Times public editor Clark Hoyt on Sunday—he doesn't understand the difference between sarcasm, indignation, irony and description, nor does he have any idea what the paper's goals are, though he reveals that neither does Times exec editor Bill Keller, really, another episode that exhibits how Keller is out of touch with much of the day-to-day operations of the paper—over her column on how J.C. Penney is overtly in favor of enormous people, she is back and heaping praise on celebrity homosexual potter Jonathan Adler. Oh Jonathan Adler. His work-product I find kitschy and repellent and irrelevant; Cintra finds it kitschy and delightful and purchasable. Outrageous! Why does Cintra Wilson find emaciated and expensive homosexual housegoods so alluring? Please go crucify her on her blog. And when is Clark Hoyt's term up? He is boring me to death, which is the biggest crime of all. Let's go to his blog and call him a slut. 9
The Great Fat Freakout @9:28 AM
I have been sitting on my stoop in the East Village this morning like an old Polish woman and I have counted exactly zero guys with pot bellies, even though this is the hot new trend, according to the elitist New York Times. Here is the thing: Manhattan is an incredibly trim place, on the most part. Last night I was walking by Gramercy Park and I was behind a large group of people who were clearly from out of town, and I could tell only because of two things: they were wearing amazingly cheap clothing and they were, well, a large group of people! That is a fine choice for them! I am not here to judge. For one thing, the food in America is terrible, horrible, disgusting "food" and really there is nothing for them to eat that is healthy. The problem is that we are kind of not allowed to even mention it. And so writer Cintra Wilson, who is well-known as a TOTALLY CRAZY person, is in big trouble now. READ MORE 91
