A Hard Sell: Chicago for Cynthia 2011
This is a blog about sex, yes, but it is also about the place I call home, the city dearest to my heart: Chicago, IL. Chi-town is a city of politics. And I am pleased to say that now I can write an article about sex in Chicago politics that is not involving some politician’s stupid infidelity scandal.
You are probably aware that our mayor of the past bajillion years, Daley the Jr., is resigning. This man has in charge of running our city- be it loyally, lovingly, loudly, or shadily- for most of my memory. And now he’s stepping down, and just about everybody else is stepping up to replace him.
Including, I have learned recently, a certain woman name Cynthia P. Caster. Famous in some circles, and certainly admired by me, this is Ms. Caster’s first foray into politics. Caster is best known “for her work as an artist and iconic status as a rock n’ roll groupie.” A native Chicagoan, Caster’s interests in art and rock ‘n’ roll in the late 60’s led her to her life’s work: making plaster casts of rock stars’ cocks and, more recently, boobs.
Caster (the middle initial stands for “Plaster,” of course) is now changing her ways, and calls herself a “recovering groupie.” She’s passionate about our fair city, and seems to be creating a real campaign. Her campaign site (http://www.chicagoforcynthia.com) looks professional and patriotic, a far cry from her other official website, with menu buttons shaped like squirting penises (http://www.cynthiaplastercaster.com/index.html) . No, Caster is serious now. She’s running on a platform that she’s “hard on crime.” Really.
I’m not sure if I’ll vote for Cynthia, although it would be great to have a woman in office running this City of Big Shoulders. But if she’s really going for it, I’m certainly interested to see how she does. I’ll totally attend a rally. You see, I’m quite in love with Jimi Hendrix. In the heights of teenage angst, I used to lie on the floor staring up at my best friend’s spinning disco ball, wishing I’d been born earlier so I could’ve met Jimi. I swore that, had I the chance, I would have followed him around the world until I finally got to fuck the legend. And, while Caster claims she didn’t sleep with him, she definitely has a trophy to prove that at least she touched his hard dick. It looks pretty magnificent.
So, while I vote tomorrow for other important key figures in American politics, I’ll really be thinking about our next upcoming election. Caster says she cares about the people of Chicago, and I believe her. Maybe she could be the change Chicago needs. I’ll keep looking into Cynthia’s political progress.
In her own words, “So, townspeople! The skies are ablaze with Plasterness! Ooooh! Aaaah!”
Vote tomorrow!
Xoxo, Lucy
