BREAKING: Samira Wiley Needs a Boo, Eats String Cheese

Yesterday Samira Wiley made everybody’s private parts explode with this announcement regarding her ass requiring warmth:

As if her public declaration regarding needing a special somebody wasn’t enough, today she followed up with a confession that she enjoys the world’s best processed food product, string cheese:

WAIT DON’T CHANGE YOUR PANTS YET. I have some photographs which I feel will be useful as you sit at home pondering your qualifications for boo-dom. If you’d like to win honorary Boo’dom, I invite you to write a haiku for Samira Wiley in the comments or otherwise express your feelings. Just remember that there’s already a Big Boo and a Little Boo, which means you’ll have to be Medium Boo.

  1. Welp. I’m in love. Again.

    Does she fit the qualifications to be in the autostraddle queer hot 100? Cause if so, I expect her to do very well next spring.

    Of course, Kate Moennig has never actually come out to the best of my knowledge and she’s always on it. lol

  2. my computer just lost a very important project file literal SECONDS before i was about to finish with it, and i was really considering throwing it out the window, but then this decided to grace my screen with its presence.

    so thank you for saving me from a very rash decision.

    • I made a follow-up post to this last night, but apparently it didn’t go through (my ISP is garbage), but I was SO UPSET that I spelled her name wrong! I knew it was Samira, but the URL tricked me when I was writing this, and I second-guessed myself. *sob*
