Cindy Sherman's Instagram Proves She Might Be Just Like Us, After All
EntertainmentCindy Sherman—the photographer and artist known for pretending to be people she’s not long before everyone on the Internet started doing that—is a real weirdo. Over the course of her nearly 40-year career photographing herself as clowns, aging socialites, and old-school film stars, she’s been a master at transforming herself into characters.
So while I know Cindy Sherman is brilliant, I don’t really know much about her as a person. The real her without all the wigs. That is, until, she made her Instagram public for the first time this week and that’s when I learned who the real Cindy is. This is everything I learned about her from her ‘gram.
Her original handle was “misterfriedas_mom” a reference to the fact that she is an adoring single mom to her pet parrot named Mister Frieda.
He seems like a well-adjusted young man.
Just like the rest of us, she facetunes her photos. Ya know, for a little blemish-covering here and there.
Casual!
