Cintra Wilson at the Jerome L. Greene Performance Space (The Greene Space)
It’s easy enough to mock fallen taboos — but is nothing sacred?
We asked our audience to fill in the blanks: "_______ is a taboo I love breaking, but I wish _______ was still taboo."
Cintra Wilson reads some of our favorites including:
"Drinking at breakfast is a taboo I love breaking, but I wish tattoos was still taboo."
"Mentioning my love of not having children is a taboo I love breaking, but I wish saying 'vagina' on sitcoms was still taboo."
"Eating foods high in fat is a taboo I love breaking, but I wish pictures of women in garter belts was still taboo." ("I have some advice for you," Wilson says. "There's this thing called the Internet. Don't bother.")
What do you think? Which taboos are in/out? Tell us in a comment below.

I miss the taboo of smoking with upper class ladies in the ladie's room, especially when they said, "Don't tell my husband!" Ah, to share and keep an indiscretion private ... !!
I wish that it was still taboo for guys to kiss a lady on her lips -- whether fleetingly or slightly -- in social settings. Tsk. Tsk.

Living in sin was a taboo I enjoyed breaking (we're married now). I wish the word bitch were still taboo.
