“Marilyn Manson gave me the security in knowing I was not alone.”
This article was previously published on November 11, 2020 as an exclusive for CULT members.
Today marks the 20th anniversary of Marilyn Manson’s Holy Wood — an album that needs no introduction.
We wanted to do something special for our CULT members to celebrate the occasion. Any site can do a retrospective album review, but where’s the fun in that? Sometimes, you have to spice things up.
Enter Cinnamon Anarchy, a gothic alt model and adult entertainer who’s been making black hearts flutter for years. As it turns out, she’s a big fan of dark musicians, particularly the Antichrist Superstar himself: Marilyn Manson.
Without further ado, let’s take a peek into the mind of Manson acolyte Cinnamon Anarchy:
DARKNESS CALLING: When did you first discover darker music and know that it was a good fit for you? What was that experience like, and what are some of those earliest musical memories?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: Dark music touched me in a deep way when I was thirteen. I remember having a particularly crappy day at school where a boy giggled at my chest and said, “You have big boobies.” At this point, I had no clue what he was talking about, but I realized really quick that there is just no easy way to be a very busty, awkward, young teenage girl.
On the bus ride home, a senior girl that sat next to me could tell I had a rough day, and she let me share her headphones. I listened to Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson the whole ride home. Something clicked as the lyrics, “Now doesn’t it make you feel better?” [“March of the Pigs” by Nine Inch Nails] gave me that realization.
She took me to my first Manson concert (the Antichrist Superstar tour). She also helped me realize that my body was all I needed to get anything I wanted and more. She ended up becoming my first kiss, my first sexual encounter. She started me on a path of musical and sexual liberation. With her, I had my first musical awakening.
DARKNESS CALLING: Was that bus ride home your first encounter with Marilyn Manson?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: Actually, I was nine when I first saw Marilyn Manson on MTV — back when they actually played real music. It was the “Lunchbox” video. Seeing that kid get bullied and pushed around really touched a soft spot. Marilyn Manson gave me the security in knowing I was not alone. It was solace to me when I had a rough day.
It is my belief that everyone could stand to listen to some Marilyn Manson. After all, we all feel oppressed by someone, at some point in our lives. Manson’s music is made for the martyrs that get tyrannized by society. From the moment I heard Marilyn Manson, I was addicted. Like Manson, I always wanted to be the kind of super-heroine that thwarted the antagonists abusing those who live outside of societal norms.
DARKNESS CALLING: Today marks the twentieth anniversary of Holy Wood. What are some of your favorite tracks on that album, and why?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: That album is GREAT. It has a heavy, glam rock façade. Manson is just all-encompassing with this album. I honestly think it was one of the best releases in all of 2000. Unfortunately, it got cloistered by Eminem’s controversial content [Eminem’s “Stan” was released that same year] and this album is, in its entirety, wholly underappreciated and uncredited! This album didn’t get the press it should have.
“Cruci-fiction In Space” has such an industrial assimilation; Manson lends the Antichrist Superstar feel with his guttural voice parallel to his earlier albums. The guitar is carnal. The bass is methodical — almost militant. I enjoyed the likeness to David Bowie. Manson has a knack for provoking goosebumps!
“Target audience (Narcissus Narcosis)” is one of the most underrated tracks of the album.
“Lamb of God” is such a vampish song, with the acoustic guitar just a few power chords off from being “Hurt” by Nine Inch Nails.
“The Nobodies” is one of my favorite songs to listen to while getting ready for a shoot or doing makeup, because it is just so sensual and seductive.
DARKNESS CALLING: I imagine there’s some correlation between your affinity for darker vibes in music and the darkness you bring to your image / your presence in the adult entertainment scene. Are there any thoughts you could share about this?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: Marilyn Manson has always been my inspiration in my fetish work, from the costumes he wore throughout the years (goth, military, glamour, feathers) long pin straight hair, black leather, corsets, dark thick eyeliner, contacts. I always wanted to emulate his look, his cult mentality.
He is a walking, breathing sex symbol that oozes eroticism. From pissing on thousands in the audience, to coming out on stage with a strap-on. Everything “Manson” is just so provocative, androgynous, and charismatic! I have always tried to indulge my audience, contravening rules, diving headfirst into what some would perceive as utterly repugnant, indulging my fans’ taboos — all because of Manson’s archetype.
DARKNESS CALLING: When did you decide to become “Cinnamon Anarchy” and how liberating was the transformation?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: My turning point came when I ended a nine-year marriage. I was subjugated. I had married the most normal vanilla (without kink) person alive. I felt trapped in a “stepford wife” deathloop. I was so sexually and mentally disheartened. I found Fetlife.com and it made me realize that I wasn’t the only sexually repressed person out there. In fact, it is a VERY deep, strong, close-knit community. They — along with the music — helped shape me into who I am today.
The thought process behind “Cinnamon” is the strongest aphrodisiac known to mankind, second only to vanilla (which I definitely am not). “Anarchy” represents my disdain for the ordinary, contumacious outlook on authority. No gods, no masters. Cinnamon Anarchy was the chaotic, whimsical guise I desperately needed. She was the catalyst at this vulnerable time in my life. As the transformation took place, I saw tiny fragments of all my favorite rockstars bleeding through. I had finally felt it was okay to show “the real me” that I had been hiding for so many years.
DARKNESS CALLING: In “real life,” do you listen to any particular music when you have sex? What kinds of things would be on your “fuck playlist”?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: This is a tough one. I suppose it would depend on the partner and the mood. My slow, intimate sex playlist includes albums like Type-O-Negative’s October Rust and Nine Inch Nails’ Ghost V and Ghost VI. A primal, deep, hot-and-heavy fuck session soundtrack would encompass Manson’s Smells Like Children, Holy Wood — anything Manson. NIN’s Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine…
There are way more than this, though. I love letting the other person pick the music. Occasionally, it adds to the excitement. For my clients looking to be entirely obliterated during a Femdom session, Danny Elfman’s music usually does the trick.
DARKNESS CALLING: Thank you so much for sharing this side of yourself with us. What’s the best way for newcomers to learn more (and see more) of Cinnamon Anarchy?
CINNAMON ANARCHY: My comprehensive media list is here. I do have quite a few of my “consensual lifestyle slaves” tending the majority of my media outlets, as I film custom taboo content daily. I can’t always guarantee everywhere you try to reach out to me will be “the” Cinnamon Anarchy, but I try my best to be cordial and friendly to each and every fan I encounter. After all, I am nothing without my friends and fans out there. That being said, I do have an insane cult following, but I do always drop in on my 0nlyFans, Fetlife, and P0rnhub followers. They are my babies! I always tend to those outlets first.
