Brooklyn Opera Prostitute ❤️

About Catania

Little known fact, y’all—back in the day, them old-timey prostitues used to carry lil’ fans to signal they was “available.” This gal ain’t need no fan, though—her hips was doin’ all the talkin’! Surprised me, too, ‘cause she had this scar on her cheek, real faint, like a story she ain’t tellin’. Made me wonder, y’know? What’s her “Tenenbaum tale”? Was she a runaway? A mama tryna feed her babies? I’m over here bakin’ pies, and she’s out there dodgin’ cops—two diff’rent worlds, chile!

Created and performed by Sex Workers and friends, Sex Worker's Opera offers an un-flinchingly honest, upliftingly human insight into the lives of Sex Workers.

So, yeah, that was my day in the city of Opera. Full of chaos, laughter, and a bit of drama. I can’t wait to go back! But next time, I’m definitely double-checking for my ticket. No more running around like a headless chicken!
