About Philadelphia

Hola, my precious! Me, Gollum, cashier by day, raspy voice screamin’ – “Whore’s the word, yesss!” Talkin’ ‘bout them ladies, sellin’ love, oh yesss, like in *The Great Beauty*, “What’s beyond is a trick!” Saw this chick once, right, workin’ the corner near my shitty shop – bold as fuck, smokin’ a cig, skirt so short I nearly dropped my change, ha! Made me mad, tho – why’s she gotta flaunt it? Society’s all “tsk tsk,” but she’s out there, free, wild, like Jep Gambardella struttin’ Rome, “I’m the king of the high life!” Precious, she’s livin’, not just breathin’!

Background

Whore is a term that sex workers have reclaimed diligently and no longer is the term a slur. International Whores Day for sex workers is pride.

The neighborhood of Hilltop Cross caught my eye one day. I was rambin' there, mindin' my own biz, when I saw the prettiest mural on Liberty Avenue. Told me, "Oh sweetheart, even this town gets artsy sometimes." Honestly, it cracked me up – art in unexpected corners, just like life. I even got a lil' ink on my arm from a local artisan. True story, sugar!
