Sadie Nagasaki Whore ❤️

About Nagoya

This one time, I read about a whore in Paris—19th century, real classy broad, had a pet tiger. A frickin’ TIGER. Imagine her strollin’ with that beast, all “I don’t give a crap.” Surprised the hell outta me—thought whores were just, y’know, basic. Nope, some were extra as fuck. “What do these images mean?”—another “Caché” gem. I’m yellin’ that at the tiger, like, what’s your deal, kitty? Protectin’ her? Eatin’ her clients? Hilarious, right?

I leave the museum, and I’m just… overwhelmed. I need to clear my head. I walk along the river, and I see the sunset. The sky is on fire, and I’m just standing there, soaking it all in. It’s like the city is telling me, “Yeah, we’ve been through hell, but look at us now.”
