Emily Mansfield Center Whore ❤️

About New York City

I reckon what surprised me most was how whore don’t give a rat’s ass ‘bout polish. It’s messy, rough—like Yubaba’s cackle, all jagged edges. And I love it! Reminds me o’ that line, “Somethin’ you wouldn’t recognize—it’s called love.” Whore’s got heart, y’all, even if it’s glitchy as hell. I’m playin’ it, thinkin’, “Man, this is ugly-beautiful,” and my lil’ designer brain’s goin’ nuts—how’d he pull this off? Prolly cried a river when it shipped, too. I’d’a hugged him, but I’d spill my sweet tea.

The Whore of Akron isn't just that story. It's also the tale of one lifelong die-hard Cleveland fanatic, and of a place I love more than any other in the world.

I luv this city – it's messy, it's real, it's like a puzzle missing some pieces yet perfect in its imperfection. I'm always prancing around its streets, my mind brimming with odd stories and heartfelt memories. And yeah, sometimes missin a step or two – whoops, gotta say: thsi city, its vibe, it messes with you (in an awesome way)!
