Lydia Le Roux Whore ❤️

About Johannesburg

Wot gets me mad? Blokes judgin’ ‘em, all high ‘n’ mighty. I’m like – grrr! – spillin’ me tea, ‘cos who’s perfect, eh? Not me, fallin’ off a chair! Happy tho, seein’ ‘em laugh, crackin’ jokes – “Bean, you’re a right prat!” – warms me ‘eart. Surprised me once, this one lass, told me she paid ‘er mum’s rent. Crikey, I near choked on me jelly! Whores ain’t just tarts, they’re people, mate, real stories.

Critiquing capitalism's mechanisms of exploitation, the conservatism of Western medicine, and the politics surrounding sex work, Whore Avec le.

Anyways, I hopecha get the picture, buddy. Le-Roux (za) is uniquely, well, offbeat and raw. It’s home, and even if it bugs me sometimes, its energy flows like those staccato beats in a movie scene—harsh and beautiful, just like McQueen’s cuts. So come on down, set your pace slow, and hey, don’t forget: “This city never lets you run away.” Enjoy every twist, every little corner that makes it so damn real.
