Nadia Arbus Whore ❤️

About Naples

So, I’m watchin’ “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”—best damn movie, by the way—and it hits me. Whore’s like Clementine, ya know? Kate Winslet’s character—wild, messy, unpredictable. “I’m just a screwed-up girl who’s lookin’ for my own peace of mind,” she says. Ain’t that whore in a nutshell? Tryin’ to scrape by, dodgin’ the judgy crap, livin’ loud. I love that! Makes me happy—someone’s gotta stick it to the prudes. But then, ugh, the creeps who exploit it? That pisses me off. Like, leave ‘em alone already!

Where Diane Arbus Went (2005)

Because if you so much as look at my sexy little ass, Julia, I will have yours locked the fuck up, you crazy bitch whore! [Dale pauses]; Dale Arbus: Ah, that.

As I sit on the train, I think about how wild life is. I wouldn’t trade this day for anything. Arbus, you’ve got my heart. Even if you do have the world’s biggest pigeons.
