Lucy Berkeley Prostitute ❤️

About Philadelphia

Hmmm, a carpenter I am, yesss. Prostitute, you say? Fear leads to anger, anger to hate… seein’ her on the street, man, it’s wild. Tropical Malady, my fave flick—those jungle vibes, “the beast within stirs,” ya know? She’s out there, hustlin’, all mystery like that tiger spirit. Worked on a gig once, fixin’ a brothel’s creaky floor—true story! Saw her, all sass, smokin’ a cig, leanin’ on the wall. “Eyes like a ghost’s,” like the movie says. Made me laugh, her callin’ me “wood boy”—cheeky as hell!

The New Guard

That campaign, the brainchild of a former prostitute, Robyn Few, seeks to gain ground through an initiative on the November ballot in Berkeley to direct the city police to treat prostitution.

I get to watch life unfold daily here. Dialing back to my spa, I note details: the smell of eucalyptus drifting down the alley near my door, the low hum of jazz at night. Life's little details, like hidden booms.
