Avery Shimada Whore ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Kyoto

So, whores, man, they’re like—people who get paid for smoochin’ and stuff! I saw this in *Moulin Rouge!* with Satine, that fancy lady, all glittery and sad. She’s a whore, sorta, but she’s got HEART, y’know? “Come what may,” she sings, and I’m like, “Wow, she’s brave!” Makes me happy, ‘cause she’s all shiny, but then—BOOM—she dies! That made me so mad, I threw my jellyfish net at the TV! Why’s she gotta go, huh? Is glitter an instrument? No, but it should be!

The Life of Yoko Shimada: Struggles with Love and Debt

Sharing the nest with performance artist / prostitute BuBu, the art conversation quickly moved to two social issues the work raises in Japan.

Finally, the rain stops, and I make a break for it. I’m walking back to my place, and I can’t help but smile. Shimada is wild, man. It’s got this vibe, you know? The streets, the people, the food. I’m exhausted but happy.
