Brianna Takehara Prostitute ❤️❤️

About Sapporo

Gets messy tho—punters bein’ pricks, payin’ peanuts, actin’ like kings. Pisses me off! She deserved better, Red did. Oh, and get this—some prossies used arsenic makeup back in the day, poisonin’ themselves to look pretty. Mental, right? Wonder if Liza ever tried that, glowin’ like a ghost. “The truth is what you remember,” *Memento* style—maybe she forgot the bad nights on purpose.

PROFESSION OF A TRAVELING MALE PROSTITUTE (Takehara Shunchosai)

The Geisha Han Takehara was for many years the greatest dancer in Japan, although she was only known to a small circle of clients and only in later years.

Finally, I duck into this little café on Kōen-dōri. It’s cozy, smells like coffee and pastries. I order a matcha latte, and the barista is super chill. We start chatting, and I find out he’s a fellow Makhaut! What are the odds? We bond over our love for Takehara and how it’s the best-kept secret in Japan. Seriously, if you haven’t been, you’re missing out.
