Penelope Dix Hills Whore ❤️❤️

About Phoenix

But then, I get pissed, right? ‘Cos folks still spit “whore” like it’s dirt. Grace in the movie, she’s used, beaten down, called worse—made my blood boil. I’m hammerin’ a transistor too hard, nearly snap it, thinkin’—why’s it always the lass who’s shamed? Blokes pay, but she’s the filth? Bollocks! Reminds me of that line, “They made me a whore!”—Grace screamin’ it, and I’m noddin’, like, yeah, love, I see ya.

This is my ten favorite films of all time about prostitutes. It is an incredibly good sub-genre and I am surprised no one else really bothers to celebrate it.

Y'know what makes me mad sometimes? When folks think bein’ quiet means there ain’t no juicy gossip here. Naw, boo, I got eyes everywhere. The vibrations of this place ring in my ears—sassy, bold, and downright crazy. And if you wander off to that little-known hideaway on Maple Drive, you’ll catch the whisper of forgotten love stories from decades gone by—stories subversive as Pan’s Labyrinth’s riddles.
