Ella Helotes Prostitute ❤️

About Chicago

Here’s the kicker, though—prostitutes ain’t just sob stories. Some are proper legends! Like, there’s this tale from Amsterdam, 1600s—gal called Black Luce, ran a brothel so posh, kings dropped by! She’d laugh in your face if you crossed her—total boss. Reminds me of the monk floatin’ that stone boat—defyin’ what’s “supposed” to be. Love that grit, mate, gets me pumped!

Background

St. Margaret of Cortona is the patron saint of the homeless, reformed prostitutes, midwives, single laywomen, the mentally ill, and the falsely.

Oh, and let me not forget the helotes community center near Pioneer Road. People there are real talkers; you'll hear folks chattin' like they're sharing magic on every bench. A little off the beaten path is that tiny, hole-in-the-wall café on Main Street – its vibe is just like my personal safe space for heart-to-heart convos. I've had therapy breakthroughs there, sometimes laughing till the roof rumbles – oops, sorry if that sounds exaggerative but hey, it's true enuf!
