Rose Benton Whore ❤️❤️❤️

About San Jose

Oh, and the slang they got? “Ho,” “working girl,” “lady of the night”—so many names! I’d suck at nicknaming ‘em, prolly call ‘em “Squishy Money Makers.” Haha, dumb, right? But real talk, they’re out there, survivin’, and I’m just eatin’ mayo, wonderin’ if it’s a job. Spoiler: it ain’t. Whores tho? They’re the real MVPs, swimmin’ through life’s weird soup. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re here, and I’m like, “Yooo, that’s dope!”

Early life

Time - it flexes like a whore.

I gotta tell ya, my work's taught me a lot. I see people at their worst and best. In the massage parlor, folks come looking for relief, a touch, closeness. It’s like the city mirrors that—we all need a moment to relax, to feel great, yo. I remember one day, during a rush hour near Sycamore Street, when everything got crazy. Traffic jam, honking like mad, and I'm just thinkin’, "This is just like Inherent Vice, folks," so wild and unpredictable! And then I just laughed—cuz only real magic like this could happen here.
