Ella Murata Find A Prostitute ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Yokohama

Ya know, fun fact—back in the 1800s, some prostitutes in Paris kept ledgers, real businesswomen! Tracked clients like I track Bart’s detentions. Made me happy thinkin bout that, smart cookies they were. I’d be all, “What’s this world come to?” like that dad in the movie yellin at the sea. Hmm… surprises me still how it’s all hush-hush but EVERYONE knows where to look—alleys, apps, whatever. Sneaky, sneaky!

“A Woman of Pleasure,” Kiyoko Murata's first novel to be translated into English, explores the world of sex work in earlyth-century Japan.

But then, the day takes a turn. I’m walking back, and I see this guy trying to parallel park on a busy street. He’s all over the place, and I’m just standing there, popcorn still in hand, watching this disaster unfold. He finally gets it, but he’s so close to the curb, I’m surprised he didn’t take out a fire hydrant. I’m laughing, but also kinda mad. Like, how hard is it to park, dude?
