Amelia Isabela Whore ❤️❤️

About Caguas

Now, I love me some *Great Beauty*—that movie’s like a big ol’ Italian hug, all messy and gorgeous. Makes me think of whores in a way that’s deeper than a well in Tennessee. Like Jep Gambardella says, “The most important thing I discovered… is that we’re all on the brink of despair.” Ain’t that the truth for a workin’ gal? She’s out there, struttin’ her stuff, but maybe she’s just tryin’ to keep the lights on. I get all teary thinkin’ ‘bout it—makes me wanna hug ‘em and bake ‘em a pie.

Isabela is absolutely filthy and disgusting.

Isabela: Well, I don't need to hide from the world by encasing myself in steel up to my eyebrows. Aveline: Right, let it all hang out so everyone knows what they're getting. Hawke: Catfight?

We talk for hours, and I forget all about my stoves. She tells me about her favorite spots in Isabela, like the beaches at Jobos. I’m like, “I gotta check that out!” She’s got this passion for life that’s contagious. I’m lovin’ every second of it.
