Violet Carousel View Prostitute ❤️

About Bloemfontein

They’re everywhere, shadows of cities. Oldest job, still kicking—fact: Romans taxed ‘em, called it “vectigal.” History’s whores, unstoppable. Pisses me off tho—politicians preach purity, then sneak off to ‘em. Hypocrites. Belfort’d say, “Money talks, bullshit walks,” and he’s damn right. Cash rules their world, no mercy.

I'm so glad they expanded the carousel to 20 slides because I really enjoyed @ethelmermaid 's short historical review of sex worker memoirs/.

Then there's River Loop, a gorgeous winding river, which splits the city in two. Its banks are lined with little cafes and art installations. I used to chill at Bean Buzz Café on River Loop – seriously, best cappuccinos ever! Plus, Gritty Park is right nearby. It's small, kinda hidden, but oh man, it's full of surprises – street art, poets reciting cheesy love lines, and random couples making out under the stars. Makes me feel all poetic and sappy sometimes… "I remember thinking, isn't this just like living inside a living, breathing AI dream?" Totally Spike Jonze vibe, no?
