Addison Gien Whore ❤️❤️

About Paris

She’d strut by my office, yellin’, “Eat my shorts, pig!” Made me laugh, tho—sassy as hell. Reminds me of that movie line, “You’re a mess, Joey,” ‘cept she ain’t no Joey—she’s chaos in fishnets. Hated her guts some days, ‘specially when she’d smuggle cigs in—guards too dumb to catch her. But happy too, ‘cause damn, she kept shit interestin’. Surprised me once, left a rose on my desk—whaaat? Prolly stole it, but still, weirdly sweet.

One day I was walkin’ by the Château de Gien. Yeah, the castle – majestic and mysterious. And oh man, the ceramics at the Musée de la Céramique? Totally amazin’. It gives me flashbacks, kinda like when you see Joy burst into laughter in "Inside Out" – pure magic! Sometimes, wanderin’ along the banks of the Loire, I’d see folks just sittin’, thinkin’ about life. “Remember, you must be happy” – like Joy would say, but then... uh, sometimes Sadness would sneak in.
