Ella Torello Whore ❤️❤️

About Barcelona

So, whores, right? Been around forever, swear it! Oldest job, they say – older than fish, older than me precious ring! Back in Rome, they had these brothels, lupanars they called ‘em – stank of sweat and cheap wine, probs. Girls painted their faces, danced for crusty ol’ senators. We hates it! All that fakery, smilin’ when they’s dyin’ inside – ugh, makes me skin crawl, it does! But – sneaky fact – some whores got power, yesss. Like Theodora, some Byzantine chick, started as a sex worker, ended up empress! Ruled the damn empire, she did – makes me cackle, thinkin’ ‘bout it!

CRIME STORY: BLAST FROM THE PAST (TV)

Oh, and check this – on the edge, near the forgotten Bridge of Echoes, you find a secret spot. I used to sit there and spill thoughts aloud, watching folks pass by. The river’s murmur got me thinkin’ deep about life’s loops, cycles, and a bit of that existential grind like in “The Turin Horse” – “The world has no end”. Mad, huh?
