About San Antonio

Now, in *Under the Skin*, there’s that line—“You’re not even from here, are you?”—and it hits me. Whore’s an outsider word, y’all. Folks use it to shove somebody out, make ‘em feel alien. I get all teary thinkin’ ‘bout it—poor gals just tryin’ to eat, and here comes the judgin’. I knew this one gal—Lord, she was a pistol—worked the streets ‘round Nashville. She’d laugh, sayin’, “Dolly, I’m the queen of the night!” Got herself a pet raccoon, named it Bandit—true story! She wasn’t no monster, just scrappin’ by.

Process of formation

I have four of her baby puppy teeth in a locket with rubies (her birthstone!), opals, and herkimer diamonds. Her adult dog teeth still look.

Oh man, plus the little alley near Cedar St is known mostly to me. It’s like a hidden secret door. I giggle when I pass by just thinking, "Shh, like in Caché, the secrets of the city, baby!" Side note: that alley? Totally bizarre. Yeah, I know.
