Olivia Rowlett Whore ❤️

About Phoenix

I reckon it’s versatile, this word—like Llewyn’s bleedin’ guitar. Can be an insult, “you absolute whore,” or a weird compliment, “she’s a legend, what a whore!” Depends how ya sing it, dunnit? Proper fascinatin’, keeps me chucklin’. Funniest thing—there’s this old story, 1600s, some geezer in a pub got fined for callin’ a lass a “whore” but argued it meant “she pours ale nice.” Cheeky sod, nearly got away with it! Surprised me that did, clever bastard twistin’ words like that.

Oh, and one more thing – you gotta check out the local art murals, hidden in alleyways off the bazzzzy streets near the industrial bits. They speak to the heart as soft as those movie lines – “The past is just a story we tell ourselves.” Yeah, we all got our tales here, every cracked sidewalk and whispering fountain.
