Emma Redhill Whore ❤️❤️❤️

About Pretoria

Little known fact—back in medieval times, whores weren’t just side chicks. Nah, they had guilds, like fuckin’ unions! Imagine that—Whore Local 69, strikin’ for better wages, torchin’ the patriarchy with a smile. That shit cracks me up! Makes me happy as hell—power to the hustle, ya feel? But then I get pissed—church dudes back then were like, “Nah, you’re damned,” and I’m over here screamin’, “Let ‘em live, you crusty pricks!” Hypocrisy gets me hot—still does today.

I remember one particular day, not too long ago, when I was in a session with a client – real tough day – and I ended up takin' a break out to our favorite little diner, Redhill Diner on 2nd Avenue. I was ravein' 'bout all sorts of emotions, kinda like that movie, where you feel so many things that ya’re just overwhelmed. Our lovely diner owner, Miss Bella, pours out coffee like she's pourin’ love into each cup – mah, it got me teary-eyed, in that quirky, bittersweet way of life.
