Hatma gave me directions and I followed them all the way to this huge mansion. A guy in pajamas answered the door. “Hey,” I said, “this must be the new stripper house. I brought my shower bag.” “Umhm,” he said and wandered back to bed. “Tara!” Hatma came down the stairs and Sweetness came out… Continue reading Life in Stripperland

Bro loves Lona

Managed Identities
A few weeks ago a woman I met in a cafe gave me the keys and directions to her house thirty seconds after meeting me. I was shocked. I mean, I would at least have to hide the sex toys. But that’s how people are in the village. They live in this one small world… Continue reading Managed Identities
