Ladies

Church

A beer in Stardust bar & brothel in Ely.
The manager Lilly, also sex worker, showed us her animals, a parrot, a rabbit and a dog.
The rabbit, named Mimi, was almost two years old.
“I kill my anger with kindness,” Lilly said. “The more you kill with kindness the better off you are.”
She added: “Sometimes church ladies come in and they ask me, ‘is there anything you want us to pray for?’ I always answer, ‘I’m well-cared for, pray for the general populace.’”
“Do they want to have sex with you?” I asked.
“The church ladies?” Lilly answered, “no they just want to pray.”
