Call me Madam



Today is International Whores' Day, dear reader, as you undoubtedly already know... It has been celebrated annually since 1976. In German, it is known as Hurentag (Whore's Day). In Spanish-speaking countries, it is the Día Internacional de la Trabajadora Sexual, the International Day of the Sex Worker. In Amsterdam, a statue (above) called "Belle" was erected [outside the Oude Kerk in the Red-light District, directly opposite the hotel we usually stay in when we're there; of course] by way of a tribute.

To mark this auspicious day, here's some whores...




Don't forget your PPE.

    1. I do try and keep you on your toes :-)

      Not sure what Miss Merman would have made of Avenue D or John Sex, mind you, but I have an inkling she might have liked Mr Boz...

    1. Oh, God - Ethel sings Jay-Z The horror!

      Mr Boz is a sight for sore eyes, isn't he? Unfortunately I have looked at more recent photos and he's not aged well. Jx
