The Drag Race Pentina Project
I decided I needed to learn Russian;
there was this hooker I had been talking with: she always wore red-- but I could tell she wasn’t as flexible in English. We were talking at the corner and she split for no reason. I then learned she had to do a split to make it into her sorority. She was rushing and the challenge was to prove how flexible you were, because college girls are silly, that, and hooking doesn’t pay the bills. She read me for filth, as I had claimed to be well read and I couldn’t even tell her who split from the Three Musketeers. Was I looking down on her for being a hooker? In the end, that’s why I decided to learn Russian, to show I can be flexible in mind, and not rigid. I have to cave to her flexible level, fluid in mind and body. I took to wearing red, in honor of her russian heritage. I offered to take her out for a banana split, but she declined, saying she had some hooking to do. I never bought her services as a hooker. I just knew that as her trade. I knew she was more flexible than what the word hooker encompassed. She split away from the stereotype and spat in the face of those that said they couldn’t be well read. I never ended up learning Russian.
