introducing kimberly. i can already hear you boys out there unbuckling your belts but before you continue, i feel it my duty to warn you of her situation. as it turns out, every hooker has a heartbreaking story. kimberly was abandoned by her parents and eventually turned to shabu (aka crystal meth) for comfort. essentially, she sells her 15 year old body for drugs. yes, 15 years old. now you have all the information, defile away you unmitigated sexual deviants.

the philippines is a difficult place to meet traveling foreigners so often i find myself sitting alone. whether it's at a restaurant, beach or brothel, let's just say, i have a lot of time for introspection. in many cultures, a solo traveler is someone to pity. however, the average "joe citizen" prefers to maintain his distance. enter children, touts and those in the sex trade. i've met so many prostitutes during my travels, i feel like a member of the US armed forces, particularly those filthy navy seamen (they from port to port, ya know?).

i originally met kimberly in Dumaguete through a mutual prostitute friend. i assure you i neither payed for her 15 y/o services (or any prostitution services, ever) nor asked her for these pictures. i was surreptitiously taking pictures of some sad old western dudes in the bar when she felt it necessary to strip for me. she's wacked i tell ya, wacked. but my heart goes out to her and anyone in a similar situation that are forced to be violated by old white men to earn enough money to get high.

footnote: no prostitutes were harmed while taking these pictures and her antics actually seemed entertain nearly everyone in the bar. except for me. i was scurred.
