Punainen Mekko by Elina Tiilikka

Why clean others mess when you can make ten times the money by selling your body? This is what Elina Tiilikka apparently asked, and couldn’t find a good enough answer. Punainen Mekko is her journey through the time when there were no tomorrows.

If you have been in prostitution, you do not have tomorrow in your mind, because tomorrow is a very long time away. You cannot assume that you will live from minute to minute. You cannot and you do not. If you do, then you are stupid, and to be stupid in the world of prostitution is to be hurt, is to be dead. No woman who is prostituted can afford to be that stupid, such that she would actually believe that tomorrow will come.
