There used to be a bloke

Art by van Rijn

There used to be a bloke in Fitzroy who had a fetish for soiled women’s undies. He would walk the streets with a garbage bag and buy used panties off the whores. 

I’m not sure how much the girls charged him per pair, but rumour has it, if the panties were crusty – he was prepared to pay more. 

I recently returned to Fitzroy after moving out of the suburb a decade ago.

And was SHOCKED to discover that ‘used panties’ have now been replaced by middle class mommies. 

RIP Fitzroy.
