Thanks to the Holy Virgin of Juquila for saving me so I wasn’t infected with COVID-19 and STD when I forgot a condom.

I dedicate this retablo to the Brown-skin Mother because, although I’m ugly, I’m a big hit with my clients. I have a lot of work, and I already brought my mommy from the village. We live very well, and I pray to stay safe and healthy every night.

Virgin of Guadalupe, may you be blessed for the luck of meeting a good man who got me from the life of prostitution and abuse, he forgave my past and asked me to marry him.

One more year, my Saint Jude, I ask you to help me in my job as a prostitute so I could retire.

Thank you, Virgin, although I have less clients because of the pandemic, I hope to gather money for the Christmas.

Señorita Daisy Nizzañe gives thanks to the Virgin of Guadalupe because she became a prostitute since February 17, 1999, and she met a lot of people like Blue Panther Jr. who is her client. Amen.

Soledad thanks the Virgin of Guadalupe for she’s back at this corner to work as a whore after she was stabbed by a client who refused to pay for her service. She was between life and death. She brings this retablo showing her gratitude for the received favor.

I do not care what people say, I am a prostitute and I like and enjoy my work. Thank you Mary Magdalene for taking care of me and for so many clients.

There was a colleague of mine who was envious of me because my breast is bigger than hers and for that I got more clients. She was pestering me, and the other night I couldn’t take it no more and we grabbed each other by the hair. I thank Saint Ignatius of Loyola because I won the fight and she stopped bothering me. Now I can work at my corner in peace.

The other night an ugly fat man came to our corner, and no one from my friends wanted to go with him. So we decided to draw straws between us, I lost and had to go with him to the motel. I thank Saint James the Apostle with this exvoto because it went really well, he payed me triple for my services and treated me very good.

Natasha

Thanks, Virgin of Guadalupe, for healing me from a terrible disease that I carelessly caught from a client. I implored her in such a bad situation, and now I’m back to work.
