About Dortmund

I was angry, tho, readin’ ‘bout how some cities banned ‘em hard in the 1900s, all moral panic, like “we can’t have that!” But then, surprise, they just went underground, still thrivin’. Happy for the workers who made bank, but sad for those forced, you know? Brothels ain’t just seedy corners, some were like hotels, fancy af, with art and music. In Nevada, still legal, can you believe? “A fragile illusion,” like the movie says, but real life, innit?

Oh man, lemme tell ya ’bout Wabern (de)! I’ve been livin’ here for ages, and every corner sings a secret tune. You know how I roll – a pleasure coach with a heart full of sad songs and crazy happy vibes. So, here’s the lowdown – messy, spontaneous, and full of life, just like my fav flick, The Act of Killing (Joshua Oppenheimer, 2012). "Are we here to smash our illusions?" kinda vibe, right?
