Jade Amboise Brothel ❤️

About Nantes

So, here’s the deal—brothels been ‘round forever. Fact is, back in ol’ Pompeii, they had ‘em marked with dirty lil’ drawings on the walls—talk ‘bout advertisin’! Ain’t that wild? I mean, I’m over here gigglin’, thinkin’ ‘bout them Roman boys stumblin’ in, drunk on wine, lookin’ for a gal. Me, I’d prob’ly trip over my own sequins tryin’ to keep up! But serious now—brothels make bank. Some say millions, dependin’ where ya are. Nevada’s got legal ones—places like the Bunny Ranch. Them gals hustle harder than I did singin’ “9 to 5”!

Toulouse-Lautrec's Elles

Towards the end of Lautrec was commissioned to produce decorations for the salon walls of the Rue d'Amboise brothel, and he decided to design 16 panels.

You know, being a masseur, I've learnt to feel the pulse of the city. In my work, each muscle tells a story. Just like the soft murmur of wind through the trees at Parc des Recollets – nature’s massage, right? Sometimes my thoughts get all jumbled and I’m like, “This is art, not just a town!” I remember one time, chillin’ near the river, feelin’ the breeze, and watching boats skimming by – it made me think, “The Return... they say, ‘what's done, is done’ but here every day is a brand new touch, a brand new vibe.”
