I blundered into such a building, when my best school friend’s girlfriend’s mother apparently ran one of these. Thinking my friend and his girl were in one of those rooms or apartments, or whatever they were, I knocked on the doors, calling his name. Luckily no-one came out. I guess they were busy. (I could hear voices.) I can just imagine that you’ve nailed the atmosphere inside those rooms!
i am so glad…great collection…..my fave!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....yes it is on my buy list…..i will come back….ps it is lunch time BBQ…but im have mushrooms and onion on lovely grain bread…ha ha with sauce!!! bye for now!!!
Thanks Mariam! I really saw this particular bordello (owned and run by a dear friend of mine) as a place of sexual healing – her attitude and the way the operation was run really had a good feeling – so I am thrilled that it comes across. xxx
