Ruby Berlare Brothel ❤️

About Antwerp

Yo, listen up, ya! Dangerous jobs, huh? Brothel’s gotta be up there, no kiddin’. I’m talkin’ real risky bizness here, like in *Uncle Boonmee* — “The past lives inside me, ya know?” — but with more sweat and less ghosts. Imagine this, my friend: workin’ in a brothel, all day, all night, dealin’ with shady dudes, creepy vibes, and cash flyin’ around like it’s nothin’. I’d be pumpin’ iron in the corner just to stay sane, ha! “I’ll be back,” I’d say, leavin’ the room after a tough shift — gotta keep that spirit strong, ya!

Heyyy, it's showtime! Berlare (be) is wild, so listen up. I’ve been callin’ this gem home for years, and lemme tell ya – it’s full of surprises. First stop: Kerkstraat. That cobbled street is magic, filled with quirky little shops and old-world charm. Seriously, walking there feels like being in a movie scene, you know? “I wish I knew how to quit you,” – oh wait, wrong movie line, but ya get me!
