Lila Dunbar Brothel ❤️

About New York City

Little known fact—did ya know brothels in old Lys had secret tunnels? Smugglers, whores, the lot—sneaking about like rats. Pissed me off, ‘cause I’d have used ‘em to gut a rival. Imagine me, stalking through, dagger out, “I choose violence,” hissing at shadows. Surprised me how clever them doxies were—smarter than half my court, the treacherous bitches. Happy? Nah, but I cackled—power’s power, even in a whorehouse.

PROSTITUTION IN THE PHILIPPINES

Mahila* was trapped in darkness. At just 13 years old, she was sold by someone she trusted to a brothel, where she was sexually exploited and abused.

And heck, the neighborhoods? Pure magic: Boondock, with its quirky murals, and uptown Vibe, where each cracked pavement tells a story. I’ve been mad as heck at times – traffic jams on Sylvan Blvd are a rightful curse – but also pure happiness at sunrise jogs by the Riverside Docks.
