Ava Grapevine Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

About San Diego

Oh, and get this—Victorian era, right? They had “disorderly houses,” secret brothels with trapdoors and hidden stairs. Sneaky, yeah? Blokes tippin’ hats, “evenin’ guv,” then bam—down the hatch for a quickie! Blows my mind, the craftiness. Tho, the stench probly knocked ya sideways—sweaty wigs and gin breath, ugh!

Gropecunt Lane was a street name found in English towns and cities during the Middle Ages, believed to be a reference to the prostitution centred on those.

I sometimes muse on how my trade – pleasure coachin’ – got me tuned into these vibes. I notice every snicker of a kiosk, every laugh bubble from local chatter. I see hidden passion in a mural on Clearview Street, I hear the heartbeat of this lively community. Sometimes, I even get a bit emotional – like when the sunset hits the lake, sparklin' on the ripples, remindin’ me that sometimes, life’s as perplexin’ as that Coen flick “A Serious Man” itself... “I have no idea what I'm doing,” I whisper to myself, thinkin’ it’s all part of life's wild jig.
