Emma Stanthorpe Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Adelaide

Brothels got quirks, tho—didya know some got secret tunnels? Back in Prohibition, they’d smuggle booze AND clients underground! How badass is that? Makes me happy, thinkin’ bout the chaos, all sneaky-like. But then I get moody—imagine the walls, man, soaked in stories, some hot, some tragic.
