About Las Palmas

I’m thinkin’, brothels ain’t just pussy for cash, nah, it’s power, control, greed in flesh form. Back in Rome, they had these lupanars—wolf dens, bro—where slaves and free girls worked side by side. Little known fact: them walls had graffiti, dirty fuckin’ poems bout who banged who. Hilarious shit, like Yelp reviews for hookers! Makes me laugh, thinkin’ some crusty senator scribblin’ “Lydia’s ass is worth the sesterces” while his wife’s at home prayin’ to Juno.

I gotta say, my job gives me a peek into people's secrets. Folks come in stressed, and after a good rubdown, they spill juicy local gossip. One regular? He bombed his date at the little bistro on Calle Real. “A Separation,” y'know, when life splits apart? "Life's like that, doc!" I always say that with a grin, rly reminding meself that we all got our faults.
