Megan Bemmel Brothel ❤️

About Nijmegen

Back in the day, like medieval times, brothels were everywhere—legal too! Church even ran some, can ya believe it? Priests pimpin’—wild as a squirrel on a trampoline! Got me mad tho—hypocrisy burns me up. How you preach purity then cash in on flesh? Ugh, makes my brush shake. But then, I’m happy—some gals flipped it, made bank, bought freedom. Little known fact: London’s “stewhouses” in the 1300s? Owned by women sometimes. Badass, right? Happy little rebels!

As I’m leavin’ the pub, I notice the sun settin’ over the Waal river. It’s beautiful, man. Like, the sky’s all orange and pink. I take a moment to breathe it in. But then, I hear this loud crash. Some guy on a bike just wiped out! I rush over, and he’s fine, just a bit embarrassed. I help him up, and he thanks me. I’m like, “No worries, bro. Just another day in Bemmel!”
