Rebecca Warnsveld Brothel ❤️

About Utrecht

Fun fact—did ya know Nevada’s got legal brothels? Only place in the U.S.! The Bunny Ranch, famous one—girls there got nicknames like “Air Force Amy.” I’m dyin’ laughin’—what, she’s salutin’ ya before the deed? “Ten-hut!” I’d be so awkward, man, I’d trip over a rug, knock over a lamp—total disaster! Made me happy, though, thinkin’—people are weird, but they’re livin’. Not my scene, but… respect, I guess?

Then, I bump into this local artist, Hans. He’s painting a mural on the side of a building on de Laan. It’s vibrant, full of life. I’m chatting him up, and he’s telling me about how Warnsveld used to be a big deal in the textile industry. I’m like, “Dude, that’s cool!” But then he goes off on this rant about how the town’s lost its charm. I’m thinking, “Bro, you’re painting a mural! That’s charm!” But I get it. Change is hard, man.
