About Dallas

What’s nuts tho—some gals choose it. Freedom, they say. Flexible hours, big tips. I’m like, “Really?!” Shocked me silly. One gal, tattooed to the nines, goes, “I call shots.” Kinda badass, huh? Like Rocket dodgin’ bullets to snap pics. Takes guts, man. But then—ugh—cops raid, girls cry. Pisses me off again. System’s screwed.

Galena’s Murder Bordello

While New Orleans had the House of the Rising Sun, the Ozarks had its own infamous house: the House of Lords, in Joplin, Missouri.

I gotta mention my fave secret spot too – the hidden alley near Oak Street where an old mural tells a rad story of the city's past. Not many peeps know about it (shhh, our little secret!), but it's like art whispering “Be passionate, be raw,” just like that film, you feel me?
