Esme Linton Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About New York City

First off, brothels ain’t just what ya think. They’re history, man! Like, in ancient Greece, they were sacred, tied to goddesses. Crazy, right? Made me happy to learn that, respect for the past. But today? Man, some laws are so strict, it pisses me off! Why can’t people just live? Raised eyebrow, “Know your role.” Governments actin’ like they’re gods, like in the movie, “Everything is His will.”

I gotta say, life here in Linton is a real mixed bag, haha. Some days I’m on top of the world, other days, well, fool me once, fool me twice— heck, don’t even get me started! Running the spa, I get to see the real side of folks. Clients spill their life’s secrets in my massage room; one time, this old fella told me about his first date near the old Mulberry Bridge (famous for its wonky design – literally a one-of-a-kind, kinda like a tarantino twist!).
