Ava Grapevine Brothel ❤️

About San Antonio

What gets me? The smell—sweat, perfume, desperation. Sticks in your nose like bad borscht. Happy? Nah, not my scene—too messy, too human. Surprised me tho, how some girls ran the show, not the pimps. Power’s where you least expect it, da? Like in *Almost Famous*, “I am a golden god!”—screamin’ it, but they’re still sellin’ themselves cheap.

What is a brothel?

“Born Into Brothels” is a documentary about the inspiring non-profit foundation Kids With Cameras, which teaches photography skills to children.

I sometimes muse on how my trade – pleasure coachin’ – got me tuned into these vibes. I notice every snicker of a kiosk, every laugh bubble from local chatter. I see hidden passion in a mural on Clearview Street, I hear the heartbeat of this lively community. Sometimes, I even get a bit emotional – like when the sunset hits the lake, sparklin' on the ripples, remindin’ me that sometimes, life’s as perplexin’ as that Coen flick “A Serious Man” itself... “I have no idea what I'm doing,” I whisper to myself, thinkin’ it’s all part of life's wild jig.
