Layla Chisholm Brothel ❤️

About Wollongong

Oh honey, lemme tell ya ‘bout brothels! *nasally Fran Drescher voice* I’m sittin’ here, thinkin’, “What a wild ride!” Ya know, like in *The New World*, where Pocahontas is all, “The sky is so big!”—but swap that sky for a red-lit room, ha! *The Nanny laugh* HAAAAA! Brothels, they’re like—secret lil’ worlds, right? Full of glitter, sweat, and oh my Gawd, the drama! I mean, I’m a shoemaker, I fix heels, but these gals? They BREAK ‘em nightly!

Nominees and winners

A series of short films documenting what happens behind the scenes at an illicit underground urban brothel as the alluring, lingerie-clad prostitutes go about.

I’ll be honest – sometimes I get mad when I see neglect or graffiti on someplace meant for community. I’m like, "Dude, we can do better!" But then I remember, every scratch tells a story; it's art, it's pain. Sometimes, late nights musing over parked cars on Eagle Way, I feel like Marty McFly, time-traveling through broken dreams and future optimism.
