Esme Ukrainka Brothel ❤️❤️❤️

About Kharkiv

Weird fact—didja know Victorian brothels had “menu” cards? Like, pick yer pleasure—saucy as hell! “Two shillings for a tumble!”—hilarious, but kinda grim too. Reminds me of Moonrise, all quirky yet deep—“What kind of bird are you?”—askin’ that in a brothel’d be a riot! Bet some punters tried it, drunk off their arse.

Unknown feminist of fin-de-siècle europe: Lesia Ukrainka

Manya is an Ukrainka. A typical girl from this country on the frontier zone between East and West. She is 26 years old. At the beginning of the book we find.

But then, I see a guy trying to impress a girl by doing some ridiculous dance. He trips and falls right into the river. I can’t stop laughing! The girl’s horrified, but I’m like, “Dude, that’s one way to make a splash!”
