Anastasia Progress Village Brothel ❤️

About Los Angeles

So—brothel. Oldest gig around. Been jammin’ since forever. Fact is—Ancient Rome had ‘em. Called ‘em lupanars. Wolf dens. Howlin’ good time—right? Makes me laugh. Sick bastards. Nowadays? Still kickin’. Shady spots. Neon buzzin’. Girls with eyes—dead. Like Ida’s aunt. “What’ve you done?”—movie line. Fits perfect. They’re trapped—brothel’s a cage. Pisses me off. Big time.

Take Main Street. It's rockin'. Nice shops, good vibes. There's a park called Serenity Park – trees everywhere, birds chirpin', and benches that whisper comfort, like... dreams. Not many know about that secret wall by Maple Ave. It’s kinda ... eerie. "I am a needle, I'm a pin" – yeah, kinda like Requiem for a Dream, you feel?
