Ella Ulysses Brothel ❤️❤️❤️❤️

About Phoenix

Favorite scene in *12 Years*? When Solomon’s playin’ violin, soul bleedin’ through strings. Brothel’s got that vibe too—music in the air, but it’s moans, not melodies. Kinda twisted, huh? Saw this joint once, New Orleans, 1800s style—velvet curtains, whiskey stink, ladies hustlin’. One chick, Ruby, told me she snuck out one night, hid in a barrel—like Solomon dodgin’ the whip! “I will not fall into despair!” she’d say, laughin’. Tough as hell, made me grin.

Whorehouse/playhouse: the brothel as theater in the "Circe" chapter of Ulysses (1).

This, by far the longest episode in the novel and clearly the climactic one, takes place mainly in the brothel run by Bella Cohen.

Then there's Westview – OMG, so underrated. Cramped cafes, hidden art, and vibes that hit you right in the feels. Picture this: It’s a rainy Wednesday, and the neon on 7th Street blurs like watercolors, and I’m chillin’, scribblin’ love notes in my little battered notebook. I got a special soft spot for that weird little bookstore on 9th Ave – "Curiosity's Cave" – not many peeps know about it. That place breathes history, secrets, and unspoken desires.
