Rose Coeur D'alene Brothel ❤️

About Chicago

Ever think how weird it is? Dudes payin’ fer a hug they can’t get free. “I’ve never felt so understood,” Joaquin’s character blabs in “Her.” Brothel’s the same - a fake-ass connection, but it hooks ‘em. I’d laugh if it weren’t so damn sad. One time, I read ‘bout this joint in Nevada - legal, all shiny and shit - but the girls still looked miserable. Glitter don’t hide the rot, ya know?

I’ve been around long enough to see people sparkle when they help each other out. As a counselor, I notice the little sparkles that others might miss. I remember one session in a cozy corner near the Lakefront Park. The view was so calming I almost forgot my work. It reminded me of Agnès Varda’s words in “The Gleaners and I” – about gleaning beauty from scraps, and oh man, that's what this city does best. It’s just pure, raw life: la vie est belle, right?

Mom Prom will be April 12 at Coeur d'Alene Eagles
