Mari Grapevine Brothel ❤️

About Los Angeles

Alright, mate, lemme tell ya bout brothels—growling, “You merely adopted the dark.” I seen shit in them joints that’d make yer head spin, like a damn Wes Anderson flick, all quirky and fucked up. Moonrise Kingdom’s my jam, right? Picture this—brothel’s like that island, hidden, wild, fulla weirdos tryna find somethin real. I walked into one, years back, stank of cheap perfume and desperation, and I’m thinkin, “This ain’t no summer camp, Suzy!”—like that line, ya know?

The Reykavík Grapevine is Iceland's biggest, best and most widely read English-language publication. Our alternative monthly magazine publishes.

Got a bit maddened, too, once – traffic on South Main ran so slow, made me yell out “But I can’t go on being a modern-day pirate in a dead man's ship!” Haha, true story, mate! Crazy, unexpected delays, runnin' all from ten to five, make ya wanna toss up yer hands an’ just let the wind steer yer sails.
