Cheers!

I actually do remember those!! Don't remember there ever being a hot girl in there though. I always remember kind of walking just far enough to see half the girl before she saw me so I could ignore her without feeling guilty!! LOL!!

I first went in 2000, and remember them being open on my first few visits.

Thanks for the info!



I do things like that every trip lol!

Cheers!

This is true, but... the owner has sold his windows to another landlord.

After some rebuilding these 3 windows have been reopened today.

Thanks for the info OldAmsterdam, I don't mean to doubt you kind sir, but did you see them open with your own eyes, and did you happen to see Samantha in 21-2? :D

Cheers!

EDIT- 21-2

TT.....OldAmsterdam is one of our most knowledgeable members on the ground and knows what he is talking about.

Thanks for the update OA i trust you are keeping well.

I can see that from the info he has gave us in the past, but I still need to know if Samantha is still there god damn it!! :P

Cheers!!

The last weeks I have not seen Samantha, but I will pay extra attention to these windows this afternoon (after my interview with Amsterdam anti-prostitution newspaper "Het Parool" : eek : ).

Good luck in the interview mate!

Thanks OldAmsterdam, much appreciated mate! :)

Cheers!!

Samantha was not there, but I remember that Wednesday usually is her day off. We’ll wait and see.

It was a nice interview with a charming lady. At the end we went to Melissa (Goldberger) and before I visited here, she agreed to answer a few questions as well.

On topic: through another source I heard that this week there will be municipal judgment on the renewal of the brothel licenses.

You're right, I just remembered aswell lol
Thanks for looking though!



Cool! What was it all about though?

Cheers!!!

When I was in Amsterdam last week 21, 21-2 and 21-3 where open again with the usual girls in 21 and 21-3 but no Samantha in 21-2 :( a different girl with short blonde hair was in there.

92 OZV was not in use day or night the whole time I was there (daytime they just had a plain white net curtain in the windows, and night time they had the metal shutters down) so looks like they where just a temporary measure whilst the other ones where being refurbed.

I know some other kamers in DeWallen had new alarm systems fitted last week, maybe that was one of the reasons 21, 21-2 and 21-3 where closed for a while??

Cheers!

As per OldAmsterdam's post on hookers, something new is opening soon on Dolleb: "DITS is a performance gallery and store located in previous brothels in between the two most exciting alleyways of Amsterdam’s Red Light District. DITS is a new place in Amsterdam for contemporary art and e-culture."

The RLD continues to transform... into shit :P

Well this sucks a big veiny cock!!

WTF!!!

On King's Day the rooms were being used as toilets (officially). That at least was useful.

Just right at the place where German Kim used to work in the past, which means two years ago now at 3-2.

Well in defense of the artists...the likely reason they move artists and designers into spaces like this is that more typical renters won't choose to locate there. Art projects and so on have less money and so take what they can get.

But it shouldn't be the case that for artists to win commercial sex has to lose. And the folks behind these changes are not the artists. The artists are just chasing the scraps that fall off the table. The people actually at the table are the monied and political interests, and they should be the targets of scorn not the artists.
