sex-workers work-notice

Hey Syphilites,


Possibly one of the weirdest and strangest work-notices you will ever come across. I'm a bit disturbed. (if the photo doesn't seem to load sometimes - find it here.)

The full title of the photo is: 'A notice to sex workers in the lockers area, At The Top of The Town brothel, Flinders Street, Melbourne, 15 October 2009' and was taken by Dave Tacon. This is his website.


Perhaps not what you'd expect to find in the National Library of Australia digital collection. But what a photo. Such and everyday setting and we all know and have experienced the 'power' of passive aggressive work notices, but this...


I'm speechless.


The note reads:


'Ladies Please note


A standard booking incudes:
- Body Contact Massage
- Oral
- Intercourse


If clients are able they can come twice in a 45 minute booking.


Thank you
Jo


*Some clients have complained that they are not allowed to touch ladies!'


I'll leave you to ponder this one....
