Brothels do their very best to disguise themselves within the city and suburbia… badly. Most attempts to conceal brothels as innocuous residential houses or other kinds of businesses are usually so painful, they’re amusing.
Let’s face it, we’ve all had a little giggle at how badly some of these businesses camouflage into their surroundings. Time to share our favourites.
Which badly disguised brothel always gives you a giggle?
Thanks to @griffynn for today’s question suggestion!

The one I drive past a lot on Lygon St is pretty hilarious. Pickwood Lodge its called. Man, that place is quite the eyesore!
California Girls! I mean, the big pink Cadillac out front isn’t exactly the epitome of subtlety.
The Candy Club, Richmond.
Clever way to expose the regulars ;)
Every address in South Melbourne. They’re all houses of ill repute, aren’t they?
Club Keys in Cheltenham, it has no windows. always makes me smile
The Scarlett Lady behind Mosskitos in clifton hill!! sooo obvious!! theres this massive murel on the wall leading up to it! stodge!
Images in North Melbourne for sure.
Daily Planet, because it isn’t really disguised at all, which is odd, but I guess this may say something about St Kilda and it’s surrounding suburbs….
I don’t really like that place, especially at night…. it’s less safer than Dandynong.
Ok, here’s a photo of the Scarlet Lady.. pretty subtle I would have thought..

Obvious, let’s see

We’re on Melbournism, how much more obvious could we be?
ledies for gentlemen, richmond.. nice and obvious
Ladies for Gentlemen (entrance and carpark at rear) on the corner of Swan and Stewart St Richmond.
… and notice “The Entrance is in the Rear”.
Images in North Melbourne gets my vote too – hot pink!
Gotham City which has a giant Batman hanging on top! How much more obvious can you get! It surely ain’t entrance to comic conference!
The giant neon sign on the pink palace in Sth Melbourne is just a wee bit obvious.
I’ll vote for Pink Palace too
The Daily Planet in Elsternwick.
Ladies for gentlemen (entrance at rear) down near the swan at bridge. Perfect place to park when heading to the corner hotel!
Scarlet Lady in Clifton Hill is also right next to a busy McDonald’s drive through so I guess you can satisfy a number of appetites in one hit!
Manhattan Terrace on Swanston near the Public Bath building.
The pink lights and covered up windows are a dead give away.
Respectfully to the person suggesting this topic but it’s a dumb question. Brothels are legal and liscened by the State government so they’re not trying to hide, they’re trying to attract the notice of people who might be interested.
They do tend to share a common visual language of pink and fairy lights though. And yes, Grant Macdonald is correct about every house in South Melb being brothels.
