290 - Cummins' Courtesans
Madam Bella Cummins has reigned in the small city of Wells, Nevada, USA for 37 years - the longest-standing Madam in rural Nevada's legal brothels, and is a mentor to women seeking to evolve naturally in the courtesan industry, as well as an advocate for licensed establishments and workers in the industry. Bella's Hacienda Ranch sits in a town of just over 1,200 people that sees thousands of travelers every day at the intersection of Route 93 and Interstate 80 in Nevada. The hosts chat with Bella about how language and labels affect how we perceive professionalism and quality service, the importance of the destination as part of the draw, and how Nevada's legal brothel blueprints could help other small communities prosper from the destigmatization of sex work.
