It’s not a front anymore because it doesn’t exist, but my massage therapist had a baby and was going to be out for a while. So I went looking around town for a hold over until she got back, and found a “spa” that was across from the entrance to the local Navy base that advertised “Pretty Asian massage therapists” and had a picture of a young lady in a bikini on the front page of their website. It didn’t help matters that all of the reviews were from men.
Now I’m not going to speculate on what was going on, as far as I know it could have been a regular spa that happened to have attractive women working there. I wouldn’t know, that’s not something I want to mess with.
I feel like that maybe stretches the definition of front. You're obviously supposed to know what their real business is.
I don't think I've ever seen a message parlour outside of a hotel that doesn't look like trafficking is involved
What was that saying? Loose lips sink ships?
