Girls Hotel - As a documentation of the wilder side

and dyed hair. They are dancers, escorts, waitresses,
and an occasional medical student. But for some reason,
they are all drawn to showing off their bodies in ways

their characters and a sense of rebellion. Done in the
course of a year at the notorious Carlton Arms Hotel on
25th street, where nobody in their right mind would ever
stay, these are strange photos.
