Before traveling to Nevada, the photographer Marc McAndrews had never been to a brothel. Now he's been to every single one in the state. Over the course of five years, McAndrews made regular trips to Nevada's legal brothels, staying anywhere from a week to a month each time. He stayed in bedrooms in the houses, shared bathrooms with the sex workers, and saw a world that few others have. In 2014, McAndrews shared some photos from his trips inside the brothels with Business Insider. You can see more photos and read amazing stories in his book, "Nevada Rose." Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.


When McAndrews began shooting the brothels, he expected them to be seedy and filled with drugs, he told Business Insider. What he found was something completely different.


He started by visiting Moonlite Bunny Ranch, made famous by HBO's "Cathouse" series. When he asked about taking photos, the women thought he was just a nervous customer. He was turned down.


After being turned down by brothels near Carson City, one of the sex workers recommended he try a small town like Elko or Ely, where proprietors might be friendlier.


In Elko, he had his first luck at a "parlor brothel," which, like this one, looks more like a bar. Other brothels are called "lineup brothels," where workers line up when customers enter, McAndrews said.


There are also "city houses," which cater to those wanting a slicker, partygoing atmosphere, and "country houses," which are quieter and friendlier, McAndrews said.


Once inside, customers go to the pay room to withdraw cash for the night.


Carli at Mona's Ranch in Elko was one of the first women he photographed. He stayed at Mona's for five nights and shared a bathroom with the workers.


McAndrews was given free rein to photograph, as long as he had a worker's permission. Of why he stayed at the brothels, he said: "It's a different experience when you wake up in the morning and have to pass the cereal and the milk to your subject."


McAndrews mostly photographed in mornings and afternoons when the brothels were quiet. Because he was shooting with a large-format camera, he would have to pack up when guests arrived, so as not to spook them.


Most of Nevada's brothels are in places far outside of the cities and zoned into specific areas. Often, many occupy the same parking lot.


McAndrews says many of the women have kids and partners. "People's guards go down, and they become more at ease," he said of staying at the brothels. "They start to let you see their world."


The easy stereotypes — drug users, women without families — existed but weren't as prevalent as McAndrews expected, he said.


One woman who McAndrews met was a math teacher in Minnesota during the school year. She said she worked at the Nevada brothels because it was a turn-on, McAndrews said.


The business is often a family affair. In Carlin, "Whorehouse" Charlie and his mom, "Miss Pat," run Sharon's Bar and Brothel together.


This is Ben, the former owner of the Wild West Saloon brothel in Winnemucca, with his father, Art.


Some customers were OK with being photographed. Here, Brett sits with Dimon, a sex worker at the Stardust Ranch in Ely.


McAndrews was able to photograph in every brothel in Nevada, though he said it took a lot of persuading.


The final brothel he had to get access to was the Moonlite Bunny Ranch. He said he had to convince its owner, Dennis Hof, who owned six other brothels, that it was a good idea.


McAndrews told Hof the project was an artistic documentation of the community, not a generic brothel travel guide. Judith Reagan, a publisher and radio host who was friends with Hof, convinced him the project was important.

Editor's note: A previous version of this article incorrectly said McAndrews had never visited a strip club before beginning the Nevada Rose project. While he had been to some, he disliked them because of "the aggressiveness of the clientele," he said.

On June 9th, 2021, police in Los Angeles ’s Skid Row, a neighborhood frequented by homeless people and substance abusers, responded to a call from a man in a trailer. The man said that a woman had stopped by hours earlier requesting to take a nap. He obliged, offering her a spot on his couch, but when he checked on her in the morning, she wasn’t breathing.
The woman’s name was Lauren Scott, and she loved karaoke, Hilary Duff, and once harbored dreams of becoming a marine biologist. But she was better known as Dakota Skye . Diminutive and flaxen-haired, Skye had starred in nearly 300 movies since entering the industry eight years ago, when she was 19, from Couples Bang the Babysitter 10 to Young Girl Seductions 9; even though she was 27 at the time of her death, practically Methusaleh-esque in porn years, her petite stature (she was just five feet tall) and omnipresent cherubic expression led to her being primarily cast in teen roles.
According to the L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner- Coroner, Skye’s cause of death has not been determined, and the office refused to release documents related to her death to Rolling Stone until the case was closed. But it was well-known in adult circles that she struggled with substance abuse. At the time of her death, the press reported she was homeless, which was not the case; estranged from her husband, she was living with her boyfriend in Woodland Hills, California. But she had fallen from her previous heights.
At the peak of her time in porn, Skye was represented by one of the profession’s top agents, appeared on hundreds of DVD box covers, and had been nominated for a number of awards, including the prestigious AVN Best New Starlet award in 2015. But over the past few years, she hadn’t been booking many roles, garnering headlines mostly for her arrests (including for domestic violence in 2017, a charge that was later dropped) and her erratic behavior on social media, including, most recently, flashing her breasts in front of a George Floyd mural in May 2021. She also struggled with drug and alcohol addiction, leading her to ping-pong around for years, borrowing money and capitalizing on favors for work. “She was so big in our industry,” says Kianna Bradley, an adult actress who befriended and later mentored Skye. “ And she died in someone’s RV with a man she did not know, because she had nowhere else to go.”
Considering she had not been highly active in porn for years, some members of the adult community, sensitive to how they are depicted in mainstream media, were careful to separate themselves from Skye, arguing that hers was a tragic yet all too common story across the city — not just for those involved in porn. “A person with known addiction issues overdosed. It happens daily in Los Angeles,” one insider told me. “It’s a sad person with drug problems who died, by all accounts I’ve heard.”
Others, however, argue that Skye’s fate is reflective of issues inherent to the adult industry, such as the lack of systemic, institutional support for those struggling with mental illness and substance abuse. “When I was Dakota’s age, I was so fucked up, I was missing shoots and they finally told me, ‘We’re not hiring you anymore. Go get help. We’ll put you in rehab and give you help,'” says Bradley. “That doesn’t happen anymore. They used her up and pushed her aside.”
Skye was born in Clearwater, Florida to an alcoholic mother who would later die in her 40s and a father whom she barely knew. Her childhood was marked by sexual abuse, and her mother sporadically going on alcohol binges. “She had a very, very bad upbringing,” her husband, Zachary Lecompte-Goble, tells Rolling Stone. When she was in her early teens, she went to live with her father’s family in southern Ohio, which is where she met an older boyfriend who encouraged her to start camming when she was just 16, below the legal age of entry, according to Lecompte-Goble. When she was 19, she launched her porn career in Florida after being recruited by her first agent, John O’Byrne of East Coast Talent. “ Smaller models end up doing well — the petite girls do well,” O’Byrne says. “The industry likes the [juxtaposition] of tiny girl/big penis. She had a great work ethic in the beginning. She’d show up and shoot and they’d be like ‘Oh my god, she killed it. We want to book her for four more scenes.'” Within the first six months, he says, she was on more than 100 box covers.
According to Lecompte-Goble, Skye told him that when she first entered the industry, she had expressed to O’Byrne that she was only comfortable with booking girl/girl shoots — a fairly common ask for young women new to porn — only for her agent to immediately start booking her roles in boy/girl scenes. “It was certainly a bait-and-switch,” says Lecompte-Goble. (O’Byrne denied any memory of this, saying Skye had requested to do boy/girl scenes off the bat.)
Skye enjoyed her work, and by all accounts was good at it. “She looks very similar to Dakota Fanning and that was part of the niche she was working,” says Alana Evans, Skye’s friend and the president of the Adult Performance Artists’ Guild. “That bratty blonde is what it was about her personality that [viewers] enjoyed.” After about two and a half years, she left East Coast Talent and moved to Los Angeles, the epicenter of the porn world, to work with superstar adult agent Mark Spiegler.
Skye was fearless and generous to her friends when she could be, with Bradley recounting that one time, when Bradley was auditioning for a marketing job at a club, Skye stripped down to her underwear, climbed onto a table, and started belting to lure in patrons. “She was singing her little heart out and she can’t sing a lick,” Bradley recalls. “Because she wanted to help me get that job.” When she was sober, she was bubbly and free-spirited and game for anything. Director and screenwriter Jacky St. James tells Rolling Stone that at the height of Skye’s success, she once called her to do an uncredited extra role, which required her to don an unflattering costume to play a nerdy college student. “She let me put gigantic eyebrows on her and dress her in the most heinous Pepto-Bismol colored outfit and let me put her hair up in this ugly scrunchie and she was completely OK and comfortable and had a blast,” recalls St. James. “That to me is my memory of Dakota: the girl who was never too proud to be silly.”
In the depths of her addiction, however, she was impulsive and erratic. She would take to Facebook to post lengthy rants about how her dog was ill and required surgery, and hit up former colleagues and employers asking for money. “ It was very unusual, because she was a very sought-after performer,” says St. James “It was surprising she would need money.” Lecompte-Goble says she would do things like jet off to Paris to make a sex tape with a stranger, or pull a knife on him during an argument. “I don’t know anything about demons,” he says. “I’ve never met someone who you could say ‘they’re possessed by a demon.’ But there was a demon inside this girl.”
Lecompte-Goble first met Skye at a party, at the height of her fame, around 2015; they got married in Las Vegas in 2016, after Skye said she was pregnant (Lecompte-Goble says she made the decision to terminate the pregnancy in order to keep working, after Spiegler offered her a contract.) As a porn outsider, or “civilian” — he currently works in the cannabis industry, and previously briefly worked as a spokesperson for far-right provocateur Milo Yiannopolous — he didn’t know what to make of the fact that she did sex work. “At first, I saw it as her being empowered as a woman,” he says. “And I thought, who am I to tell her she can’t do that?” More disturbing by far, he says, was Skye’s taste for Xanax. “This is Los Angeles. If you take a Xanax because you have anxiety and you take it as prescribed, that’s not necessarily a red flag,” he says. “And she was really good at hiding that at first.”
It was when she lost the Best New Starlet award that Lecompte-Goble says her substance abuse skyrocketed: he would routinely see her taking 10 to 15 Xanax at a time, and she also started smoking methamphetamine. “I wanted to help fix her because I, you know, I’m not from this world,” he says. “I just thought maybe I could get her some mental help and I could give her what she needed and I can fix her.” After two years of living together, the relationship ended after Skye pulled a knife on Lecompte-Goble. For the last few years of her life, since their split in 2016, they were husband and wife in legal name only. “I became more of her father and more of a caretaker than anything else,” he says.
Also concerning was Skye’s increasingly unpredictable behavior. She would regularly become paranoid and violent, accusing people of sexually abusing or harming her or claiming that shadowy forces were pursuing her and trying to end her life. She once told her friend Evans that Lecompte-Goble was a Kennedy and that people were trying to assassinate her. She called one friend and told him there were hidden cameras in her house, and that she was obsessively documenting her boyfriend’s actions because she was afraid of him sex trafficking her. “ She would say the craziest stuff. Everyone in the business that worked with her or filmed her absolutely knew what they were getting with her,” Evans says. “They knew she was an addict and maybe would be coherent but not necessarily sober. And this was the path she was on for a few years.” At one point, she accused porn star Ron Jeremy of raping her; according to Evans, when the LAPD contacted her during its investigation of Jeremy to ask for Skye’s statement, Skye at first assented, then refused to cooperate with police. (Jeremy is currently facing 330 years in prison on other sexual assault charges; his lawyers did not respond to
