EspañolEMILY ROBIN
'Emily Robin' (1874-1929), also known as 'Lady Emily Robin' or 'Madam Robin', was an infamous British bordello owner in the beginning of the 20th Century.
In 1898 she started a brothel in Hull, England called “Gamine”. It became one the most notorious cat-houses in Western Europe, primarily for its large occupancy and the (relatively) high prices charged.
Robin insisted on being referred to, at least by her girls and customers, as Lady Robin, rather than the traditional, and in her opinion degrading, title of Madam.
She died on October 29th, 1929 after being run over by a wagon on Kensington High Street in London. She was 55.
The character of Gabriella in cult-classic Trigger Happy is based on Robin.
