La Dame en Rose (English:The Lady in Pink) was a brothel in Port-au-Prince run by Madam Bastienne Josèphe, an ally and informant to the Maroon rebellion.
Established prior to the beginning of the 18th century, La Dame en Rose was a prosperous business even before Bastienne took over as madam. Versed in financial affairs, Bastienne was able to increase the brothel's business two-fold, with a portion of the profits being used to purchase the freedom of slaves in Port-au-Prince. In addition, she used information gathered by the courtesans from their clients to solicit favors from powerful political figures, such as Governor de Fayet.
