Mootzies were pregnant prostitutes. Customers could chose the mootzie depending on how pregnant she was.
Grasshoppers were ugly prostitutes.
Prostitutes in green boots with yellow laces were there for rough sex.
I think this shows the more perverse side to the sexual freedom shown in Berlin in the 1920s, because its still quite shocking eve in this day and age. Green seems to be a recurring theme in 20s Berlin which is something I can use in my own interpretation.
Below is a quick Berlin/gypsy inspired drawing I did. I think it is what the young grasshoppers and mootzies would have looked like.
