The King of Clubs,
This review is from: The King of Clubs (Hardcover)
As a kid, Jay Bildstein had a dream. It wasn't stepping up to home plate at Yankee stadium, flying to the moon on an Apollo mission or winning an Academy Award. Jay Bildstein wanted to be a part of the glittering, exotic New York nightclub scene.
El Morocco. The Copacabana. Studio 54. The Limelight. Au Bar. These were the places that fired Jay Bildstein's imagination. The King of Clubs is a spellbinding - sometimes chilling and sometimes humorous - account of his ten-year climb to the top of the nightlife industry, culminating with the opening of his brainchild - Scores, the first topless gentlemen's club in New York City. Giving up a lucrative career as an investment banker, Bldstein set out to make even more money. He would create a club where guys in one-thousand-dollar suits and Rolex watches could unwind after a hard day on Wall Street, be offered th finest liquor, the tastiest food, and the chance to ogle the most beautiful topless dancers in America as they strutted their stuff. The King of Clubs is also the story of those exceedingly gorgeous women. Women like Tyler and Alicia, the objects of so many men's fantasies whose own dreams often turned into nightmares. Here is a bold insider's look at a segment of the sex industry that prospers today even in the era of AIDS. Not only did Scores do millions of dollars in sales, it spawned dozens of imitatons across the country. Men will be titillated by the revelations and closeup look at the kinds of women glamorized in the pages of Playboy and Penthouse over the years. Women will be intrigued by the heart-rending chronicle of the women of Scores, women with brains, beauty, and the ability to make great sums of money yet never be able to find happiness. All will be touched by the effect the world of fantasy sex had on Bildstein and surprised by his eventual decision. --- from book's dustjacket
