Most of the people I stripped and whored with are dead," said Angel. "They did too many drugs." Angel worked at Dollies Playhouse where she met Jack Corbett. Later, she worked at Chameleon. But Angel came into Jack's life several years after he wrote "Death on the Wild Side". Back in the early 1990's the Saint Louis Metro East strip club scene was wide open. One of the "Death on the Wild Side Clubs featured forty-five minute joyrides in a Limousin with a man's favorite dancer. Others offered hot tubs next to the clubs' stages where anything went. Most of that's gone now, but although the Metro East clubs have mellowed, many strip club afficionados still feel they offer more fun than anywhere else in the country. As far as Jack, he'd wind up meeting hundreds of dancers. He could tell many stories such as one strip club owner murdering his partner at his favorite club. Or the time two of his dancer friends called him begging him to allow them to visit him at his farm after finding one of their customers dead on their couch from a heroin overdose. But after getting to know hundreds of the girls, he never met a girl as wild and addictive as the real Lori Mellon, the Nipples of "Death on the Wild Side". "Death on the Wild Side" captures a time and place that will probably never be re-visited.
