Madam's Trick Book Reveals Clients
Of all the famous LA names in Babydol Gibson's little black book, only one had the cojones to step up and be counted-- our main man Steve Jones from the Sex Pistols and more recently FM 103.1. The music man, unlike Tommy Lasorda and Bruce Willis said: "It's possible I crossed paths with her back then. She was a madam, but if I remember right, she wanted to be a singer in a band." Jones' subtle implications is that he might have gotten his services for free because of his music pull, while giving himself enough wriggle room to get out of it completely. Everyone else named in the book is threatening to sue, although thus far there have been no credible reasons as to why their names and cel numbers would be in the madam's black book. Babydol ran one of the city's highest-end prosty rings with the perfect name of "California Dreamin'", with featured ladies including Penthouse and Playboy models and porn stars. Other names mentioned in the book include Robert Horry, Ben Affleck, and Sly Stallone.
