Nude model bars spark noonday craze in Hollywood area
Vernon Scott reports Hollywood restaurants shift from noon fashion shows to topless models in bikinis and lingerie mingling with diners. The Telephone Booth on Sunset Strip and The Quail in San Fernando Valley hostesses pour coffee and chat while belly dancers entertain, with pay from four to six dollars per hour and noon crowds of businessmen. The Ball in Santa Monica stands as the most exclusive club with a fifteen dollar initiation for access to topless waitresses and models.
