Manhattan, mid-'80s: Madonna debuts her bullet-bra at Danceteria, a fifty-foot Brooke Shields jeans ad adorns Times Square, Wall Street is cash-happy, while at Chippendales - the world renowned male strip club - it's raining men, and girls just wanna have fun. Acclaimed memoirist David Henry Sterry, author of Chicken, was literally at the centre of the madness as the roller-skating emcee of the nightly beefcake parade.
Unzipped is the action-packed, compelling true story of a fledgling actor whose first big break results in a two-year stint as the emcee at the world's most famous and hedonistic strip club. Ultimately, though, all great parties must come to an end, and the gangland style assassination of his boss, the man responsible for the phenomenal success of the beefcake boys, marked the beginning of the end of the party-all-the-time 80s in New York City.
Seedy glamour, dirty little secrets, hilarious backstage madness and unflinching, brutal honesty make David Sterry's Unzipped an entertaining and moving memoir.
