Rachel Uchitel Is Not a Madam
And the bottle girls who work at clubs are not prostitutes. As Tiger Woods's very public escapades
through the 21st-century courtesan economy suggest, it's all much more complicated than that.

The sexiest part of an affair is where it begins.
You know what the middle looks like, hotel-sheeted and ultimately routine, and you know the way it will
end, but where and how it began is always a little surprising.
Historically, powerful men with slavering appetites have mainly acquired their girlfriends the way a pair
of pants gathers lintrather incidentally. Bill Clinton and his intern. JFK and his secretaries, his
stewardess. Collecting a mistress in this way seems, as everything does in the past, more
innocent. An abundant young woman wears a daring dress to the office party, and catches the
president's eye.
At the other end of the infidelity spectrum, there is the escort, the call girl. From Charlie Sheen to Eliot
Spitzer, famous men since the dawn of arousal have valued the sex professional. She is discreet
and it is a transaction and there is the added benefit of selection. The office intern might have
caught your eye, but if you'd had it your way, you might have requested her trimmer around
the center.
Within the unblushing batch of Tiger Woods's alleged mistresses, about whom we now know nearly
every freckled detail, there exist both extremes: ladies of convenience, like Mindy Lawton, the
waitress who served Woods and his wife breakfast at a diner near their home, and high-priced
call girls like Loredana Jolie Ferriolo, who had to Google the player to find out who he was.
Both methods of slaking the hunger have their pros and cons. Men like to hunt, and there is no need to
hunt a prostitute. Men like to cheat without strings, and you can't stop a civilian from falling in
love. But Woods found a way to enjoy the best of both worlds in one type of woman, a Venn
diagram of sexual satisfaction. Most of his mistresses lived in a nebulous in-between world. Not
prostitutes, no, but just about halfway there. As surely as he has changed the game of golf, so
too has Woods exposed the grazing ground of the halfway-hooker, and her natural habitat, the
nightclub.
EFTA_R1_01484301

He met at least nine of the fifteen women in or around nightclubs: Kalika Moquin was a marketing
manager at the Bank in Las Vegas, which is also where he met onetime cocktail waitress and full-
time clubgoer Jamie Jungers. He met Julie Postle when she was a cocktail waitress in Orlando.
Cod Rist at a nightclub in Manhattan. Holly Sampson met him through a mutual friend who is
also a club promoter. These are not cases of eyes locking across a crowded dance floor. That's
not the way someone like Tiger Woods goes out. Instead, special introductions are made. Girls
are brought into his orbit by nightclub managers and directors of marketing and promoters and
waitresses and owners. They are selected and then delivered.
The most famous of Woods's alleged mistresses is Rachel Uchitel, who occupies a position of power in
this strobe network of girls and money and celebrity. As VIP concierge and director of VIP
hospitality at Tao in Vegas and at Dune in Southampton and at the Griffin, Marquee, Stanton
Social, and Pink Elephant in Manhattan, she was the ambassador of client desire.
Her job was born out of the culture of bottle service. The concept of paying for a whole bottle of alcohol
and sitting at a table originated in Europe and grew a tail in the States in the early nineties, at
New York clubs Life and Chaos. But it didn't stick until 2001, when bottle service became the
new way of gaining entry into a world that had previously not been for sale. You no longer had
to be an Andy Warhol descendant to party at a place like Bungalow 8; you could be Joe Banker
or Joe Banker's son with his father's credit card. And the staffers changed, too. Cocktail
waitresses evolved from out-of-work actresses into Penthouse Petlevel creatures who sparred
with their co-workers for client gratuities by expanding their breadth of service. Their take-
home pay skyrocketed from $300 a night to $3,000 banner shifts. With the volume of VIP clients
growing and the number of tables quadrupling, the need for organization spawned the creation
of the VIP host, someone who could be trusted with the biggest clients.
In Las Vegas, at the Bank, Woods's club of choice, a host would meet him at the door and walk him to his
table on the second or third floor. From his perch high above the dance floor and flanked by
superstar friends like Michael Jordan, Woods could look over the balcony and say, Oh, that
table of pretty girls there, bring them up. The nightclub has become a smorgasbord. All you
have to do is point and ask.
Next: Rachel, how does it feel to be a home-wrecker?
Illustration by Jason Lee
This world was splayed open when Woods crashed his SUV last Thanksgiving weekend. And it does not
close because Tiger Woods has (for now) left it, returning to public life this week to play in the
Masters, a chastened man. There are still rich VIPs in the premium corners of clubs from New
York to Miami to Las Vegas, being introduced to girls who are not Woods's girls but who are
exactly like most of Woods's girls. In most cases, there is an exchange, gifts or help for
sexthough with celebrities, what the girls receive is often just the privilege of being with a
storied name. The Woods scandal has upset the rhythm of this world, upping the stakes and
rattling the locals. But you can't keep wealthy men and pretty girls apart for long.
Rachel Uchitel is long and skinny and buoyantly breasted. Her lips are a fat heart. On television and on
the Internet, she is the aviatored one moving serenely through airports as camera-headed men
coo, Rachel, how does it feel to be a home-wrecker? Rachel?
EFTA_R1_01484302
EFTA02418805
She has not gone out since the National Enquirer broke the story about her alleged affair with Woods.
That Thanksgiving weekend, there were 50 people with cameras banging on the windows of her
Manhattan brownstone. She's since been staying in Las Vegas, in the condo she owns at
Turnberry Place, where the security is state-of-the-art.
This new persona is the opposite of who I am, she says. I was alone every night. My life was my work.
But people took my job and made it a scandalous, negative thing.
Before nightlife, Uchitel was a segment producer at Bloomberg News and engaged to a man who died in
the 9/11 attacks. In 2005, she drove across the country to Las Vegas, not knowing what she was
going to do. Before she'd even arrived, a friend got her a hosting gig at Tao.
When you lose your whole future, she says, it's something that changes you.
On one of the online memorial guest books for her deceased fiancé, several people have lately written
in, consoling his parents that the woman their son loved is not the same Rachel Uchitel in the
mediashe doesn't even look like the same person. They're talking about an AP shot from
Bellevue Hospital in the days following 9/11. In the picture, she is crying and blonde and
holding his image. Comparing it with recent pictures, one can't help but notice a Jessica Rabbit
effect.
I have big breasts, she says, yes. But I'm really offended by the notion that I used my sexuality.
It's a cool Las Vegas night in March at the new tapas place in the Aria hotel. Uchitel is wearing an orange
cardigan and black leather pants, her thin legs balancing on top of high heels with some girlish
platform to them. She's picking at her tuna tartare but mainly she is out of cigarettes. She bums
a few from the waiter and stands outside the place, a giraffe on stilts. She's 35 years old, too old
for being a VIP host anymore, she says.
People say, Oh, Rachel, she's such a starfucker,' that I hang out with only celebs. No. I hang out with
successful people. I hang out with people who matter, andshe says the next in the way an
assistant might speak about a boss she deeply admiresl'm honored to.
A source in the business estimates that she made more than any other VIP host. At my best, Uchitel says,
I made $250,000 base, plus a guaranteed $250,000 from the tip pool. Half a million a year, paid
by a single clubprobably Tao, though Uchitel will not confirm it. (She also says she has never
been kept on retainer or paid by a client directly.) This does not include the extracurricular
trips, on yachts in Saint-Tropez and to Monte Carlo. What she did on those trips, she says, was
protect her clients and get them what they needed.
But she really hates the accusation that she set up sex for any of her clients. She is not a pimp or a
madam, she says. It's not our job to get anybody laid.
What the hosts do is more like placement. They are puzzle-doers, wielding a table chart and making sure
the room looks good, depositing models beside Wall Street bankers in a Rubik's Cube of
dovetailing desire. They are also Realtors, selling tables, sometimes auctioning them off to the
highest bidder. At the door, a host will procure a man's credit card and his I.D. and quote him
what the minimum will be at a certain table. Table minimums are usually around $1,500 at
clubs in Manhattan, but a prime spot can go for as much as $30,000. And Uchitel has seen bills
of $245,000 and higher for patrons who are buying huge Methuselahs of Champagnethe
equivalent of eight standard bottles in oneor, in their schnockered magnanimity, have decided
to treat other tables to rounds of Cristal.
Next: The sort of information VIP hosts store in their BlackBerrys about clients.
EFTA_R1_01484303
EFTA02418806
Illustration by Jason Lee
In their BlackBerrys, VIP hosts lovingly store all of their clients' birthdays, children's names, sports teams,
preferred vodkas. (Some of them also note which types of girls their clients like: loose
brunettes, intelligent blondes, C-cups, real, and so on.) These are the things that make a good
host. And a good friend! says Lynn Freeman, another former host whom Uchitel refers to as the
only other girl who knows her shit.
It is a kind of friendship. The hosts are much closer to their clients than almost any other service
provider in a wealthy person's life. Money isn't exchanged directly in most cases, so it can
genuinely feel as though the host is taking care of you for no other reason than because she
wants to. In return, sheor he; most hosts are actually menis a part of the entourage, a trusted
confidante.
We're not madams, continues Freeman, because she's sensitive about it toothe scandal has changed
what people think of the position. But they do introduce the men to women they can have.
What we do is we bring a bunch of girls and guys together. If we worked at a bank and we
brought a bunch of friends together for happy hour, and then two of them went home and had
sex, nobody would think anything of it.
Uchitel says the most she'll do is go over to the bar and find a group of girls and say, Hey girls, do you
want to come and drink for free at this guy's table? When girls are brought to a client's table,
there is a twofold benefit for the club. Firstand this part is called the honey trapthe girls
consume alcohol so that the table will go through bottles faster; second, and more obvious, the
girls keep the men entertained. Are the guys sometimes married? Uchitel answers, None of our
business. We are not there to judge. It's not a synagogue.
Steve Lewis, the former director of Life and current club designer and keeper of the nightlife beat for
BlackBook, says this is half-true. They are not exactly pimps and madams, but the VIP hosts
know which girls are loose and will place their clients with them. They know which girls will
keep quiet. Lewis and others say that VIP hosts will often fly girls they know to events like
Sundance for their clients. Sure, there are girls in Utah, says Lewis, but not girls they can trust.
To be a girl who is trusted, you need a track record of having slept with famous men and not talked
about it. It's an unwritten résumé. Talking about anything that goes on at the clubs is called
burning the athlete or burning the celebrity. Privacy is prized invaluably in an age when the
National Enquirer performs police-quality stakeouts and the video capabilities of cell phones
have turned every banquette kiss into a YouTube trailer. It's a wonder celebrities think they can
get away with cheating, but if they do, it's because of people like Uchitel. People who
understand the value of future returns.
You treat the celebs the way they want to be treated, you give them privacy and ensure no press, and
then they'll say later, Yeah, I'll have my after-party here,' says Uchitel. That's why we're so
valuable.
Uchitel won't talk about Tiger Woods. Partly, it's that omerta. But there are also rumors that she
secured a deal from Woods's camp. She announced a press conference in early December, as
though she were going to tell all. Suddenly the press conference was canceled amid reports
that Uchitel's boldface attorney, Gloria Allred, was seen leaving Woods's attorney's offices.
Allred's own daughter, attorney Lisa Bloom, told The Early Show, That can only mean one thing:
EFTA_R1_01484304
EFTA02418807
As we say in the law, Mr. Green has arrived. TMZ has reported that the amount is in the
neighborhood of $10 million, to which Uchitel responds, Clearly I have no comment.
There is speculation that Uchitel must know truly devastating details to warrant that kind of agreement,
though in texts and e-mails between Uchitel and Woods that have already emerged, the golfer
sounds like a man having an affair with one woman, not fifteen: I finally found someone I
connect with, someone I have never found like this. Not even at home, he allegedly wrote.
Fuck. Why didn't we find each other years ago. We wouldn't be having this conversation.
Uchitel has had previous relationships with famous men, Derek Jeter and David Boreanaz, according to
friends and gossip that she will neither confirm nor deny. But people who know the score (as
opposed to scumbags who like to get close to the scandal, as Uchitel describes the other set of
talkers) say that the hosts don't generally get involved with the clients. There are one-offs, yes,
things happen, people develop crushes, they fall in love. But for the most part, women in
Uchitel's position don't sleep with their clients. They don't have to. There are plenty of willing
girls. Younger girls and drunker girls.
Next: What the current clubs for the rich and famous in New York are.
In New York, the current clubs for the rich and famous and those who want to meet them are 'Oak,
Avenue, Provocateur, and SL. Rose Bar and Boom Boom Room don't do bottle service and are
thus considered on the outskirts of its culture, though the latter, with its notoriously tough door
policy, is the most exclusive late-night venue in town. Greenhouse, Juliet, Tenjune, and the rest
are middle-of-the-road. Former hot spot Marquee is virtually off the radar for the cool crowd,
having been all but replaced by its ownersNoah Tepperberg and former Uchitel beau Jason
Strausswith Avenue. Clubs have a short life span, and generally the owners of one that's gone
stale will open another instead of revamping the old, keeping the old one around to make
money off the people who couldn't get in when it was hot.
On a recent Thursday night around 2 a.m., 'Oak is packed. The tables, U-booths near the D.J., are
spotted with candles and spired with bottles of Grey Goose. Under the jaundiced glow of the
spotlights, there are hands on rears and girls in small dresses and men in shiny striped shirts.
They have carefully chosen their clothes and they have spent time in front of mirrors trimming
hair from nostrils and tonight is about sex and status and supply and demand and have and
have not. After Jay-Z and Lady Gaga have had their third and fourth plays of the evening,
thumping up from the floor comes the Kings of Leon, their song Use Somebody. The general-
admission crowds dance, and the table crowds dance a little more woodenly, a little more
entitledly, with their finger pads on their tables. The promoters are dancing with the models
and the waitresses are dancing with the bottles and everybody finds a place on the floor.
The floor people, they are just to fill the place up. The celebrities and the athletes and the tycoons are
the ones for whom this world is zealously designed. A rung below in after-work pinstripes are
the money guys, the Deutsche guys and the Goldman guys and the no-name hedge-fund
guysthe whalesguys like that one over there in a Boss suit and John Lobb shoes, standing beside
the table that cost him $3,000. Standing very close to it, like a Little Leaguer who wants to steal
second but has never done it before. This gentleman's not dancing, but he's thinking about it.
Soon Beyonce will call all the single ladies to action and they will channel toward him in a
centripetal swoosh.
The women. Models at the top, near-models who have not made it yetwho have done a catalogue,
maybeare a step below, straight-haired and Louboutin-heeled, tanned and bored and exacting.
EFTA_R1_01484305
EFTA02418808
These girls usually arrive with a promoter, someone hired by the club on a freelance basis to
bring in a certain group of people. Indeed, nearly every job at a club is about bringing people in.
There are hipster promoters who only bring in hipsters and model promoters who only bring in
models, and some promoters daylight as male models. There are mosquitoes, rats, gnats,
leeches, agents, and then you have promoters, says Steve Lewis. A promoter is a glorified pimp.
But then, everyone's a pimp. Some promoters don't even refer to models as models. Lewis will
often get texts that say, I'll be rolling deep with about a dozen hookers.
Next in line are the cocktail waitressesin the nightclub glossary, they are also called bottle waitresses,
bottle girlscarrying Grey Goose and Cristal high above their heads. If you buy two or more
bottles at once, they will sometimes deliver them with sparklers. So if you're paying $2,400 for
two $30 bottles of vodka, now the whole room will know. The models or near models will see
the fireworks and float over, moths to green light. The bottle girls are so tired. You can tell
when the sparklers light up their faces. Bottle waitresses don't get excited for two bottles and a
sparkler. Try ten bottles and a black AmEx.
Rachel Uchitel wants to make it very clear that she is not, nor was she ever, a bottle girl. I don't even
know how to open a bottle. These women are commodities, the type of girl who, in Uchitel's
opinion, might just as easily have wound up working in a strip club. They know what they're
getting into, she says. They tell you up front, that they're staffing model positions, like the
shirtless guys outside of Abercrombie. And there are contracts about appearance. No matter
how beautiful, the bottle girls are told that there are thousands of girls waiting to replace them.
They see them on the street. They see them in their clubs.
Next: You're a bottle waitress, and that means you're half a stripper and half a pimp.
Kim is a 26-year-old brunette and a veteran of the bottle service. She's served at a lot of Manhattan
clubs, working her way up from third-tier places to the most exclusive ones. Kim is not her real
name because she's worried. Everybody knows bottle girls by first name and hair color. In a
Nolita coffee shop by daylight, she's got a gothic pallor to her. You can tell she's the kind of girl
who at night looks totally different.
You're a bottle waitress, and that means you're half a stripper and half a pimp, she says. If you don't
book a client, you're fired. Most places I worked, I had to sign a confidentiality agreement
about celebrities. I have a friend who sold pictures of a celebrity. If anyone found out, she'd
never work in this town again. Forget that. She'd never go out in this town again.
Bottle girls, like VIP hosts, are expected to have client lists. Early in the evening, she will text her clients.
I'm working tonight and my favorite D.J. is spinning. Come by! They come because she is pretty
and she has flirted with them. Hey, baby. Hey, handsome. You lost weight. Sugar honey sexy
baby handsome. They come because she's someone whose backside they can palm, someone
who will kiss them at 3 a.m. between tables.
One night, Kim had two clients come in. The owner of a major sports franchise and a Middle Eastern
royal. I couldn't entertain them both myself, so I went and grabbed two modelsshe makes a
motion with both her hands as though she is plucking up two cats by the napes of their
necksand I dropped them at the tables.
At the tables, the bottle girls will up-sell their clients. They push Champagne because it goes faster than
vodka, and they steer them away from the Veuve/Moet and toward the Krug/Cristal. Kim was
making between $1,000 and $3,000 a night in tips.
And that, she says, doesn't include what's going on behind the scenes. She smiles, and it is not
EFTA_R1_01484306
EFTA02418809
suggestive but matter-of-fact. You're making hooker money, right? So, if it walks like a duck and
talks like a duck
On her blog, SexDrugsandBottle Service.tumblr.com Kim elucidates the difference between bottle
hooking and real hooking: Bottle Hookering I've made upwards of $1,500 in a night, and I don't
have to sleep with any of my clients.' Though I do have to flirt with them, booty dance with
them, call them, hang out with them, occasionally procure girls and party favors' for them, all
while wearing teeny tiny outfits. So I suppose it's a form of social prostitution. Her counterpart,
a college call girl whose blog Kim reads in her downtime, makes significantly less. Her prices are
$100 for a handy, $150 for a BJ, $200 for doin' it, she writes. Mine are $400 for a bottle of Grey
Goose, $300 for Veuve, $700 for Cristal.
Kim became a bottle girl after she graduated from a very good college on the East Coast. I figured: I'm
cute, I'm young, I can make a shitload of money, so, she says, holding up two middle fingers,
fuck it! She had previously worked as a restaurant waitress, and she wasn't naive about the
difference between that job and this one. If you say you're a bottle waitress, it's better than
saying you're a stripper. But it's the same thing as being a stripper, she says. What she means
by stripper is someone who is a touchable commodity. There is never money exchanged, but
there are gifts the following week. Pairs of Louboutins, Louis Vuitton bags, trips. It's not unusual
for a bottle waitress to take two days off and fly to Vegas with a client. She won't get fired for
that, so long as when they return, the client will spend large at the club.
lust last week at Haze in Las Vegas, a whale left a $30,000 tip on top of the automatic 20 percent
gratuity of his $182,000 bill. A girl can make up to $100,000 a year, working just three nights a
week.
But it's not just about the money, says Steve Lewis. For most of them, it's the thrill of calling their friends
back home. Girls are getting into the hottest clubs in town, they are meeting celebrities. They
call their girlfriends back home, Oh my God! I was hanging out with So-and-so! He was so nice!'
At one point, Kim says, every single girl I knew was sleeping with a celebrity. It's the access. Some of the
girls definitely think, He's going to fly me to California and make me his wife!' But then most of
them are just like, Guess who I just did in the bathroom?'
Next: How the job the job eventually lost its glow for Kim.
But most of the men Kim would never be involved with in the real world. She had one client, a fat dude
from Long Island, whose money and status came from being the close relative of a celebrity. He
thought I was his girlfriend, it was so gross. It was pathetic. She never touched him, like that. At
dinner, she would choose the wineBarolo, if we needed something full-bodiedand that was as
far as it went. There was a courtesan, geisha feel to it, says Kim. But he was valuable to her. She
would have him pick her up from staff meetings, roll up in his car so she could show off her
catch. The bigger the whale you reel, the better a bottle girl you are. The more you siphon from
the whales, the more you mean to the club.
For Kim, the job eventually lost its glow. One night, she was taken off her shift as punishment for not
selling enough bottles. The girls are expected to be sociable on their nights off, so she came to
the club anyway as a patron with a big client in tow. When his friends left, the client began to
grope her. They were kissing and she hated every second and she was being mashed into the
couch and when she looked up at one point she saw her manager, watching them. Smiling like
he'd forgiven her, he said, I'm going to leave you kids alone.
EFTA_R1_01484307
EFTA02418810
I felt pimped, she says.
Another time, at another club, Kim slapped a whale who reached his hand up her skirt and she got fired.
Now she works behind a bar. She makes a lot less money. But nobody is touching her. There's a
whole bar between me and the men now, she says, and she draws the width with her hands.
Now girls come out expecting to find Tiger Woods, says Andrew Parker. It's a Thursday night, and we are
at CV Lounge on the Lower East Side, which is not one of the big-name exclusive venues but has
a certain cacheUay-Z and Diddy have stopped in to check out the private couple's room. Parker
is a 40-year-old dandy, dressed in a self-designed suit and an ebullient pocket square and tinted
glasses. He used to own a clothing store on the Upper East Side, but mostly he is known for
being at parties, a launch for a small-batch bourbon, the premiere of a Ugandan film.
There is a new breed of girls coming to the clubs, he is saying, wanting to hunt the big game like Tiger.
But it's harder now than ever, because the inverse is also true. Men have been warned by what
happened to Woods. They are more cautious when they meet a girl. They don't give last names
or occupations.
The odds of even meeting an investment banker who will really take care of you are slim, says Parker.
Girls are more likely to run into guys like Parker. He hosts tables, which means he is a sometime
promoter, and the club will give him a table and a few free bottles with the understanding that
he will bring in some pretty girls. He dresses like he has money, he goes out like he has money.
But he doesn't really have the kind of money they're looking for.
I've had at least a dozen girls over the past year not call me back because I don't have as much money as
they thought I did. His good suit shrugs. I slept with them. I wasn't planning on marrying them
anyway.
If you're looking for whales, you go out on Thursday night. Bankers go to Avenue and lOak on
Thursdays. Mainly, these guys just want a girl for a night. Possibly a long weekend in Vegas or
Miami. To meet these guys, a pretty girl just needs to hang around their table or wait for a VIP
host or a bottle waitress to pluck her from the bar and say, Come on over and drink at this
booth. The girls who are more experienced at this game will already be at a table with other
men. Possibly, they will be looking to trade up, from traders to hedge funds or from hedge
funds to celebrities.
Speaking of girls looking to trade up, here at the table with Parker are two quotidian examples whom
we'll call Kelly and Rebecca. Both 24, they aren't models and they aren't beautiful but they're
young enough and pretty enough. Rebecca is quiet but smiling. Kelly says she's a freelance
banker. They get to the bottom of their drinks quickly and often.
Next: How most of the foreign girls girls operate.
Kelly is wearing an eighties-style dress, all geometric shapes and latitudinous shoulders. She is hooking
up with a 20-year-old male model but he's not here tonight and she's got her eye out for
something else. Girls like her are either dating older men with money or young and good-
looking ones without. There is a stupendous symmetry to this. The rich old men want to be
young and good-looking and the young ones want to be rich, but both are sleeping with the
same girl.
EFTA_R1_01484308
EFTA02418811
Now Kelly gets up, first her shoulders and then the rest of her. Where are you going? says Parker. She
mutters something unintelligible. She's wasted. Parker smirks and says, She's trading up. Later,
Parker will see her leaving The Box, being escorted out of The Box, rather, by security. She will
be crying and angry and her dress will look like it needs a rest.
Also at CV that night is Parker's friend Ricardo Garcia, a former hedge-fund guy turned PR guy and a
promoter on the side. For him, it's less a way to make money than it is a sweet gig with
benefits.
Garcia says everyone is aware of how it works. American girls, I take them out to a nice restaurant, he
says, to the cool clubs, and they're satisfied with that. That's what they get out of it. American
girls are looking at the kind of wine you order. But Russian girls, they're after the serious shit.
They want the Mercedes. Out at dinner, they're plotting ahead. They're calculating. They're
professional.
Most of the foreign girls come from bootleg modeling agencies. Places nobody has heard of, or maybe a
friend has taken some shots of them in their Brighton Beach one-bedroom. Fembot-pink bras
and crappy lighting. Money-hungry Russian girls go to the Boom Boom Room looking for serious
bank, says Garcia. They say they're students or models, but you ask them what agency and they
say, Oh, I don't like talking about that' American girls are not as obvious. They pinpoint banker
guys, they're looking more for marriage or boyfriends. Maybe Italian girls and German girls will
go to Cipriani Downtown.
Oh, Cipriani is a fucking haven, says another guy at the table. It's the No. 1 spot in Manhattan for
hookers and half-hookers. The difference between hookers and half-hookers is that the former
will ask for money straight away, and the latter will ask for gifts. They follow the money as the
money follows the seasons along the worldwide circuit of bottle service. St. Barts in December,
Miami in March, Las Vegas in May. In New York, half-hookers hang out at steak places like Del
Frisco's. Or the Friday-night parties at Le Cirque.
These kinds of girls, this is how you spot them. Garcia says, You have to look at the discrepancy between
her income and her lifestyle. These girls are going to St. Barts in May, Gstaad in winter. Their
rent is three grand a month, and they don't have a roommate. Dresses cost them $1,000,
$2,000. VIP hosts and bottle girls are half-pimps to these half-hookers, using them to keep their
clients satiated. While some bottle girls will sleep with patrons, for the most part their
interactions are limited to the confines of the club. Party girls are more like freelancers, and sex
is their currency.
The exchange happens like this. A girl will say to a guy she has not slept with yet, but perhaps they have
kissed or she's let him touch her, I'm short on my rent or There's this dress I really want. After
sleeping with him a few times, she might say, I need a tan. I should go to Miami. The beauty is
in the subtle gaucheness.
There is no nightly prostitution for the half-hookers, says Garcia. It's a weekly thing, or a monthly thing.
And when both sides have gotten what they want, they move on. Unlike with true escorts and
some bottle girls, these party girls won't admit what they're doing. This is because most of
them can't admit it to themselves. Some girls are looking for husbands. Rich ones, but yes, they
are looking to settle down. Garcia takes out his phone and shuffles to a picture of a gorgeous
Swedish blonde. He says she was getting too expensive, asking for rent money. I had to send
her home. Andrew Parker's friend had to pay a girl to leave. She was squatting at his
apartment, they weren't even having sex anymore. She wanted twenty grand, he says. They
settled on ten.

In the post-Woods era, girls will be looking for moreperhaps even the ultimate cash-in, to become $10
million babies.
Next: Why Uchitel had to quit nightlife.
Rachel Uchitel had to quit nightlife because of the fallout from the Woods scandal. In nightclubs, she has
become the very embodiment of what happens when you break the code of quiet. In VIP
concierge parlance, she is less an alleged mistress than a cautionary tale: Don't pull a Rachel
Uchitel. Friends have betrayed her, for money or for the thrill of being close to the muck. None
of those people know me, she says. They just want to pretend they know what the fuck they're
talking about.
But she admits that the fame she has acquired can be parlayed. She has been offered partial ownership
in a club on the East Coast, as well as numerous other gigs. A couple of days ago, I got invited to
the Masters to host a radio show, which obviously I said no to, she says, but it sounded cool.
They offered me a house with a private chef.
At celebrity blogger Perez Hilton's birthday party, Rachel Uchitel walked the red carpet. It was
pandemonium, she says, laughing. She wore an off-the-shoulder black dress and Prada
snakeskin heels. People were screaming her name, cameras were trying to get her attention
this time by saying how beautiful she was. I was like a deer in headlights, but then I totally got
into it and I started posing. Katy Perry rode in on an elephant, and hot-pantsed men were
dancing. Uchitel spoke to Hilton, who had written nasty things about her. I realized he was
doing his job, and it was his job to say scandalous things. So when we saw each other, it was like
Oh my God, hi!' We didn't even discuss it.
Uchitel is reaching the point at which the scandal evaporates and all that is left is the camera and the
interest and a condensed feeling of fame. Nobody asked me about him, she says. It was great.
Many of Woods's alleged mistresses have tried to cash in on their notoriety in one way or another.
Though perhaps it is not so much cashing in as it is figuring out a way to move forward after
you've become famous for something that isn't what you thought you'd become famous for.
But there is one other person who sees awesome opportunity in the world that Tiger Woods exposed.
Jason ltzler, the former founder of high-profile escort agency New York Confidential and
inventor of the so-called girlfriend experience (GFE), thinks there is an untapped potential in
the half-hooking that goes on in nightclubs.
That's where trends in prostitution are headed, he says. Guys go crazy for the GFE shit. He's envisioning
bottle waitresses becoming close with the clients the way they do now. But instead of doing
what the bottle girls do sporadically and for an unspecific payback, Itzler's girls would have sex
(or perhaps just president-and-intern sex) and get paid. Full hookers, but in a social
environment, with less stigma attached.
VIP areas in clubs expose the most disposable income in the country, Itzler says. The potential for
making money is through the roof. He laughs and begins considering partners, locations, and
outfits.
I would call it, he says dreamily, the Tiger Club.
