Simon Corday has led a life few would believe or even dare to dream of. When she starting dancing at the Mitchell Brother’s infamous O’Farrell club, little did she know the twists and turns her life would take or how they would change her (or San Francisco) forever. In this beautifully written memoir Simone tells her side of the story including her experiences in the sex industry, being the lover of the late Artie Mitchell for nearly a decade, and her friendship with Hunter S. Thompson as well as providing insight into why Jim Mitchell shot and killed his brother Artie, and the trial that followed. This book is a fantastic read and an intriguingly unique story about a time and a club that was truly one of a kind. 2007, 364 pages.
