HEATHENS, COWBOYS AND THE SANTA ANA WINDS

Palm trees, a wild sweet breeze, fortunes told, green tea leaves, naked hips, Freudian slips, loose lips, sandalwood embers in warm amber sunsets, a city of angels with no angels, a haven for heathens, cowboys and nymphos.

1986, LA

The Club: Helena's | Helena’s, a private membership-only nightclub, opened on the corner of LA’s Rampart Boulevard and West Temple Street in 1985. It was founded by the actress and belly dancer Helena Kallianiotes. With the strictest of no-photo policies, LA glamour could meet unrestrained debauchery. Stars like Marlon Brando, Madonna, Jack Nicholson, Meryl Streep and Prince were all members and found refuge there. By 1991 its doors closed, but the stories of its undocumented nights live on.
