The shockingly dark history of Chippendales

In the ’80s, as many as 900 women a night would press into Chippendales’ Upper East Side club and chant: “We want meat! We want meat!”

The oiled, muscled dancers would comply, stripping down on stage before venturing through the audience to kiss customers and accept dollar bills in their G-string pouches.

When historian and podcaster Natalia Petrzela started researching Chippendales, the classic, campy male revue, she found there was a lot more to it than bachelorette parties and bowties.

“The more I looked at Chippendales the more I realized that this is not just a story about the commodification of women’s liberation,” Petrzela says. “It’s also a story about an immigrant with a big American dream. It’s about capitalism and pop culture in the 1980s. It’s about crime, greed and ambition gone awry.”
