LOS ANGELES. — "All the men c6melnthese"lac的; And the men are all the same. Youdon'tk)Qka, their faces; And you d。n' t aak tliejr names. Youion't化lnk of them as hiiman; You don't thlnに6f them at all." 《From Tina Turner,s咖g, "Private Dancers.")

The Flamingo Is one of10 hostess dance halls In Los An9eles where pretty wo men who n的d work findけ, and ITien who a re willing to spend some money do n't have to bealone.
At mo St of the dance halls, It costs 30 Qents a minute, $18 an hour .pius , tip, to talk or dance wはha wo man.
"Here they don't get rejected," 幼Id Elke Way, 23, assistant manager, hostess, and waitress at Club Mikado on FIgueroa Street. "They prefer to pay their time .and .can'dance and have a good time all night."
The hostess dance hall Is a throwback to the taxにdance halls of the World War M era. The meter's a I ways running. They offer talk, no booze, and at times, prostitution.
"We've talked to so me of these 。lrls and they say〖t's not uhcoHiiinon for them to turrv a trick anight for the tune of $100,"said Lt.
