“promoter’s job is to stage a show of two types of power—wealth and beauty—embodied in the form of rich men and girls, respectively.”

“The wealthy spenders at every VIP club, everywhere in the world, are almost always heterosexual men.”
― Very Important People: Status and Beauty in the Global Party Circuit

“Simply by being there and looking beautiful, they generate enormous value for the club industry, the individual men operating within it, and the larger urban economy of New York City. Their value emerges from the very specific conditions in which they are seen. Most importantly, these “girls” exist in an altogether different social category from women. And because I want readers to experience this difference, I strategically use the term “girl” from here on without quotation marks to refer to this category of women in the VIP arena. Because in this rarefied world there is an unspoken but widely understood logic: girls are valuable; women are not.”
