Heidi Fleiss

© Lauren Greenfield

In the middle of the Nevada desert, in a town called Pahrump, Former Hollywood Madam Heidi Fleiss, 41, now lives among a menagerie of exotic parrots.

“If someone had told me I’d have these birds and they’d be like my babies, I’d have said they were out of their minds.” On a nearby 60,000 acre plot she purchased in Crystal, Nevada, Heidi plans to build a brothel which caters exclusively to women and features massage, facials and sex for hire.

In a county where prostitution is legal, the formerly successful Madam thinks the untapped resource of selling sex to women will bring her great fortune. Until then her Laundromat “Dirty Laundry” in Pahrump, Nevada brings in the money and will hopefully defray the costs of building the stud farm.
