Book Cover
Lisa Edelstein as many of you know was a club kid in the 80's. and in her friend James St. James' book she is BRIEFLY described. here's what he says (includes links to pictures and articles mentioned.)

the only mention of Lisa in the book, (and he doesn't use her name but one can infer that this refers to Lisa)

page 44 from Party Monster (previously Disco Bloodbath) by James St. James:

"... I enlisted the help of a buxom young girl to counteract my sometimes unnerving flamboyance. She was my sidekick. My partner in crime.
I schooled her in the art of schmoozing.
I even went so far as to make up flash cards to help her remember who stood where in the social scheme of things.
"Who's this?" I asked as I held up a laminated card.
"Cornelia Guest!"
"Very good. Now what's her dog's name?"
"Mr. Whiskers."
And then we would actually see Cornelia out and about, well, we were her BEST FRIENDS! We would hug her and kiss her: "how is Mr. Whiskers?" and she played right along, too embarrassed to admit she didn't know us from a hole in the wall.

....... (talks about rules of clubbing and how they joined the club scene)......


That's what we did. We climbed our way into their charmed little circle. Me and my booby best friend. We were dubbed "celebutantes" by Newsweek magazine and soon we were the toast of the town...."


I recommend the book but it has VERY adult content. please, read at your own discretion

This is insane, I had no idea about this side of her lol!

I had heard she was a club kid, but I never realized she was the queen of the club world or as it seems from that article you linked!

LOL who would have figured the woman played Cuddy would have been such a party animal!?

ahhh i love it. There are so many reasons to love LE and this side of her is just one of them. In the article it says she doesn't really like drinking and drugs and I'd like to think she wasn't too wild but just enough. ;)
