  • Hello, this is Outlook.

  • In the late 70s, a new dance troupe was met with screams and dollar bills when they stepped out on stage.

  • This is Chip N Dale's, a nightclub exclusively for women.

  • The only men allowed in the club are the waiters, bartenders and the male dancers.

  • Chippendales started out as a club night where women would come to watch men strip.

  • It then became a global phenomenon.

  • You get on stage with a thousand women, you know you're gonna have fun.

  • The roars and the craziness, it's.

  • It's a real high.

  • How did you feel the first time that you ever performed here?

  • Terrified.

  • I had never done anything like that before.

  • What was the reaction from the audience?

  • Screaming women.

  • I've never seen anything like it in my life.

  • It was a real ego boost.

  • It became so well known, the former president's wife, Laura Bush, even joked about it during a dinner at the White House One night.

  • After George went to bed, Lynn Cheney, Condi Rice, Karen Hughes and I went to Chippendales.

  • I won't tell you what happened, but Lynn's Secret Service code name is now Dollar Bill.

  • But behind the slick facade was resentment, paranoia and murder.
