She would do anything for him. Anything. LINDA LOVELACE: There were a lot of strange things going on at the bar. When we walked in to close out the register—the girls would usually call Chuck to tell him not to come yet. But this one night some of the girls were topless when we got there, and some of them were naked. Let’s just say strange perversions were going on. Chuck said, “I should have called first to make sure things were okay. These girls are getting out of hand! ” CHUCK TRAYNOR: We’d do a turkey raffle, but it really wasn’t a turkey we were rafflin’.
LINDA LOVELACE: Chuck said I could stay at his house, so I wouldn’t have my mother constantly telling me what time to be home and stuff like that. I viewed it as a good opportunity for me in a lot of ways. ” So the three of us took a shower. You know, Linda was no virgin. LINDA LOVELACE: Chuck did have lots of money all the time, and he’d take me to dinner. We’d drive around during the day and stop at some shop, and he’d buy me a shirt or something or a piece of custom jewelry. Some hippie kinda thing.
But I never would’ve done it. CHUCK TRAYNOR: Patsy brought Linda into the bar one night. She was kind of a cute, skinny-looking chick, but she had this big scar down the front of her body. ” Later, I came up with the idea about the necklace to cover the scar. I showed her how to put the beads in front of her and dance topless. Even when the necklace swings or moves, there was still a shadow. So the necklace always drew enough attention away from the scar. LINDA LOVELACE: When I met Chuck, he had a Jaguar and a bar, and it seemed like he had his life together.
