Publisher's Synopsis
'Get 'em off!' several girls called out. This caught on like wild fire, as the whole club erupted with the same chant: 'Get 'em off!' 'Get 'em off!' 'Get 'em off!' - Referring to the boys' G-string thongs... The penny dropped as the light bulb lit up - WOW!! I've got a Show! As these explosively salacious memoirs reveal, Bari Bacco earned his title of 'Male Strip King' over the years, taking his show on tour from humble beginnings in a small Soho nightclub to touring the world, and becoming the most famous Male Strip group in Europe. He was inspired by the famous Levi's TV commercial from 1987 - featuring a handsome hunky young man walking into a launderette, stripping off his jeans down to his white boxer shorts, throwing them into the wash as two girls peered over their magazines at his sexy physique. Bari pioneered the concept of a male strip show for women: Fantasy images of tanned young men, with chiseled physiques and bulging at the seams? He reveals the ups and downs of his strip group, he founded and managed for many years, including their mischief and hedonistic behaviour, their meetings with world-famous figures as Diana Princess of Wales, Elton John, celebrities and film stars, including their co-starring dance roles in the Spice Girls' hit film Spice World. Sometimes his group was also his worst nightmare, as the boys antics got out of control. In this expose, Bari reveals the seedy side, never far below the glamour and glitz. The Power Behind The Pouch is an insider's view of the early days of what is now a multi-million pound industry. Bari is a sharp-eyed and quick-witted guide to this showbiz tale with a difference. (All events and stories apply only to the period between 1987-2011, and have no connection or association to any other companies or management thereafter).
