Studio 54 website
My boyfriend and I went to Studio 54 on a Thursday night to see what Dollhouse was all about. The overall concept here is obviously to mimic the famous original Studio 54 that was in NYC in the 1950s, but I don't know enough about the original to comment on how accurate this imitation is.
The layout was unique to me; there was a central raised dance floor flanked by two dance floor balconies above. The second floor had a VIP lounge area and bar along the perimeter of the room and a separate open lounge area. We spent most of our time here, since we almost had the lounge to ourselves. It has its own bar next to very comfy couches whose central focus was a small parquet-wood dance floor with blinking white lights built into the floor. In the darkness, this created the appearance of a floor of hovering lights. Complete with disco ball, dedicated dance lights, and different music than downstairs, this is the ideal spot to show off your moon-walking and floor-spinning dance moves without injuring others.
Dollhouse is a new concept; it's a wonder that other places haven't thought of it yet! At midnight there are about three guys and three girls dressed in flesh-toned, skintight suits that put on a trapeze acrobatic introduction of the Dollhouse concept: Club-goers go to the Dollhouse in the back of the club, pick a person to play dress-up with, tell them what costume to wear (i.e. naughty nurse, bad schoolgirl, dirty maid, policeman, etc.), and "help" them get dressed. We didn't partake in the dress-up, but I noted that when the "dolls" were later dancing on the podiums, they were no longer wearing the skintight suits under the costumes.
Tuesday night is "Eden Night". They are calling for all members of the entertainment industry to party here on Tuesdays. Sounds interesting! Ladies free all night, local men half price with ID.
