It details the sado-masochistic parties, orgies and prostitutes that Alfred's money bought. This book tells of their relationship from Vicki's point of view. This set in motion events which would lead to Vicki's brutal murder. After his death, his wife Betsy, cut off the payments. It was Alfred's wish that Vicki be "taken care of" and he signed papers guaranteeing her a sum of money for a specified period of time. Their relationship lasted 13 years and was more than sex. At 17, impressed with Bloomingdale's money and power, Vicki became Alfred's mistress.
He was part of Ronald Reagan's "kitchen cabinet." Vicki Morgan was a poor, confused teenager and unwed mother. This was truly one of a kind.Īlred Bloomingdale was a rich, powerful man. I love how the story describes the high life of power and money while showing, also, how this glitzy path leads to destruction and, in this case, murder. Through the seventies and into the eighties she was getting at least a quarter millon dollars from these different lovers.It's rare that I find a book so compelling.
#ALFRED BLOOMINGDALE HOW TO#
The author, Gordon Basichis, gives us intimate insight into the making of a wordly rich girl who knows how to manipulate men for money, only to be trapped in the game she has profited by for so many years.
He spent nine months with Vicki Morgan and was one of the last people to see her alive. The story is told from the author's point of view. It is not a tale for the faint hearted, but there are strong moral lessons-mainly there is a steep price for the glamour and the money men give for sexual favors.
#ALFRED BLOOMINGDALE SERIES#
This book has an epic sweep as Vicki Morgan, in a vain attempt to escape the married Bloomingdale, encounters a series of adventures with some of the world's most wealthy and powerful men. Here he was, scion of Bloomingdales Department Store, industrial magnate and member of Ronald Reagan's kitchen cabinet and here she was a naive but gorgeous small town girl come to the big city. This is the story of Vicki Morgan, longtime mistress to Alfred Bloomingdale, and the loved they shared, a strange and crazy kind of love that would lead to their mutual destruction. If it wasn't true it would make great fiction, right up there with the sexy potboilers and confessionals I so love to read. This is absolutely one of the wildest biographies I have ever read.
