The House of Love is a striptease revue starring Jayne Mansfield and co-starring her husband, Mickey Hargitay.
In December 1960, the Dunes Hotel and Casino launched the revue, produced by Jack Cole. Her wardrobe for the shows featured a gold mesh dress with sequins to cover her nipples and pubic region.Mike Weatherford, Cult Vegas: The Weirdest! The Wildest! The Swingin'est Town on Earth!, pages 230-232, Huntington Press Inc, 2001, Jeff Burbank, Las Vegas Babylon, pages 113-114, Franz Steiner Verlag, 2007, The controversial sheer dress was referred to as "Jayne Mansfield and a few sequins".
Mansfield received US$35,000.00 a week as her salary (US$ in dollars), which was the highest in her career.
A live recording of the show was later released and distributed in 1962 by 20th Century Fox as a live album called Jayne Mansfield Busts Up Las Vegas.Jocelyn Faris, Jayne Mansfield: A Bio-Bibliography, page 130, Westport, CT: Greenwood Press.
