Heidi Fleiss: The Wright Thing to Do?

Heidi Fleiss, the former Hollywood Madam turned laundromat owner whose attempt to build a brothel for women in the tiny Nevada town of Crystal was the subject of World of Wonder's poignant 2008 HBO doc Heidi Fleiss: The Would-Be Madam of Crystal, has announced she's abandoned that enterprise. Instead, Fleiss, who lives in nearby Parhump, says she wants to sell the 60 acres she bought in Crystal and focus her attention on the alternative-energy industry. "That's where the money is," she says. "That's the wave of the future. I don't want to work so hard and deal with the nonsense in the sex business." And now, rather than building a brothel, she's thinking of erecting her (wet) dream home, something along the lines of Frank Lloyd Wright's 1924 Ennis House, the Mayan-inspired hilltop mansion overlooking Los Angeles.
