Customer Reviews

great insight

This was a great insight to the stripper's world. I love that she makes a point to say that the women are in charge, and that they run the show. The men are panting, willing money-slaves and very readable and predictable. I have a friend whose husband had been to strip clubs (many couneling sessions later they are still married), and he couldn't get through the first chapter. As a man, he assumed the men were in control, but he was VERY enlightened and quite a bit embarrassed to learn otherwise. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because she kept saying things like (not direct quotes, I am ad-libbing) "these certain things were disgusting but I never did them", when describing other strippers as if she were plantes above them in some way. But I have more respect for exotic dancers now, though. Great read.

very entertaining.....good read

This author put together a well written book with some great stories in it. I enjoyed reading the book and read it in one night. Lap Dancers was another good book about exotic dancers. Dance to Despair (memoirs of an exotic dancer) is also a must read for anyone who is interested in this topic.

I laughed my ass off

Stereotypical characters? Maybe, but it all rang so true for me. There is a reason for the stereotype. This was such a great entertaining read; I read the book twice back to back. Lacey, girl, you're hilarious. I've recommended your book to many co-workers & they've all loved it. I don't know what Mr. Phoenix's problem is (maybe that he lives in Phoenix?) but your book rocks. I was thinking about writing a book on my experiences but now see it's already been done. Brava to you.

I absolutely loved this book

I've read about 20 books of late about strippers/sex workers & can honestly say that this one & Strip City by Lily Burana are my two favorites, with Lacey Lane slightly edging Ms. Burana out. They both made me laugh out loud & I couldn't put either one down but Ms. Lane's comes out on top because there aren't endless descriptions of outfits in it. hahaha Not that I don't appreciate the fascination with fabulous dancewear, it just wasn't my thing. This is just excellent entertainment & I wish I'd read it BEFORE I blew my savings on strip clubs. My one criticism of this book is that it's too dang short. Man, I would've LOVED to hear more more more.I've given copies to my favorite dancer friends (we have a sort of strip club reading club going on) & they agree with me. Very fun, very entertaining book. Not what you'd want if you're looking for intense sociological studies but for great behind-the-scenes tales & a wicked sense of humor, Lacey Lane's your best bet.
