My brief stint stripping

March 5th, 2008

Did I get your attention?
No, I’m currently not, and never have been, a stripper - but reading Diablo Cody’s autobiographical book Candy Girl is about as close to the real thing as I’m ever going to get. I just finished the book a couple nights ago. It’s a humorous “romp” (what ho, a pun?) with lots of juicy (literally) details about the secret life of stripping and working in the sex industry. And believe me, it’s not very glamorous, if you ever thought that rubbing yourself up and down a brass pole in front of a bunch of horny dudes was glamorous in the first place. Which it’s not.
However, the book has heart and finding out just what exactly goes in those sorts of places is pretty interesting. It’s a fast read - I recommend it. Plus, Diablo Cody is just super cool anyway, so how can you miss? Also, this book was written based on a blog she kept during her stripping career. You can read the blog HERE.

PS - if you’re the type that gets offended over the “p” word and other such colorful verbal embellishments, I highly recommend you neither visit Diablo’s blog NOR read her book. Both are chalk full.
