Rating:  Summary: who knew that stripping could be so boring Review: As someone that works in the sex industry - i am always looking for material that doesn't demean or ridicule girls in my field. Frankly, this book did just that. Lacey Lane held herself up to be a pristine stripper with morals of gold - while her fellow dancers are portrayed to be a little more nasty and a little more seedy, and a little more willing to do anything for a dollar. In the beginning Ms Lane hints that her life, like the life of any dancer, was chock full of drama ... and yet we heard very little about it.
As for the actual tales from the VIP room, I have heard them all before, and they were told with a little more vim and vigor the first time I heard them.
I was so disappointed in this book
Rating:  Summary: I absolutely loved this book Review: 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.

Rating:  Summary: I laughed my ass off Review: 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.
Rating:  Summary: Surface Skimming Review: This book was lame. After a few chapters about the stereotypical dancer, the stereotypical strip club owner, the stereotypical strip club DJ, The stereotypical strip club bouncer, the author breaks the book into short (1-3 pages)chapters about clients. Each client has a boring story to accompany him (or her) None of them are particularly interesting, shocking, or entertaining. One guy likes feet, one guy likes lingerie. etc. If a skin-a-max movie could be a book, this would be it.
