Product Description
Take a behind-the-scenes no-holds-barred tour of your neighborhood strip club in Confessions of a Stripper--Tales from the VIP Room. These adventures--both high and low--in the topless trade are culled from author Lacey Lane's seven years as an exotic dancer. This book takes you on an outlandish journey, from Lane's self-esteem issues, which provided the impetus for her entry into the skin biz, to the mysterious VIP Room, where anything and everything can happen. It's a parade through the screwy world of the strip club, where freaks, fetishists, scammers, high rollers, perverts, and even normal guys all congregate to partake in prurient fantasies of the flesh. Lane also provides a plethora of helpful hints for men--and women--who routinely frequent strip clubs, from tipping the bouncers and not getting suckered by roses and champagne to negotiating for services and yes, taking home a dancer.

If you're looking for the nitty gritty of the Dancers lives and activity this may not be the book for you - PG-13 at it's best. I was expecting at least an R rating if not more graphic based on the topic and nature of the book. Now that said, it is a wonderful and pleasureable read. Anyone who has visited a Adult Dance Club either as a Patron or Employee will find this a humorous quick read or walk down memory lane... Dancers/Strippers are hard working humans who are professionals and these stories depict the struggles one young lady faces as she struggles to make a living and have fun at the same time doing it... A nice insight to the life of a stripper, er dancer if you prefer. Worth the money spent but I'd suggest a used copy if I were to do it again.
She didn't tell it all March 12, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I read the book expecting some inside information, I did't get it. She didn't tell anything but the odd things and odd people. My ersonal experience over a long period of time and many establishments she wasn't telling what really goes on, at least part of the time with some of t he dancers. Iknkow htere is a lot of fooling around that happens eveywhere than she disclosed.
 Too Tame and too boring! October 17, 2006
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
This one is a fast read, but it's fast because it's boring! The author's issues with self-aggrandizement are really present in her writing...she is perfect and everyone else has the most horrific flaws! She never waivers to put someone down and yet,never makes any intention of trying to figure out why the person is acting/reacting in a certain way. I was bored with her tales of the VIP because none of it was really surprising to me. Actually, I came away wondering why she found it so amusing??
very entertaining.....good read May 10, 2006

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.
 LOVED THIS BOOK !!!! January 20, 2006

I had Danced for 10 years ( Retired my Stipper Shoes a year ago ) and I thought this book was funny , well written , and (as crazy as some of the charactors ...) believable . I laughed out loud quite a few times ! I do not believe she put dancers down or judged them at all ... she simply had her set of boundries ( But was very honest about the things that push or altered her personal boundries and decisions , like money , alcohol , sympathy , ect.) Out of any of the books I'd read on this subject , This was one the best .I will recomend it to anyone whether they've worked in the industry or have not.
