Someone on another site called my attention to the fact that I have a lot of stripper books in my wish list. Actually, he point out ASKED if I was one (I'm not!). But I looooooooooove reading about their lives (esp memoirs). I really DO have a lot on my WL (and am always adding more to my RL until I can bump them over). I've really enjoyed them. I know it's not exactly "chick lit" but I wonder why I find this fascinating, and I bet some of the other ladies on this thread do too.

How funny!!! I've never read any, but wouldn't be against reading them. I'll have to check out your WL and maybe check into getting 1 or 2 from the library. Are there any you've already read & recommend? I always find it interesting to read books about peoples lives, rather it be fiction or non-fiction. Especially when they're lives are so different from yours. I'm a boring, wife & mother, so I think that's why I like chick lit so much.

I really liked (and recommend) "Strip City" (more of a memoir) and "Chloe Does Yale" (fictiony). I'm trying to remember what else. I finally got "Candy Girl" by Diablo Cody but it's way, way down on my TBR pile. There may have been one or two others that I have read and just don't quite remember. Oh, I did read "Callgirl" but thought it was way too talky and the writer a tad full of herself. Ditto with "Madam" (same author, but she's writing from the other side of the fence). I do have a lot on my WL that can get you started checking around. I'm kind of amazed b/c I didn't notice the "theme" till the guy on TT brought my attention to it! And I'm sure you're not a BORING mom! The world needs good moms. I have one :-).

Oh, I think I have Chloe Does Yale on my TBR pile & I'll see if my local library has Strip City or Candy Girl. I'm the same way though...pick a topic and stick with it for a while.  Thanks, but I can assure you my daughter would tell you I'm boring...no matter how much I take her shopping or try to play gutiar hero with her! lol

I just finished Candy Girl and I loved it!  It was very funny and very raunchy.  It was a good quick read. 

If you want something along these lines, I recommend The Washingtonienne by Jessica Cutler. Most of it is pure shock, but it's one of those you can't put down!

She's not a stripper :-). She may have a lot of sex, and the cover of the book may be BOOBS, and some people may think that what goes on in DC has quite a bit in common with what goes on in the sex industry, but it's not at all related. :-)

I was ordering some stuff from B&N (got a gift card, I can't help it!) and found "Piece of Cake" by Cupcake Brown on clearance. I had forgotten that one (I believe she's an escort AND stripper). I remember thinking she would have a really good story to tell.

Sorry. I saw you mention Call Girl and Madam, so I assumed the conversation had expanded. I think this is the second time I have only half read what you said Heather. I am off to read a book instead! lol

No worries. It is still an excellent book recommendation. Sometimes I see books I've read but don't or hardly remember (like that one) and think I should just get them again and read them again. There are so many Red Dress Ink ones where I remember the cover but they don't at all sound familiar (this was before I got onto the swap sites, so I don't have a record). But it's the same with that book too. I remember tiny bits, but it's probably one I would enjoy reading again.
