candy girl was a good read, but not really great for looking for a strippers perspective, imho. from what i've heard, she went into the stripping with the intent of writing the book, not because of any financial need but more to get famous, and (it's been awhile since i read it) i don't remember there really being all that much seedy about it. there's a book called "a strippers tail: confessions of a las vegas dancer" (yes, tale is spelled tail in it, and i could have the subtitle wrong) which paints a much more realistic version of what goes on in there from a strippers perspective. but for a memoir, diablo cody comes off much much more trustworthy as a narrator than the lady who wrote "tail." she (tail, not diablo) talks about all the bad stuff she saw the other girls doing but claims innocence herself, has horrible spelling and grammar problems (i don't think anyone edited it), and comes off as a pretty petty person. so i wouldn't really recommend reading 'a strippers tail', just that there's better stuff out there if you want a strippers perspective (and plenty of stuff by call-girls that are surprisingly well written).
