Download or read book Two Decades Naked written by Leigh Hopkinson and published by . This book was released on 2016-04-26 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Leigh Hopkinson was a university student in Christchurch she worked at a succession of low-paying jobs that paid the rent and fit in around her degree. None of them fit so well, however, as stripping. She figured it couldn't be that difficult - she was just going to dance on stage in front of a bunch of strangers. She'd show them a bit of skin, but the gig wasn't going to last that long. Or so she imagined. While stripping was harder than Leigh thought it would be, she hadn't counted on it being so exhilarating - or lucrative. So when she moved to Melbourne and needed to make a living, the lure of her old job was strong. The world of the strip club had become familiar, even reassuring, though some of the people she met during the course of her job didn't exactly give her faith in the future of humanity. Over the course of Leigh's career, she learnt a lot about other people and even more about herself, and the result is a story that delves into a world that not everyone visits but everyone finds fascinating.

At the age of twenty-four, Diablo Cody decided there had to be more to life than typing copy at an ad agency.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I dance. Naked. For large (and occasionally insultingly modest) sums of money." It all started five years ago in Sydney, Australia when she was just 23: "I still wanted to be a traveler, just not a poor one anymore. So I shaved my legs and bush, showed up to the first Google search result that came up for 'gentlemen's club Sydney, ' got naked for this old fat guy named Jim and, to my surprise, I liked it. A lot." Stripping is about feeling powerful, sexy, and endlessly curious about how far a dude's kinks will go ('show me your armpits') and how much he is willing to pay for them ($1200). And the money's sexy.
