Excerpt:

     My name is Lacey Lane and I take off my clothes ... for a living. At least, I used to. I retired my g-string awhile back and said goodbye to the stripping scene. During my seven years of topless tenure, I performed at a plethora of strip clubs, bikini bars, and exotic entertainment establishments throughout the country, using more aliases than any ten participants in the federal government's Witness Protection Program. As you can probably imagine, I met thousands of interesting and unusual people along the way—heavy stress on unusual—and the stories I took with me deserve to be chronicled, if only for their entertainment value. Those who have had the pleasure of watching me strut my stuff already got more than their money's worth.
     This book is full of outlandish tales from my time in the peek-a-booty biz, but it's more than that. It's a Strip Club 101 of sorts; not only will my accumulated wisdom furnish you with a little extra insight into the world of the topless dancer, but it should help you get more bang for your buck the next time you visit your favorite skin palace. While it's no secret that all you macho hairy-chested testicle owners rule the modern world (although Oprah Winfrey and others are clawing their way into serious contention), when you step inside a strip club, the roles are immediately reversed. Here, the dancers are the hunters and the men are the prey. So trust me when I tell you, you need all the help you can get.
     Tales from the VIP Room isn't a scathing tell-all or some tawdry tabloid-esque exposé, so all names and places have been changed to protect the innocent—or the guilty, depending on how you look at it. But don't think for a second that this account is any less accurate or entertaining. Quite the contrary, actually. Omitting true identities has actually afforded me the literary freedom to serve you my memories on the half-shell. In essence, raw and untainted.
     Somewhere between inanimate smut magazines and full-service prostitution is the niche occupied by strip clubs. This fascinating industry, an equal mixture of endless fantasy and hardcore reality, is different for all those involved in it—be it for business or pleasure. For me, it was a combination of both. And so, without further ado, I give you Confessions of a Stripper: Tales from the VIP Room. Enjoy!
