I had heard about this book and had seen the interview Sam did on This Morning: http://www.itv.com/thismorning/life/stripping-debate/ so i just had to download it to my kindle to have a read of it.
What a fantastic book and it had me hooked from start to finish, although it did get me into trouble on more than one occasion with G as I’ve had my head in this book and all he's got from me is fits of giggles periodically whist I was reading.![]()
Sam started working life at Next in their warehouse and was bored out of her mind doing a normal 9-5 Monday to Friday job. She discovered that her glamorous Aunty Nya was in fact a stripper and sent girls over to Denmark to work in a club. Sam and her friend Alison left Next and embarked on an exciting journey to Denmark and into the world of Nightlife.
After a few years of Denmark Sam and Alison return to the UK and Alison decides she no longer wants to work in nightlife for fear off bumping into someone she knows however Sam loves her job and doesn’t want to stop dancing. She ends up working in 'Diamonds are forever' a club on an industrial site just off the North Circular where she ends up being the top dog and top earner here. It is only due to the house mother leaving to start a family and things changing at the club that makes her realise it’s time for a change and to try the top of the ladder.....Stringfellows.
From Strings she goes to work at 'Liberty Steel' but as the new House Mother where she sets up a school of etiquette, has run-ins with feminists and marches to parliament to object about the government changes to strip club licences.
Her insight to nightlife is gripping, addictive, factual and entertaining as are her descriptions of the customers! Be warned though if you buy this book for beach reading, don’t start it on the plane as your more than likely have finished it before you even land!
I rate this book 10/10 and defiantly the best read I’ve had in a long time.
