Strip Club: Gender, Power, and Sex Work (Intersections)
In Strip Club, Kim Priceâ€'Glynn takes us behind the scenes at a rundown club where women strip out of economic need, a place where strippers’ stories are not glamorous or liberating, but emotionally demanding and physically exhausting. Strip Club reveals the intimate working lives of not just the women up on stage, but also the patrons and other workers who make the place run: the ownerâ€'manager, bartenders, dejays, doormen, bouncers, housemoms, and cocktail waitresses.
Priceâ€'Glynn spent fourteen months at The Lion’s Den working as a cocktail waitress, and her uncommonly deep access reveals a conflictâ€'ridden workplace, similar to any other workplace, one where gender inequalities are reproduced through the everyday interactions of customers and workers. Taking a novel approach to this controversial and often misunderstood industry, Priceâ€'Glynn draws a fascinating portrait of life and work inside the strip club.

Praise for Jess C Scott's BLACK VELVET:
"Women can be so graphic when writing erotica..." -- Robert F. / via e-mail, June 2010
"There were definitely a lot of incredibly steamy parts...and yet many times I was pleasantly surprised by the gentle, even tender parts of the story, which complemented the raunchy scenes very appropriately." -- Review by unlikelyaristotle, September 2009
EXCERPT:
It's one of those nights. Closed the curtains and locked my room door from the start. Now I'm bringing the lights down a little lower.
This is how I like it. Never mind what I've been "brought up on" and everything else - what the boyfriend would think, what friends would think.
I look at myself in the mirror. I love having a big mirror. I like the undivided attention.
The gear, the get-up? Nothing too fancy - no leather, feather boas, spikes or handcuffs for me. I saw a couple chained to each other by the wrist with a set of cuffs once. They were making out on the street at night.
I'm standing in a simple white camisole. The only other item I have on is a ruffled leopard thong.
I start thinking of what it'd be like if the boyfriend were here.

Linda and Richard Eyre stress that it's never too soon-or too late-to start discussing sex and values with your children, and they've got proven strategies to make it easier. How to Talk to Your Child About Sex provides thoughtful, clear, specific guidance on when and, most important, how to help children begin to understand sex, love, and commitment from the most positive viewpoint possible.
Preliminary "as needed" talks with three-to eight-year-olds The age eight Big Talk Follow-up talks with eight-to thirteen-year-olds Behavior discussions with eleven-to sixteen-year-olds Discussions of perspective and personal standards with fifteen-to nineteen-year-olds Few parents enjoy those oh-so-important talks with children about the "facts of life." The fact is, you can (and probably should!) begin the conversation as soon as a child turns 3 years old. As for the delicate wording--Linda and Richard Eyre (Teaching Your Children Values) have plenty of suggestions in their comprehensive, step-by-step guide, How to Talk to Your Child About Sex. Starting with the "Preliminary 'As Needed' Talks with Three-to-Eight Year-Olds," the Eyres arrange their chapters by age, including the "The Age Eight 'Big Talk'" and numerous chapters on talking with preteens and adolescents.
The authors also describe what's normal sexual behavior for each stage of development and how to plant the seeds of appreciation of one's body and the later respect for commitment and love. They examine how parents can stay true to their moral and spiritual values while staying connected to their teenagers' sexual reality. Parents will especially appreciate the up-to-date research, such as current statistics about adolescent fears, desires, and activity surrounding sexuality. --Gail Hudson
