Undressed for Success - Beauty Contestants and Exotic Dancers as Merchants of Morality (Hardcover, 2005 ed.)

Using the tools of performance studies, gender theory, and cultural
history, Brenda Foley explores the striking similarities between
beauty pageantry and striptease. For example, women in both project
a 'normal' femininity and adhere to a strict hierarchy (Miss
America contestants look down upon Miss Universe contestants, while
theatrical 'burlesque artists' saw themselves as far above mere
carnival strippers). Undressed for Success collects extensive
primary source research - newspapers, journals, trade publications,
photography collections, press releases, memoirs, and interviews
with both strippers and pageant contestants - and employs a wide
array of gender, feminist, and performance theory to analyze them.
