What kind of woman dances naked for money? Bernadette Barton takes
us inside countless strip bars and clubs, from upscale to back road
as well as those that specialize in lap dancing, table dancing,
topless only, and peep shows, to reveal the startling lives of
exotic dancers. Originally published in 2006, the product of years
of first-hand research in strip clubs around the country, Stripped
is a classic portrait of what it's like for those who choose to
strip as a profession. Barton explores why women begin stripping,
the initial excitement and financial rewards of the work, the
dangers of the life-namely, drugs and prostitution-and, inevitably,
the difficulties in staying in the business over time, especially
for their relationships, sexuality and self-esteem. In this
completely revised and updated edition, Barton returns to the strip
clubs she originally studied to observe the major changes in the
industry that have occurred over the last decade. She examines how
"raunch culture" affects exotic dancers' treatment by their
clientele, who are now accustomed to seeing nudity and sexualized
performance in accessible, R and X -rated media from a variety of
outlets, particularly the Internet. Barton explores how new media
has transformed exotic dancing, allowing dancers to build an online
brand, but also introducing possibilities for customers to take
unauthorized nude photos and videos of the entertainers.. And
finally, Barton speaks to new dancers as well as dancers she
interviewed in the previous edition, examining how the toll of
stripping still impacts the lives of exotic dancers in a changing
industry. Incorporating new scholarship, new observations, and
increased awareness of emerging media technology, Barton brings a
fresh and important perspective on the challenges that women face
working in the still-thriving world of exotic dancing.
