Non-Fiction Memoir
The true story of a small-town girl who mixed a
prestigious Ivy-League education with the down and dirty
world of stripping.Heidi Mattson successfully united sex and
scholarship to realize a '90s version of the American Dream
by becoming a smart, sassy, self-confident stripper while
attending Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island.
Intelligent and ambitious, she grew up in small-town Maine,
and her whole town applauded when Brown accepted her. But
school and living expenses carried a high price tag-one she
couldn't meet by waiting tables and cleaning houses. A
chance ad brought her to The Foxy Lady, a strip club in
Providence not far from campus. Swearing she would stay only
as long as she didn't feel compromised, she soon became one
of the club's top attractions. In this engrossing story,
Mattson tells us how she did it, how it felt to strip, how
it affected her life, and about her peers, colleagues, and
the men who frequented the strip clubs. Her story sets the
record straight about the world of stripping, a world that
she describes with candor, affection, and warmth.
