The Lusty Lady

About this book

When Erica Langley approached the female management of Seattles Lusty Lady she was told that to photograph the peep show dancers she would have to become one. Through photos and texts that are both candid and affectionate humanizing and humorous readers see behind the impenetrable armor of naked dancers documented by one of their own. Complete with extensive interviews which allow the people to speak for themselves Langleys work juxtaposes stage personas with real people showing the love humor and boredom behind the scenes and the humanity behind the stigma and shame. 180 photos.
