Strip Club

In Strip Club, Kim PriceGlynn 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 ownermanager, bartenders, dejays, doormen, bouncers, housemoms, and cocktail waitresses. PriceGlynn spent fourteen months at The Lions Den working as a cocktail waitress, and her uncommonly deep access reveals a conflictridden 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, PriceGlynn draws a fascinating portrait of life and work inside the strip club.
