3.0 out of 5 stars
it's about life,
By A Customer
This review is from: Naked is the best disguise: My life as a stripper (Hardcover)
lauri writes well of her life experiences and her experiences in boston's combat zone where she strips for 4 years, ending her career in 1980 (or 81). she tells of the struggle of coming to terms with herself, her job, the other women, her lover, her family and her cocaine habit. although not all questions are answered by the end of the book, you still feel a hope for her that you might not have felt at the beginning of the book. this book is graphic and depressing, but the honesty and soul searching in it are what make the book a worthwhile read. as a dancer myself, i was interested in her experiences, as a person i was touched by them.

i knew her,
By A Customer
This review is from: Naked Is the Best Disguise: My Life As a Stripper (Paperback)
for the people who wrote bad reviews of this book, it may not be the best written - but it's not terrible, and the person who stated in their review that theydon't believe she danced for more than 2 weeks - i knew lauri lewin at the time of the book, and i kept in touch with her; we went to school together during the time the book is about, and were very good friends. there ARE people who are somewhat naive and at16 years old, her family abandoned her, with the exception of her sister, with whom she was very close - hardly "fierce competition" - and lauri was dancing bcs she had to do something for money. she WAS an honor student, and she WAS ignorant about those bars, but learned - and danced for 5 years. she was very little girl looking which was popular with men and bar owners, who hired her. i know other dancers who quit certain clubs bcs at that time, they did force girls into prostitution. other places and clubs did not. i also danced, for 10 years, in a different area. lauri is now a PhD in women's history, successful author - besides this book - and popular university professor, wife, and mother of two girls. Eat her dust!!!

JUST ANOTHER STRIPPERS MEMOIR,
By A Customer
This review is from: Naked is the best disguise: My life as a stripper (Hardcover)
What a boring book. It's just another stripper story. Do all the strippers get together and agree on what their life story is going to be. I have dated several strippers and frequented many strip clubs and it seems they all have a sad, boring and depressing story to tell. This one is just a waste of time.
