Publisher's Summary
At the age of 24, Diablo Cody decided there had to be more to life than typing copy at an ad agency. She soon managed to find inspiration from a most unlikely source - amateur night at the seedy Skyway Lounge. While she doesn't take home the prize that night, Diablo discovers to her surprise the act of stripping is an absolute thrill.
This is Diablo's captivating fish-out-of-water story of her yearlong walk on the wild side, from quiet gentlemen's clubs to multilevel sex palaces and glassed-in peep shows. In witty prose she gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at this industry through a writer's keen eye, chronicling her descent into the skin trade and the effect it had on her self-image and her relationship with her now husband.
What the critics say
"Good, frothy fun.... For those of us who have stared, transfixed, from a distance, wondering how the air is up there, Candy Girl is a bracing lungful." (Los Angeles Times)
"Diablo Cody is to stripping what Chuck Klosterman is to pop culture and Sarah Vowell is to American history.... Candy Girl is fiendishly funny, muscle-car fast, and frighteningly - and I do mean frighteningly - accurate." (Lily Burana, author of Strip City: A Stripper’s Farewell Journey Across America)
"[Cody is] a quick, erudite, and funny writer.... One hell of a good story." (Time Out Chicago)
