Live Nude Girls is a liberating, inspirational portrait of women who refuse to let the sexual nature of their work cloud their certainty that they are being exploited by management. But a business that bills itself as a compassionate workplace turns out to be as dictated by the economic bottom line as any of the sex clubs that dot San Francisco's cityscape. Dancers of color are given fewer opportunities, senior dancers are discouraged from sticking around as their salaries rise, and inadequate safety measures are taken to protect those Lusty Ladies who writhe and pose behind glass.
Query is a feisty tour guide of the ins and outs of the peep show business.
Query's own tenure at the Lusty Lady, to supplement her meager wages as a stand-up comic, is influenced by her divorced mother's strong feminist example. Use this address for linking. Creative Loafing Inc. All rights reserved.
