piemaid 's review for:
Candy Girl: A Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper
by Diablo Cody
i gave this book four stars instead of the three i otherwise would have, due only to the fact that i adore diablo cody and saw 'juno' yesterday which is easily one of my favorite movies of all time. 'candy girl' is written with the same wit and charm and is full of pop culture references, but the subject matter -- stripping -- did make me a little squeamish. i couldn't help feeling sad for her colleagues (if that is the right word) who hadn't chosen this profession out of curiosity or novelty, but had fallen into it through less wholesome means and who (it seemed) were not likely to leave the industry any time soon. also, cody's cavalier attitude towards this rather degrading and patriarchal system did bother me a little. but part of her argument i guess, is that it's not as exploitative as one would think. so, i don't know. i did find the book fascinating in parts and i just loved her writing.
