1 " I have no respect for burlesque or its practitioners. Brag all they want about being higher class than real strippers, they’re quick to seek bachelor parties on the down low. Hoping to make money for a change. And I’ve never known a burlesque entertainer who wasn’t a drug addict and/or a communist. Not sure which is worse. It’s communist. "

2 " Perhaps the biggest myth about exotic entertainment agencies is that you can choose your entertainer. This is rarely an option anywhere as good private party strippers are far and few between. "
3 " And what the fuck constitutes a ‘Magic Mike tribute show’ anyway? Are the entertainers doing blow onstage? That would be honest within the context of the film’s lies. Go all the way with it. I didn’t pretend to lick a girl’s butthole at a bachelorette party once. I fucking did it. "
4 " Whether a private party or male revue, I always make my entrance in an authoritative manner that instructs the audience, ‘This is my show, and we’re doing it my way.’ Not only does this protect me from unwanted groping, but it’s exactly the alpha male presence that gets every woman’s motor running. Women with money to spend want their male stripper to dominate them. "
5 " This rant makes me love even more my individualistic, rock and roll approach to stripping. It’s fucking gorgeous. To anyone arguing that I wouldn’t make the cut for any Vegas show, you’re goddamn right I wouldn’t. I’m far too creative, adventurous, cerebral, daring, and sexy as fuck inside and out to be anyone’s onstage boy toy. The further along I get with this book, the more obvious it becomes that I am to male strippers what Camille Paglia is to feminists. And that statement coming from a male stripper proves itself. "
