This Is My Real Name' is the memoir of Cid V. Brunet, who spent ten years (using the name Michelle) working as a dancer at strip clubs. From her very first lapdance in a small-town bar to working at high-end clubs, Michelle learns she must follow the unspoken rules that will allow her to succeed in the competitive industry. Deeply personal, this book demystifies stripping as a career with great respect and candor, while at the same time exploring the complex, sex-positive relationships (queer and otherwise) that make it meaningful.
