"The bar is really small and at the far end of it, I see a little booth with a slim white girl with short blond hair styled in a pixie cut dancing… like life really fucked her over big time." - Barbara R. Lee from her story “My Life, Stripped Bare,” about the role stripping played in three different eras of her life.
