Intimate Confessions of a London Stripper (Paperback)

---

Product Description

"Girl in High Heels" is Ellouise Moore's totally indiscreet and very sexy account of her time working as a stripper in London. Her career began at a glamorous well-known West End club, where she danced for celebrities and was soon singled out as one of the owner's favourites. She then moved on to work at 'gentlemen's venues' in the East End. Her childhood was spent winning prizes for ballet at her grammar school, but she never thought that one day her dance skills would help her become a hugely successful stripper attracting the attention of rich, powerful men and earning thousands of pounds a night.Following her transformation from a naive and slightly awkward ordinary girl to a confident and sexy stripper, "Girl in High Heels" reveals all the glamour and gossip - as well as the horror stories - from the world she soon found herself immersed in. We learn about the other girls and how they got into the industry, the bitchiness and rivalry, and the illicit sex and hands-on dancing with clients. She describes the various types of clients she danced for: the reluctant, blushing men dragged into the club on their stag night, the regulars who imagined she was their girlfriend, and those with less savoury paedophilic tendencies that she quickly learned to avoid.Then there's the guy who paid for her boob job, and the fellow lap dancer turned stalker who made her life hell. And we see how Ellouise managed to juggle her ordinary life - that of boyfriends, friends and family - with her very unconventional job. Candid and explicit, "Girl in High Heels" is a compelling memoir from a girl who through her career as a stripper really has seen it all.

Customer Reviews

Shows another side of stripping- excellent!
There seems to be a revival of 'confession' style books coming out just now, so much so that you may worry that they're all the same. Perhaps so, but Girl in High Heels is different enough to stand out. For starters, it's not been published anonymously. Ellouise Moore has put her name to the book, but has changed the names of the vast majority of the people she mentions in the book, to protect their identities, and her kneecaps, by the sounds of it!

I'm sure many people have the opinion that strippers are somehow beneath people with 'normal' jobs - but this book will definitely change your mind. It proves that these girls aren't 'dirty' or prostitutes (according to Ellouise, some are, but by no means every one!), they're simply normal girls, albeit more attractive ones with nice figures, trying to make money. And once they see how much money is up for grabs, they tend to get hooked. And it's completely understandable - the amounts of money involved are phenomenal.

Ellouise Moore was dealt a crappy hand in life, a difficult upbringing which meant she had to start fending for herself from a very early age. She could have become a down-and-out, taking drugs, selling her body, etc. But she got into the world of stripping and gradually turned her life around. She's now a successful businesswoman, owning several properties and using her situation to help other young women.

I found this a really endearing book, which probably sounds like a weird thing to say. However, although stripping is often seen as seedy, Moore proves that it's not all bad. Yes, there is prostitution and drug-taking going on behind the scenes, but not everyone is involved. I just found this a pretty heart-warming tale about a girl who dragged herself up from nothing, took advantage of a lucrative industry and can now walk with her head held high, displaying incredible strength. I say fair play to her. A really easy read, and also an eye-opener!

COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN - BRILLIANT !!
What an eye-opener of a book !.Extremely cleverly written, with an insight into an amazing world.Has a bit of everything you could want from a really good read - couldn't put it down.

Couldn't put this book down!
This morning I recieved my copy of 'Girl in High Heels' and 12 hours later I have finished and am honestly disappointed that the book has come to an end! I love this,Ellouise does not miss a detail of her exploits as a dancer and being in the Industry myself she has inspired me to make a better life for myself.
