New York: powerHouse Books, 2003.“Determined to supplement her meager income as a novice photographer, Juliana Beasley embarked on an eight-year odyssey as a professional nude dancer… From New York to Reno, Beasley worked in over two dozen strip clubs, .. experiencing the rewards and pitfalls of the profession: variable income, flexible schedules, emotional and physical exhaustion, sex industry camaraderie–and an arrest for prostitution. Though she was a professional dancer, Beasley never forgot the purpose of her studies in documentary work.

The result is Lapdancer, an inside look at the world of professional nude dancing.” (publisher’s blurb)
