NZ born Leigh Hopkinson was the least likely person to become a stripper. But then she figured it couldn’t be that difficult - she was just going to dance on stage in front of a bunch of strangers. She’d show them a bit of skin, and she wouldn’t do it for that long. Or so she imagined.
Over the course of Leigh’s career, she learnt a lot about other people and even more about herself, and the result is a story that delves into a world that not everyone visits but everyone finds fascinating. For fans of Hooked by Samantha X and In My Skin by Kate Holden.
