Cool, okay, so let's see--we've got the non-sex-worker Brown graduates doing their dissertations on real sex workers--at least we've got them actually interviewing them this time instead of lensing what they've said--we've got the hilarious and sympathetic phone girls, strippers, the dommes, we are lucky and [a:Stephen Elliot|6101|Keith Elliot Greenberg|http://www.goodreads.com/images/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] gets TWO essays, an essay from a real pimp, Vaginal Creme Davis lyrics.

However, not all of the material is mediocre. There are several strong essays and stories included within the work, including Annie Oakley's own introduction and Siobhan Brooks' "An Interview with Gloria Lockett ", that make a reading of the volume worthwhile.
