Strolling into work at 5pm, being able to afford expensive designer clothes and also help out her single mother financially was all part of the appeal of stripping for Samantha C Ross. “I also loved that the girls turned into fierce, show-stopping vixens on stage and earned thousands of dollars per shift,” she adds.

The then Melbourne-based Ross was introduced to the world of strip clubs when she got a job in marketing for a sports bar. “There was a gentlemen’s club attached to the bar and I became fascinated by stripping and decided to give it a go,” Ross tells WHO. Her first shift was mortifying. “For starters, exposing your every lump and bump under a spotlight is super-confronting and you soon learn that guys are quite happy to point out your faults. Strippers learn to develop a club persona, so you can become resilient about the insults.”

That persona was the inspiration for Ross’ first novel Sunshine: The diary of a lap dancer. In it, she reveals the realities of working as a stripper. And the biggest takeaway from both her own experiences in clubs, and that of her characters in the book, is that the A-list stars she regularly came across while dancing were almost always unpleasant.
