I am a former adult entertainer, with a love of books, writing and humor. My job has given me a unique perspective on life. I spent twenty years as a stripper on and off and started writing as a way to shed light on a misunderstood industry and profession. Frustrated with the stereotypes often presented on talk shows, movies, and articles, my goal is to help paint a broader and more accurate picture of the profession. But also, to destigmatize and humanize those who choose to work in the adult entertainment industry.

Books are doors to knowledge

I unexpectedly learned a lot about life and people from stripping, but most of my practical knowledge comes from my love of books and reading. While stripping has the potential to teach you much about the world and the people in it, it is obviously not for everyone.
I consider books to be doors in an endless hallway of information, knowledge, and wonder. Each door leads to another path of informa Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Erin Louis (?)

“Afraid I might catch fire,” she said, regretting the joke in an instant. She was some kind of asshole, making jokes at the gates of Heaven. It was like she wanted to go to Hell. “Yes, of course I have. I have seen the error of my ways. My bad. I love me some Jesus, God, and the holy Casper.”
― Erin Louis, South of Heaven

“Please allow me to introduce myself," the horrible monster said. "I'm a man of wealth and taste." He smiled the most hideous smile and laughed a laugh that loosened her bowels.”
