Review of Confessions of Teen StripperA Short Piece that really talks about the "underbelly of the American Dream" that girls get, when they're after the true american dream. It left me wanting to hear more. If that was the intent, it was well done. |

Review of Confessions of Teen StripperThe subject talks about the darker side of stripping. She seems to suggest that there is no other side. |

Review of Confessions of Teen Stripper
Edgy. Scarry. I'm a year older than when she began to strip, so this really brought this piece home. The whole topic and view point is so rarely heard that I was completely caught up in the piece. While the audio editing was a little harsh, I think it worked over all. Her voice seemed a little monotoned but once again it worked for the piece because you simply had to take in all the fact. The only thing that didn't flow right was the ending, it seemed to just stop, like she had more to say. Also I'm interested in how she got out of stripping.
