My thoughts on Live Nude Girls Unite
I really enjoyed Live Nude Girls Unite. I think Julie Query made a very honest and revealing documentary about an area of the sex industry, but also I think it is a great look at the struggle of workers trying to unionize. Although I would assume that these workers had a much harder time unionizing then other industry workers have. Seeing who the ladies really were i(n the "real world") was very interesting and enlightening. Also, hearing their views on the issues involved with the job was quite interesting. It was very uplifting to see women triumph and feel empowered while working in a job that many feel is degrading and objectifies women. I still am not sure how I personally feel about the sex industry, I really do see both sides of the argument. The documentary reminded me of a book I read this summer, "Candy Girl: a Year in the Life of an Unlikely Stripper" by Diablo Cody. It is a writers yearlong experience working in many different strip clubs and peep shows in the Minneapolis area. it is a very witty and revealing story so check it out if you get a chance.
