We check in on Heaven’s plastic surgery journey (and trust us, it’s a journey) before despairing at Hollywood’s stripper obsession. We mourn Flashdance’s shamefest fail: ballerina/welder/sensual dancer dating her stalker and dragging her stripper friend out of the club mid-shift. That’s no way to save-a-ho. We struggle with Demi Moore’s ill-advised Striptease although it’s saved, as all things are, by Burt Reynolds. We love the trashy Showgirls for the most unhinged lap dance in history, and then we really settle in - which films get it right, which get it disastrously wrong, and why every Hollywood stripper seems to be running from something. Still, at least they’ve stopped killing strippers as a plot device.
