Book Review: My Real Dad Was a Stripper by Angela Scott


Quick interesting autobiography of Angela Scott, aka p*rn star Lexi Stone. Mostly takes places from her teen years to early 20s leading to her decision to get into the adult industry. There is a lot here that she unpacks. Bad relationships, good relationships, love, pain, death, birth, and how she kept a hustler's mentality, trying to make money to survive on her terms.

If I have one critique, it is that it ended abruptly. I would have like to have seen a second-to-last chapter on what her family, etc thought of her success in the industry, career highlights and insights, etc. Also curious if she dealt with the traumas she talks about often. Did she do therapy or is this book her therapy? Maybe there is a sequel coming. Overall, it is an interesting peek into the life of someone in the adult industry.

(Note: I did an interview with Angela way back in 2007 when she was modeling for Playboy before getting into p*rn. I googled her to see what she was doing these days and found her current career and her book. It was very interesting to see where my interview fell in her life.)
