ISBN:  9780771098413 (hc) Edition:  [Expanded 2nd ed.] Description:  320 p. : ill. Notes:  "Portions of this book were previously published in the first edition of Modern Whore, 2018 by Virgin Twins (Andrea Werhun & Nicole Bazuin), in association with IMPULSE[b] and designed by Laura Rojas"--T.p. verso. Contents:  Modern whore -- Post-modern whore. Summary:  "Andrea Werhun's sex work career gave her money, freedom, joy, and a lot of dick. A natural performer, she revelled in the opportunity to invent Mary Ann, her escort counterpart, and introduce her to men all over the city. She whores, she learns, she writes it all down, and then, as per a signed document she handed to her Catholic mother in her early twenties, she quits. To become a stripper. Andrea and Nicole revisit the idea of the modern whore, with the enhanced perspective of Andrea's experience at the strip club. This new, engorged edition of the sold-out memoir-cum-art book expands on the original concept -- a series of vignettes exploring the many identities sex workers adopt in the service of their clients and in the eyes of the public -- in both a literal and literary way. But Andrea doesn't shy away from the serious side of sex work, either, exploring the risks sex workers take, and the rights our culture is constantly taking away from them. This series of stories and portraits investigate the many ways we imagine -- and mistake -- the modern whore. It's Playboy if the Playmates were in charge."--Publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
