Product Description
Synopsis
Baby Oil and Ice lifts the veil on the shadowy world of pub striptease in London's East End. Inside its 176 pages are 116 full-colour photographs by Julie Cook and Sarah Ainslie, plus writing by the strippers, staff and customers themselves, collated by Lara Clifton. Baby Oil and Ice offers a unique glimpse inside the minds of those who participate in this erotic and mysterious trade.
From the Publisher
Baby Oil and Ice is a lavish, large-format hardback documenting a fast-disappearing part of 'old London'. Shoreditch, that small but vibrant area just east of Liverpool Street station in east London, is the centre of London's shady and once-thriving strip-pub culture. But due to the gentrification of the area and the threat of the East London Line development at Bishopsgate, many of the pubs have either closed or are closing down and some will be demolished to make way for the trains. Photographers Julie Cook and Sarah Ainslie were given unprecedented access to the venues and to the women themselves – using hidden cameras (photography is strictly prohibited in strip pubs) – and their photographs are a mixture of candid shots of the strippers relaxing, preparing for work and performing, and images of the architecture (many of the venues are once grand Victorian gin palaces) and the punters' reaction to what they're being shown. Lara Clifton, a dancer for many years, has persuaded many of the women, staff and customers to put their motivations, thoughts and ideas into writing and these are scattered throughout the book. A fine, beautiful book that is part social history, part erotica. We are very proud to be its publisher.
