Red Velvet: Memoirs of a Working Girl

‘This is a story about how I became a whore, how I sold myself and what I did to earn a living. I always felt compassion, even tenderness for my clients. Well, most of them anyway’. Red Velvet is the diary of former call girl Lisa Lou. Her memories are funny, raunchy, poignant and compassionate. It traces Lisa’s early experiences, from a childhood of abuse, to life as a high-class prostitute in Melbourne, Perth, Copenhagen and London. Along the way she works with gangsters, socialites and millionaires. All the fantasy and erotica of the boudoir is here – alongside the struggle for friendship, security and identity.
