Showgirls
|
This program takes you into the world of 'glamour models'. Nicky-Lee, Lara-Lou and Vanessa are three young women whose world consists of a non-stop circuit of podium dancing, wet-teeshirt modelling and posing, semi-naked for the punters.
The friends are working the summer show scene; but life is about to change as Vanessa attends the maternity unit at her local hospital to check on progress; Vanessa is - show-stoppingly - pregnant. But for the moment, she has not given up working: squeezed into skin-tight corset and lycra hotpants you would never guess that she is just weeks away from giving birth.
Meanwhile Lara-Lou and Nicky-Lee remain in the thick of it - as well as being on stage they're doing the 'bikini car-wash' - As Lara explains, "It's more about washing yourself than the car." Backstage they talk candidly about their families, relationships and the dark side of the industry.
On men they all agree - "they just want boobage."
