I have a bit of a thing for memoirs from the sex industry, prostitutes, porn stars and the like... I guess it's just so far removed from my own life and experiences that I seen to have a strange curiosity about it all.

I just finished reading Red Velvet by Lisa Lou, a Melbourne prozzie with a very bad editor! The book itself was OK at best, I got a little bored with it about 1/2 way through but something has to be really bad for me to not finish a book so I pressed on.

The main thing that kept me going was waiting for the next typographical error. Words repeated with different spellings, letters left off the ends of some words, and the worst, computer geek speak (I don't know the right term I'm looking for but see below... maybe someone can help me out here!) Instructions in the print!

Not really recommended... it's no In my Skin that's for sure!!
