"I lovedthis debutante-to-stripper memoir. I couldn't put it down. Everyone's heard ofthe legendary Princess Cheyenne, but it turns out the story of Lucy Wightman isway more compelling." -- Jim Braude, WGBH Boston "No onewho saw Princess Cheyenne physically bare all at the Naked i in Boston's CombatZone during the '70s and '80s will be surprised that she brings the same wit,grace, and fearlessness to telling her singular story. Her anecdotes aboutsome of the people who threw themselves at her feet--among them the singer CatStevens and comedian Andy Kaufman--will keep readers fascinated and titillateduntil the final curtain." --The Hull Times
Synopsis
How did a debutante from Lake Forest, Illinois, end up in Boston's notorious "Combat Zone" and become its most famous stripper? What led her to convert to Islam and get engaged to Cat Stevens? And how did she end up traveling and performing with Andy Kaufman and hosting a radio show for the sexually bewildered opposite Dr. Ruth? In 1977, an eighteen-year-old Lucy Johnson stripped out of her bellbottoms and Birkenstocks and was crowned the feature attraction at the Naked i Cabaret. Local and national media took note of her toney background and, for the next eleven years, she strutted her way into Beantown history as the "Socialite Stripper." In Princess Cheyenne, Lucy Wightman recounts her wild, Zeligesque life both in and out of the Naked i. Smart and uproarious, this is the untold story of a legendary performer whose stage name is synonymous with "The Zone," Boston's most mythical district, and a fount of nostalgia and wonder to this day., "LucyWightman's journey from the blue-blooded culture of Lake Forest, Illinois, toBoston's Combat Zone is an unflinching dive into a bygone era. It's a complexcharacter study and rare introspective look into the psyche of anintellectually gifted adult entertainer. At times Princess Cheyenne reads like a Pynchon novel, while at others it's an inspiring paean to thepursuit of adult freedom, sexuality, and self-discovery."--Dave Wedge, NewYork Times bestselling author of Riding with Evil , BostonStrong , and Blood & Hate: The Untold Story of Marvelous MarvinHagler's Battle for Glory How did a debutante from LakeForest, Illinois, end up in Boston's notorious "Combat Zone" and become itsmost famous stripper?

    The seller was very responsive and answered me on a timely matter. The product itself came in its packaging and was new, not used at all. The packaging was not beat up or anything, safely delivered to my mailbox. No mix ups and zero stress with delivery. The price for the product is completely understandable for the product. I really appreciate the seller and I am very happy to have purchased through this seller. Completely trustable!

    Seller handles a massive inventory so I give them grace on the slow processing and shipping. They were very communicative and prompt with their response when I messaged in asking about it. Book was in good condition as described. Small ding on the page edges which wasn't mentioned, but that's fairly common even at your typical book store. Still a good value and I'd buy from them again.
