Long Legs and Tall Tales is a comic memoir about a naïve, goodie two-shoes, Midwestern psychology student (Kristi Lynn Davis) who tosses aside her conservative business suit and college education, leaves the safety of suburbia behind, and hesitantly sets off to become an international, sexy showgirl supreme. Follow her into her dressing rooms around the globe, as she learns to survive and then thrive (in stilettos, no less) in the wild and wonderful world of entertainment. With a virtual VIP All-Access Backstage Pass, readers get a sneak insider peek into two of America's most iconically sexy and spectacular institutions--Playboy and the Radio City Rockettes--like never before. But wait! There's more. The book also chronicles highlights of Kristi's wacky journey from obscurity to fame, including her humble tutu and tiara-loving beginnings at her local "Dolly Dinkle" dance schools, her awkward stretch into modern dance amid the danger and excitement of New York City, mortifying corporate party performances (including dancing as half of the Brooklyn Bridge and knocking over patrons with her big buttress), musical theatre and movie escapades in and around Hollywood, homespun fun in the Ozarks as Buddy Ebsen's hottie Beverly Hillbillies sidekick, jet-setting and bar-hopping with real live Playboy Bunnies, her horror at sashaying on stage in a G-string, going overboard for love on a cruise ship, and shaking her tail feathers for President Bill Clinton. From the sweaty, smoky nightclubs of Singapore to the sizzling Las Vegas strip to the snowcapped mountains of Alaska and beyond, these behind-the-scenes, high-kicking high jinks rival the euphoria of thunderous applause. Having spent over 12 years strutting her stuff as a professional entertainer, including logging in over 1,200 performances (and 240,000 kicks) as a Radio City Rockette and touring overseas with the steamy Playboy's Girls of Rock & Roll, Kristi has juicy secrets and shenanigans to spill. Through stories of her sparkling success despite mortifying missteps, Long Legs and Tall Tales aims to inspire readers to light their spark, pursue their passion, and shine brightly as the stars they truly are.… (plus d'informations)
