"Memoirs of a Showgirl"
Shay Stafford danced her way to the Moulin Rouge and Lido in Paris.
Via the Tivoli, Jupiters and various Japanese holiday resorts, Shay has had the kind of career that many young dancers can only dream about.
Her journey from suburban Brisbane Australia to one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where she enjoyed an illustrious career as a dancer, was documented in her autobiography Memoirs of a Showgirl.
The book give readers a sneak peek into the life of a showgirl in the famous dance club.
Stafford retired from the feathers and high kicks two years ago after more than a decade dancing in Paris.
She married, had two children and now spreads her time between dancing, working and book commitments.
But she acknowledges the bite from the showbiz bug often needs to be scratched.
"The grind of 12 shows a week with heavy costumes took its toll,'' she says.

Topless (Not Tasteless)
There’s a widely held belief among visitors to Las Vegas that adult-themed productions are necessarily trashy. Well, we think that’s flat-out wrong. Some of the Strip’s sexiest shows are actually pretty tasteful.
Take Donn Arden’s showgirl spectacular “Jubilee!” for instance. The Strip’s longest-running production, “Jubilee!” celebrated its 30th anniversary at Bally’s Las Vegas last year. Although the show features topless showgirls (a staple of Las Vegas entertainment back in the day), it’s the lavish costumes the showgirls are wearing that truly catch the eye. Coupled with extravagant production numbers — including a $3-million opening routine — it’s little wonder “Jubilee!” is considered a class act.
MGM Grand’s “Crazy Horse Paris” also puts topless shows in a new light — but they do it literally. Direct from the Crazy Horse Cabaret in Paris, the seductive production showcases the female form as art, projecting stunning light displays onto the dancers’ bodies. Each of the show’s sexy performers is also classically trained in ballet, so ticketholders are just as likely to find themselves mesmerized by the dancers’ graceful movements as their near-bare bodies.
Of course, if anyone can showcase the human body as an art form it’s Cirque du Soleil. Its tantalizing production “Zumanity” at New York-New York may be a bit naughty, but the outrageous cast knows how to put an audience at ease — even as the show explores the myriad mysteries of love and lust. From a sexy hula-hooping schoolgirl aerialist to a torrid tango between two men, “Zumanity” has something for everyone. By its provocative final act (appropriately titled “Orgy”), the show has made one thing gloriously clear: Sex is beautiful.
