About this title

Synopsis

"It's a riotous, raucous story, and Wightman is particularly adept at bringing the people around her to life . . . An often exhilarating ride."-Kirkus Reviews

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.
