Strip City Not to be confused with the ABC sitcom, this is a non‑fiction book about Ms. Burana's adventures as a stripper. It was published in 2001 by Talk Miramax Books. Subtitled "A Stripper's Farewell Journey Across America", the book recounts her experiences in 9 different states plus Tijuana, Mexico. Now you might note that there are 50 states in the U.S. and Ms. Burana clearly missed 41 of them. Two of the 41 states she never visited were Pennsylvania and Delaware. Although Ms. Burana grew up in Northern Jersey, her professional experiences in New Jersey are limited to a one‑day North Jersey Turkey‑Rama tour on the day before Thanksgiving.
