In this section, St. Jaymes reminisces about Finocchio's and other venues, her time in Houston, well-known strippers and performers who crossed paths with her, the Central City Anti-Poverty Program, and her experiences transitioning.

This includes extensive attention to the culture and working conditions at Finocchio's. Portions of this interview were used for Stryker and Victor Silverman's documentary Screaming Queens. |
