Biography of Elle Stanger, the Erotic Muse

I'm a twenty something former-honor-student-turned stripper. After moving from San Diego to Portland in 2008, I attended Portland State University and graduated, ready for the 'real world', yet found a better life in adult entertainment. In 2009 I auditioned and soon became a cover girl for The Lucky Devil Lounge in Portland, Oregon.

In 2011, I was crowned Miss Ink n Pink, after competing in the annual tattooed pole dancing contest, and also "Pin Up Girl of the Year" I was named Mercury magazine's "Portland's Sexiest Female Sex Worker". I've been featured in Hustler and quoted in Redbook. Complex Magazine named me one of "25 Hottest Strippers on Instagram".

I'm a feminism and sex work activist and in the daylight you'll find me supporting Planned Parenthood rallies and munching organic food. I've modeled on Suicidegirls.com as Casper since 2005. I am a columnist for Exotic Magazine and a contributor to Burro Magazine and TitsAndSass.com. I'm currently researching whales in Japan.

I am the mother of a poodle named Lux Interior, and I think if you wear a suit to a strip club, you deserve to be hustled.
