Mini Biography

Diablo Cody is originally from Chicago, Illinois and moved to Minnesota to live with her Internet boyfriend, Jonny (now her husband). While there she decided, on a whim, to take up stripping as a “hobby” of sorts. Meanwhile she was working in an ad agency and was not particularly fond of her job. Within a year she got a promotion at the ad agency which wore her ragged, and was something she did not particularly care for (it demanded organization, which is something she was not very good at). Eventually she quit her day job (with Jonny’s blessings) and began stripping full time. During the course of about a year she went from “Amateur Night” (which was her first stripping experience) to a place she refers to in her book as Sheiks, then to Deja Vu, and so on. She then took up work as a phone sex operator before returning to stripping. Shortly thereafter she decided to quit stripping and she and Jonny married. They moved to what she refers to as “the ‘burbs, and no one strips unless they’re taking a bubble bath”. Her step-daughter was the flower girl in the wedding and according to Diablo they are very happy.

Personal Quotes

Stripping toughened my hide, but exposing myself as a writer has been a lot more brutal.

I have never been an ambitious person, and my participation in this industry is a fluke, but only male writers can afford to be coy and self-deprecating.
