One of Humans of New York's most followed stories: the tale of Stephanie Johnson, better known as Tanqueray. A born performer who emerged from a troubled youth to become one of the best-known burlesque dancers in New York City.

The storytelling phenomenon Humans of New York has long captivated a global audience with personal narratives that illuminate the human condition. But one story stood apart from the rest. When it featured a photo of a woman in an outrageous fur coat and hat she made herself, she instantly captured the attention of millions.

Reeling from a brutal childhood, immersed in a world of go-go dancers and hustlers, dirty cops and gangsters, Stephanie Johnson was determined to become the fiercest thing New York City had ever seen. Real, raw, and unapologetically honest, this is her story, as told by Humans of New York creator and New York Times bestselling author Brandon Stanton.

A memoir filled with never-before-told stories of struggles and triumph and unseen personal photos, it will take you to 1970s New York City when the name 'Tanqueray' was on everyone's lips.
