My G-String Mother: At Home and Backstage with Gypsy Rose Lee
- Used Book in Good Condition
Erik was 12 when Gypsy decided she was through with stripteaseâ‚¬"'Iâ‚¬m forty-two years old. Too old to be taking my clothes off in front of strangers.' Her endless schemes for staying famous and maintaining their extravagant lifestyleâ‚¬"a best-selling writing career, a musical based on her life, a disastrous attempt to turn her home movies into a blockbusterâ‚¬"make for comedic yet poignant reading. My G-String Mother is a stylish, incisive portrait of two lives: an awkward adolescent who was as much confidante, co-conspirator, and companion as son, and the legendary woman who told police at a raid at the famous Minskyâ‚¬s burlesque house, 'I wasnâ‚¬t naked. I was completely covered by a blue spotlight.'
