Lipstick &
Dynamite Lipstick
& Dynamite shines a spotlight on the forgotten first ladies of
the ring. Gladys 'Killem' Gillem wrestled women, men,
alligators, and bears. At 18, Ida May Martinez took to the road
to flash the only thing she knew - how to kick, punch, and
defend herself. Narrowly escaping a date rape at 16, Penny
Banner trained for survival. Still kicking butt at 80, The
Fabulous Moolah and Johnnie Mae Young live together with midget
wrestler sidekick Diamond 'Lil, and continue to take bumps with
World Wrestling Entertainment.
Each woman reflects on her own
remarkable life with fond and bitter memories, reconciling a
wild, flamboyant youth with the reality of getting older and
fading away. Lipstick & Dynamite follows Moolah, Johnnie Mae and
the girls 60 years, many bumps and falls later as they discuss
the money, the old days and what it's like to be a 'lady' in
today's favorite guilty pleasure: spectator sport.
