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.
