Erik was 12 when Gypsy decided she was through with
striptease--'I'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 lifestyle--a best-selling
writing career, a musical based on her life, a disastrous attempt
to turn her home movies into a blockbuster--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 Minsky's burlesque
house, 'I wasn't naked. I was completely covered by a blue
spotlight.'
