Think of a pimp and you think of a blood sucking leach. Unlike madams, who employ prostitutes and share the wealth, pimps live off the sweat of the whore, taking her money, controlling her life. Sugar Pimp is the story of G. Gerri Goldstein who began her career as a carefree schoolgirl learning her craft from Colleen, a needy Irish lass who would sell her soul for a kind word or a pat on the head.
Set during the Second World War, a time when the black pimp ruled, Gerri merged into the life attracting a stable of prostitutes. A rarity, this small white woman, who could command the total devotion of her whores, while freely plying a trade dominated by the black male. Sugar Pimp provides a glimpse into the lives of women who turn to other women for nurturing, acceptance and sexual gratification.
Since satisfying male customers is the way a prostitute earns her keep, she quickly learns the fastest way to make a buck is to turn off, tune out, and just get the job done. Alone, rejected by society, these emotionally starved women are easy prey for a pimp who may either beat or love them: A gorilla pimp using his fists to let the whore know she belongs to him or the sugar pimp who uses psychological control to take the whore's earnings, each preying on the worthlessness all prostitutes feel.
Meet the characters: Gerri the pimp; her whores, Jolene, Lulu Bell, Colleen, Yvonne, and Betsy; her gopher, Max the bartender; the maker of her sex toys, Corrie the Cock Cobbler; her jeweler, Hennie the Hock; and a myriad of other pimps like Red Dillard, Bumpy Washington, Slim, and Diamond.
Sugar Pimp will take you to a world apart, populated by ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances: sometimes funny, always painful.
