Mama Black Widow - I'm On Pins & Needles Till They Finish This Movie!!

For those who're not fimiliar with what I'm talking about. This is one of Iceberg Slim's infamous books(infamous because he caused such a stir when he made those Pimp-series books in the late 60s,,,,since they were totally censorship-free which didn't sit very well with ALOT of people I guess).

But this book in particular was different, and the casting for the movie is SO intersting.....

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0301595/

I just finished reading it and it was so depressing sigh What happend to Rihanna's supposed character is so sad sad

Not sure about this guy(he's playing the lead character: the drag queen Otis/Sally)...



Needles to say, this is going to be a VERY intersting film if they don't fuck up the story.

You can check the book's previews in here if you want:

Interesting that White is playing the drag queen. I always thought he had nice eyes and sometimes looks like downright pretty.
Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off
