Taking a chance in the 1930’s was hard, but with Mae West in Ruby’s corner, anything was possible. Even meeting the love of her life. Working in a clip joint gave Ruby more than grocery money, it gave her the excitement of truly growing up, and experiencing romance with her handsome Walter.
As a teenage girl, Ruby believed life was much more for a woman than washing clothes and raising children. She could achieve beauty, independence, romance, and even sexuality in a time when others lived bland, in opportunistic existences.
Ruby also learned hard lessons when passion created such a strong bond with her Walter, that she was not sure how she would ever live without him. Would she stop enjoying the music and dancing if he were no longer there as her partner? Or would her mind continue to transport her to the place where her passion truly began?
