How a nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn rocked the Los Angeles gang scene.
Leon Bing is a lady. She is also the former girlfriend of a leading Hollywood coke dealer, a former model, and the author of “Do or Die”. The formative study on South L.A. gang culture; which Publisher’s Weekly sums up as the profiling of “archrival Los Angeles teenage gangs the Crips and the Bloods in a harrowing docuchronicle…that should be read by all concerned with the future of urban America.” This is a woman I’d like to meet. She is, by all accounts a striking woman, and has just published her memoir titled “Swans and Pistols”; subtitled “Modeling, Motherhood, and Making It in the Me Generation”. If not a throwback to Los Angeles culture in the ’70’s and ’80’s, then certainly a journey through a life lived in the midst of Hollywood, all it had to offer, and what she took from it.
