Below, hear Action Jackson's interview with Merline Kimble of the Gold Digger Baby Dolls on this week's episode of Takin' It To The Streets. Merline discusses seeing Uncle Lionel and the Million Dollar Baby Dolls as a little girl, back when they were known as the "Dirty Dozen gang" or "Batiste Gang," dressing as a Baby Doll in the 1970s, stepping out on Mardi Gras, the scandalousness of their outfits back in the day, and much more.
