Please enjoy this episode of the new podcast series Lost Notes: Groupies which introduces you the bad ass ladies--and style icons-- of the legendary groupie scene of the 1960s and 70s. That includes the young women who made up the first all girl band of all girl groups, the GTO, also known as Girls Together Outrageously. Learn more about the podcast here
Episode description: Venice Beach teen Dee Dee Keel was desperate to find out what was happening behind the scenes, in the clubs and hotel rooms of Hollywood: so she tracked an intriguing local rocker, Jim Morrison, on his way to the Strip. That’s where she first saw Miss Pamela in all her groupie glamour.
By 1969, Pamela Des Barres was no longer a Valley teenybopper; she had transformed into a rock icon-in-the-making. Her freaky clique of Laurel Canyon sprites were ordained by Frank Zappa to become the world’s first all-girl band of all-girl groupies, the GTOs. Soon, they had the likes of the Flying Burrito Brothers, the Who, and Led Zeppelin taking notice, just as Rolling Stone dedicated an entire issue to the groupie phenomenon and made the GTOs its centerfold.
In part II of this episode, we continue our conversation with Lebanese-British journalist Zahra Hankir who joins us all this week to speak about her book Eyeliner: A Cultural History, which is a deep dive into one of the world’s oldest cosmetic practices. From its origins in Ancient Egypt to contemporary drag, we traverse the globe in a two-part episode to discuss the ways that eyeliner has connected us over more than 3,000 years of human history.
