Pamela Des Barres

One high school art class assignment was to visualize an object that showed both texture and color. Having fantasized about Mick Jagger's genitalia, she made them the subject of her painting, which earned her an "A" grade. After securing a position as the babysitter for Zappa's children, she at last found herself a few years later finally finding multiple opportunities to compare the drawing with the actual object. She famously paired up as a friend to a lot of old school rockers, as well as with future sexual targets Jim Morrison, Mick Jagger, Jimmy Page, Keith Moon, Nick St. Nicholas, Noel Redding, Chris Hillman, Gram Parsons, Waylon Jennings, and actors Brandon deWilde, Michael Richards, and Don Johnson.

She was also a member of The GTOs, which was what is believed by many to be the world's first all-girl groupiegroup formed by Frank Zappa. The group started out as the Laurel Canyon Ballet Company, and began performing as an opening act for Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention. The GTOs set was an eclectic mix of music, spoken word, and performance art, all backed by Zappa's band (since none of its members were formally trained to sing or play an instrument). In 1969, they released their only album entitled Permanent Damage on Zappa's record label. Various music and lyrics were co-written by Zappa and some of the girls. Some of the personnel featured on the project included vocalist Rod Stewart, guitarist Jeff Beck, and drummer Aynsley Dunbar. Read Less
