"I'm with the band." Behind every famous rock star is a famous groupie who not only dominated the bedroom, but the music scene.
Hanging out with musicians is any girl's dream come true. Well, these girls did just that. Mind you, these two girls, Sable, the unofficial queen of the 70's LA glam rock scene, and Lori, her best friend, were only around 13 at the time. These baby groupies strutted around Sunset Boulevard on their shiny platform heels, eyes and ears peeled for the likes of Led Zeppelin or David Bowie to show up. I personally don't like these baby groupies very much, their personalities leaving a lot to be desired, but then again, what 13 year who thinks they're the hottest thing around isn't catty? Still, they deserve a mention, these were wild times and these were wild girls. *EDIT* Due to the comments I keep getting on this particular page, I felt the need to write this. The reason for this post was to not only post a collection of photos of music and fashion from the 70's, but to also talk about a certain period of time, a moment in history, and the people involved. Nowhere on here does it say I approve of the behavior of the musicians and the groupies. Not once did I say that what they did was ok. It's like if I made a post about the Holocaust - another period in time that I'm interested in and I've read so much about- and saying that I condoned what happened during the Holocaust. I love history (and history has good and bad parts) and the only reason I made this blog was because I like to write about things that interest me, I like to collect pictures, and I like when a person discovers my blog and learns something new or rediscovers something they had forgotten. Lori modeling with fellow baby groupie Shray Mecham for Star Magazine. Queenie Glam, Shray, and Sable. With Iggy Pop. With Debbie Harry. With Keith Moon and Annette Walter-Lax. With Led Zeppelin and groupie Morgana Welch at the English Disco and not the Rainbow Bar & Grill even though to me the booths in the back looked exactly like that. I've actually been there a couple of times, not as amazing as I thought it would be, but still crawling with would-be groupies and musicians. I even saw a certain special someone there, coming out of the bathroom before their first gig at The Key Club. Anyroad, the caption to this picture is pretty hilarious. With John Bonham. I'm sure you all know what went down with Jimmy and Lori, so I won't bother to repeat it here. Just like Jimmy and Lori were a complicated pair, so were Johnny Thunders and Sable. With Iggy and Johnny. With Sylvain Sylvain. With Stiv Bators. With BP Fallon. With Dave Hill. Sable with Mackenzie Phillips and the unofficial mayor of the Sunset Strip, Rodney Bingenheimer, posing outside of the English Disco. Sable with other baby groupies posing with Rodney outside the Continental Hyatt House (The Riot House).
I wish I could take credit for these incredible finds but it was a Miss Louah who did all the hard work getting these together. Many of these were new to me or better quality so I figured they would also be to most of you. Since Miss Louah doesn't have a livejournal I put this post together and…

If someone told you their earliest romantic encounters were with David Bowie, Iggy Pop and Mick Jagger, you’d either slap them or roll your eyes. Unless that someone was Bebe Buell, of course. In the 1970s, the American model just so happened to be in the right place, at the right time, well, countless times, solidifying…
