*Bonus Ad Free Episode* Lost Notes: Groupies presents "Girls Together Outrageously"

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.

Fantastic podcast with such a range of topics! Sometimes I look at a title and think not really something I’m interested in to then be amazed by the subject!

Interesting subject matter but oh so preachy at times. Had to take a break
Perfect podcast for fashion history obsessives

Discovered this podcast recently and I love it. Both presenters really know their stuff across a wide range of fashion history topics, and the calibre of the guests is fantastic, people like Barbara Hulanicki and Pat Cleveland - wow! Thank you for a fantastic listen.
