• Give me a break!
  As a writer, I am offended that groupies are compared to artists. I may be an amatuer writer but at least I do not hang on anyone's coattails to validate my self worth.
  I was flipping through this book at Barnes n Noble the other day and I was reading some of the pages from the net. I think there are a few women who I would call artists in their own right and at least became something of themselves after their liaisons but most of the women in this book were just trashy, it was embarassing.

• A collection of profiles, most of them very interesting
  While Miss Pamela has basically covered her colourful life in three other books, this one looks at other groupies, starting off with the fascinating and tough as nails Tura Satana, the burlesque dancer who achieved counter-culture immortality as the murderous Varla in "Faster, Pussycat!

She meets, interviews and profiles 24 groupies, among them Gail Zappa (wife of Frank), Patty D'Arbanville (girlfriend of Eric Clapton and Cat... more info

• Could Not Put It Down !
  I'm a huge fan of Miss Pamela's books...I have them all. "Let's Spend The Night Together" I read in 4 days...it does not feel like a "book"...I felt I was there..Her writing style is easy to read and once one starts I promise you won't put it down until the very last page. Then I want to read it again! So juicy..so real! I especially love the way it's broken into chapters by "Groupie"..one definitely not to pass up!

Each mini-memoir presents a glimpse into the lives of groupies/muses during specific eras of rock history. Some of the stories are positive & upbeat (Michele Overman) while others might be rather disturbing (Connie Hamzy). There are many flavors of "groupiedom" and you will find them all in this book. Everyone from the groupie artists/performers - Cynthia Plaster Caster, Cherry Vanilla, Lexa Vonn, Cassandra... more info
