Groupie Lit: Sluts Are Great Writers, Jump-Offs Not So Much By Tamara Palmer Wed., Dec. 5 2012
"Ellen Sander's Plaster Casters! ... A fly on the wall through the activities of Chicago's Plaster Casters, a duo of young girls who made plaster casts of illustrious rock star dicks including Jimi Hendrix, the story is considered the first national exposure to the groupie phenomenon. Sander writes in a fanciful, compelling style, as does Cynthia Plaster Caster, who often wooed her subjects through witty letters and signs held aloft at concerts. There's a sweetness and an artistic mission wrapped up in this groundbreaking tale, which was repackaged as an e-book for Kindle on Amazon in late October. It's $2.99, and well worth the price of admission."
True story with all the juicy details of the early days of these super groupies whose unique style included making plaster casts of rock and roll genitalia. Their spicy invitations to rock stars, their adventures, the whole racy and hilarious story of their doings with Beatles, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, The Monkees, Buffalo Springfield, Frank Zappa, Noel Redding, Steve Miller, Detroit Wheels and more. Includes an update and some NSFW reproductions of Cynthia Plaster Caster's phallic holiday cards. By pioneering rock journalist, critic and raconteur, Ellen Sander.
