The Plastics is an international organization, sisterhood, school and club for groupies. (Think a rock and roll version of the Red Hot Society or the Girls Scouts.) We are an alliance of rocker chicks who, not only love to attend concerts and hang out with bands, but love to promote them as well. Our elite chapters spread all over the world and consist of one captain, which must be approved by Plastics President Lexa Vonn, and various numbers of members.
Our activities focus around everything that has to do with music and alternative fashion. The Plastics' main sport is reviewing live bands (both local and national acts), conducting interviews, concert photography, and hosting events. It also includes forming friendships and personal relationships with rock stars and others in the industry. Lexa, a former publicist and current rock journalist, has written a handbook containing advise on getting backstage, approaching celebrities, and tips for breaking into journalism, promotions, and creatively supporting musicians of all genres and success levels.
Our lesser activities include rock n’ roll pin-up modeling, band image consultation (Lexa Vonn is also a licensed make-up artist), and clothing design. The Plastics have been featured on WE’s “Secret Lives of Women” and “The Tyra Banks Show”. They were also featured in Pamela Des Barre’s book, “Lets Spend the Night Together: Backstage Secrets of Rock Muses and Supergroupies.”
The Plastics were originally created in 2005 to bring back the spirit of groupie chic past. We were inspired by the social risks and free-spirited ways of girls living in the rock n' roll world in the 1960's. In a time where the music industry has become controlled and void of any real rebellion, we decided to create a social clique here in Hollywood, CA based on and dedicated to groups of girls that create their own social rules and norms rather than succumbing to those set for them by others. Reminiscent of power cliques portrayed in your favorite teen movies, we are a living satire of ourselves. We are worshippers of art and music and live as our own character creations. It was a good two years we spent trying to change the ever-growing conservatism and dullness of pop culture. We gallivanted the clubs dressed in lingerie, we go-go danced onstage to our friend's bands, we had our own column in Rock City News… We loved, we fought, we fucked...we conquered! And we're still going, baby!!
So, what do The Plastics believe? We believe in coloring the world with lipstick and glitter, we believe in life, we believe in giving credit where credit is due and honoring the artists and rock stars that inspire us to admire them and co-create reality with them. We believe in ourselves. We believe in celebrating the beautiful and astounding creations and statements of our mentors and friends. We believe in using inspiration to create new art. We believe that we are all canvases of expression. "I’m not an artist, I’m a fucking work of art!" We are muses. We are mistresses. We are mothers of invention. You don’t have to be musically inclined or be a master painter to be an artist, you just have to be creative, live and love your own and the creations of others.
Groupies have gotten a bad name in recent years mostly due to the fact that most people don't understand what a groupie really is. We are not the girls trading blow jobs for backstage passes or posting about our sexual experiences with rock stars on websites and "penis charts". We are also not the up and coming models, actresses, or porn stars looking to land a celebrity in hopes of furthering our own careers. These types of girls are called "starfuckers." Real groupies do what they do for the love of music. We are the girls that inspired such films as "Almost Famous". We are the girls for who's passion for music runs so deep that we desire to be a part of it on as many levels as possible. Do some of us have sexual relationships with the rock stars we love? We sure do! But we do so with mutual respect. Groupies are the girls that will promote you when you are new and struggling, that will drive 6 hours in extreme weather conditions to see your show, and that will be there to lend a breast to cry on when your current model/actress/porn star dumps you. Our love is unconditional and we are there to help out any way we can. Art, love, friendship, and sex are spiritual experiences to us. We are there because our lives were changed. We are there for the love of music and the religion of rock n' roll!!!! The term “groupie” was originally coined by a British journalist in the 1960’s and meant nothing more than, “the girls with the band.” And that’s what we are… sisters, friends, promoters, supporters. We are there to build your legend!
