That Groupie Central message board is a riot, especially how they beat of Bebe Buell... I've never heard of alot of the bands they're into now... Who the fuck is Coal Chamber?

Just found that all five issues of notorious 1973 magazine Star are available as a PDF download if you scroll to the "January 2019 update" here: https://www.star1973.com
Seems like a fascinating document/

Interview with Sable Starr near the end of the PDF is O_O

She’s pretty hard on Mick, LOL.I like some of the styles in these mags... The model on pg. 210 of the PDF (“Used Guy Lot”) looks very modern/2019 to me (except for maybe the scarves and other accessories).

great link. I looked at a few ads and an editorial and read the Sable interview, will probably never open the PDF again bcz it made my eyeballs crawl

"Interviews: Sally Struthers, Marc Bolan". Fantastic! Thanks.

Unless I’m missing some heavy subtext, this “notorious” publication seemed like a pretty tame/generic, low-budget teen mag... even the interview with an actual “groupie” was PG-rated.
― get your hand outta my pocket universe (morrisp), Saturday, 11 May 2019 13:45 (four years ago) link
It's not graphic but I mean, it's a 'PG rated' interview with two teenage girls who are giving advice on how you need to be "sleazy looking" and "make kissie" with everyone around the band, no matter how old, if you want to enjoy the "pastime" of sleeping with a slew of older rock stars.

I'm sure you can find worse stuff online all day long today but I think it was p outrageous in its time.

They never seem to actually mention sex (in a literal sense); of course it’s obvious to anyone over a certain age what’s going on.

Yeah, it was all a bit coded but I expect people got what she meant when she said she liked to call her girlfriends and brag about who she was with the previous night; certainly enough did that the magazine was cancelled due to complaints.

Pretty reprehensible that this kind of thing went on and people thought it was OK
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 11 May 2019 15:43 (four years ago) link
I guess it was a weird interim period between the “old” sexual morality and the new one? So things were still being negotiated?
― Trϵϵship, Saturday, 11 May 2019 15:44 (four years ago) link
Or something? It was still illegal.

oh good, more pearl clutching from a removed perspective, that'll help

Yeah i am aware of that perspective

I mostly scrolled to the album reviews - ziggy stardust, transformer, dark side of the moon
― StanM, Saturday, 11 May 2019 19:08 (four years ago) link
The movie reviews are pretty good

It was still illegal.
Probably a reason why Starr and Star were keeping things (thinly) coded btw.
