'you know you got it if it makes you feel good'

so on saturday i got to meet one of my idols, pamela des barres. i have a hard time describing my attraction to her to other people sometimes. she is the world's most famous groupie. she has been with lots of rocks stars. she was in the middle of the scene in the 60s and 70s, the scene i have always wished i was around for.

i know it sounds weird to call her my idol. it would be easy to write off miss pamela as a slut. if only she didn't believe so much in love.

here she is reading:

and here she is listening as her buddy sandra bernhardt reads from her first book:

i never thought i would meet her, and i stood in line shaking as i waited my turn. then i became distracted by my non-functioning camera, and by the time i made it to miss P, i had calmed down. there was so much to say in my allotted minute and i barely said anything at all. she autographed my worn, torn, and tired copy of take a little piece of my heart and i repeated a few times how much it meant to me to meet her. then i walked away. it was a huge deal for me, but it was also over in a moment.
