I was delighted to have a brief segment of my rock tour featured on Eye on LA last year on local KABC. Here’s a review of the show. Check out the details on ABC7′s Eye on LA blog.

Come hang out with me and a passel of music loving groovers while my friendly, knowledgeable chauffeur, the peppy Kip Brown, drives our big ol’ van all over Hollywood and Laurel Canyon. I’ll take you to the former Lizard King’s pad, the site of Frank Zappa’s log cabin, my old haunts and clubs and party places, dish you with LA lore, read from my books and answer all your burning hot questions about the slayday of rock & roll! We meet in front of Amoeba Records on Sunset and whizz through town having a blast!

Want to know what they’re like? Here’s a rave from a happy tour-taker:

I had an amazing day yesterday! Got up way to early and drove the 6 hours to LA from Phoeinix to do my second Pamela’s Rock n Roll Tour. I meet Rosie, Amber and Gemma at Ameoba where Pamela picked us up and we were off for an amazing day of interesting tales of Pamela’s fascinating past. She tells of her experiences with the likes of Jimmy Page, Mick Jagger, Jim Morrison, Keith Moon, Chirs Hillman and Graham Parsons to name a few. She takes you to the places where she met and hung out with some of music’s best.

Even though I had done the tour before, it was still all new. Some of the highlights were being able to go into Jim Morrison’s house in Laurel Canyon and meeting Miss Mercy, who is a fascinating person also. I could spend hours listening to the stories of these two amazing women!! Unfortunally I had a six hour drive ahead of me and I had to say good bye until the next time. It was well worth getting up early and drving the 6 hours there and 6 back.!!!! — Teresa Horton

This is for all you California dolls and fans of fine wine!  Markham Vineyards in Napa Valley is currently hosting ‘The Groupies’, a photo exhibition from former Rolling Stones first Chief Photographer Baron Wolman featuring the one and only Pamela DesBarres.

“He saw these women and the degree that they went to, to get dressed up, get the attention of these artists and realized, “THEY should be on the cover of Rolling Stone.”

-Marie Smith
Visitor Center Manager for Markham Vineyards

The show only runs until June 30th, 2013 so go today!

Here at home and when I travel around the globe for my writing workshops, I get all buzzy when a new class begins. I know from over 12 years of experience that the dolls who show up to write from their sweet hearts are kindred spirits, ready to open up and soar! Not to mention laugh, cry, crack up and come to amazing (and sometimes surprising) realizations. The women in class usually become very close friends, especially after 8 weeks of revelatory expression! I LOVE my “dolls,” — each one courageous, precious, darling, beloved angels to me! Come to class and discover more of who you REALLY are! See the schedule here and sign up.

Check out these latest raves from some Austin dolls!
It’s time to write that down

Slide a white-gloved finger across the soul of one of Miz Pamela’s writing groups and it comes up covered in honey.

If you’ve started to suspect who you are or you already know and have stopped apologizing, It’s time to write that down.

Bring your open mind. Bring the girl you were at age 9. Bring the liner notes you memorized from your favorite music in junior high. Bring the sheets — or a section of carpeting from the floor of the van where you lost your virginity.
Come ready to describe your details.

Don’t say you can’t write, if you’re reading this, you know you could’ve written it yourself.

— Kris from Austin
Back rub for my mind

I moved probably 10 times between the ages of 16 to 36 and never got rid of the journals I’d kept from elementary school through college age. I did that because they were important to who I am.

Why did I stop writing? Life got in the way.

Then one day I was nearly shoved into Pamela Des Barres writing group and I knew I would hate it while also sucking at it and leave feeling ashamed.

Almost a decade later, I’ve attended as many of these sessions as were offered in my city and written a solid bridge back to the girl I was.

It’s a back rub for my mind. It’s hard and delicious and funny. It’s like a summer camp without a list of items your mom has to label with your last name.

You can make your name up! I call myself Cliche Guevara and another attendee wants to be known as CoCo Dependent.
Come and see.
