Groupies
Most people think of a groupie as a follower, a fan, a devotee, a buff. An enthusiast about something or someone. In fact, the term has been around for quite some time, history records groupies as sporting about with Alexander's world-conquering Greeks in the 4ht century BC. Today, however, when someone hears the word groupie. A particular type of girl comes to mind: the rock groupie. Generally not just a follower of one band in particular, she is often a devotee of any band that plays rock music. Being is the entertainment business and frequently being able to attend rock-and-roll events. I see this girl every time I go to a rock club. She is usually with her friends. Who in turn are more than likely groupies themselves. To many she mystifies. To others she is the social enigma. To rock members, though, she perhaps is entertaining. Obviously she is many things to different people, nonetheless, I have become aware of the qualifying elements that help define precisely what a groupie is these elements are easily noted. The first overt sign that alerts you that a particular girl is a groupie is the way she dresses. Usually wearing a very tight (sexy?), short, black, leather mini-skirt with a fitted small, and equal
Still, the reason people consider this type o girl a groupie is not strictly because of her flashy appearance, nor is it strictly because of the intimate topic of conversation she chooses. One important distinction of a groupie involves her actions, a groupie, for example, makes her glittery presence known for prancing back and forth to the club's well-stocked restroom. If someone happens to be in there when a groupie comes in. The smart individual will probably leave immediately. To avoid the inevitable dense haze of sticky hair spray that's sure to follow. Once her hair becomes firmly rigid, the groupie then proceeds to stand (teeter?) right at the front of the stage, swaying and flirting with the band members. If they do not seem to notice her, she will start to dance erotically, often alone, twisting, grinding, gyrating to the rock music she so adores. After the band has finished the performance, the groupie will wait anxiously near the stage a to try to talk to members as they head for the dressing room. If somehow she doesn't get to one of the band members, she goes directly to the roadies and attempts to talk to one of them. The groupie instinctively senses her competition, she knows how to compete. A roadie, she concludes, at least might be her invitation to whatever is to follow afterwards. Which just might be mote than what her competition (Sally, Tracy, Krystal) wound up with. A veteran groupie, in fact, will almost always leave the club with a member
