CATHERINE JAMES, MISS MERCY (GTO) and MISS PAMELA (GTO) READ ORIGINAL WORKS AT JUJU SORELLI'S EVIL ROCK 'N' ROLL CAT BOUTIQUE

Above, Catherine James, Pamela Des Barres, Mercy Peters and Juju Sorelli, proprietor of The Evil Rock 'n' Roll Cat boutique, 4679 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood CA 90027, site of a book reading by the first three ladies, 7.16.16.

Legendary rock music muses Catherine James, 

Pamela Des Barres and Mercy Peters (the latter two of the legendary GTOs singing/performance art troupe of the late 1960s who released an album on Frank Zappa's label) answered audience questions and read from their respective books, James' Dandelion: Memoir of a Free Spirit, and Des Barres' I'm With The Band plus Take Another Little Piece of my Heart, with Miss Mercy reading from assorted diaries and articles.

My review of Catherine James book can be found within here, click LINK* as well as a bit more about Pamela Des Barres film directing and the oeuvre her art entails.

I was surprised not to see our mutual friend, photographer Brad Elterman at this event.

Juju Sorelli's expat success story is entertaining in and of itself. Go for Vogue Magazine's article on her here LINK**.

Her boutique resembles a pop culture mini-museum as much as a clothing store. Note some of her store posters:
