I remember in the '60's a group of girls(groupies) who would follow =
around male rock stars and ask permission to cast their penises(peni?) =
in plaster for their collection. They put out a book that showed their =
"technique" and had photos of their contributors. I remember Mick =
Jagger, being in this a lot. It was in Haight Ashbury, I think. Oh =
yea, their name? The plaster casters. No lie.
