From the Jan. 23, 2014, Yahoo! Music.
Robert Palmer won a Grammy in 1987 for Best Rock Vocal Performance, Male for his "Addicted to Love." . The famous video for his song was released the year before and featured "fembot beauties." I was never sure if they were really pretty or really ugly. But definitely, they were something different.
Patty Elias was a guitarist and has since sold her Grammy at a garage sale in Santa Monica, California.
Kathy Davies was the drummer and still can't watch the video, but remembers having a great view of the late Robert Palmer's butt.
Mak Gilchrist was the bassist and remembers the musicians union demanded they be paid union wage, despite not playing the instruments.
Julia Bolino was lead guitarist and says there were five musicians behind the camera, they were just miming.
Two of the "girls" have children who think of them as hot moms.
For the video, they wore really red lipstick, white faces and super black, short hair. Their job was essentially just to move back and forth. They had short, short dresses on showing lots and lots of leg.
Kind of reminded my of very slow-moving Ikettes.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
