Girlfriend of grunge in the 90s

When I think of the 90s I’ve said before in the previous place it really gives me Pisces vibes, but obviously there’s some heavy Capricorn placements like Neptune and Uranus in the early 90s and late 80s 80s which gave it that dark edge.

These are all the girlfriends of grunge who I think are important, to mention in this story. first of all, we have Courtney Love, she is obviously the most known one out of all of these in this one, she was known for being an outspoken, kind of feminist, kind of misogynist, all rolled into one.

Boy, has she been through the wringer, being called, the Nancy Spudgen, a hole, of Nirvana, which is very low?, especially considering that Nancy was dead and it went through a lot of herself with sexist and press., it was probably because Courtney moulded herself around. I do have a lot more compassion for Nancy for what she’s been through because Courtney seems a lot more., vindictive with what she does and how she betray herself, Whatever I’ve seen about Nancy she seems less control of her behaviour but that’s okay sometimes if personality disorders in Courtney’s case

Sometimes sometimes compulsive liars get addicted to their own lies and end up saying things that aren’t true, Kat bjelland  said 70% of what Courtney said is the truth, work out which bits are not?

But Courtney has been a pioneer in this area of, making music for girls and teenagers, and fully grown women like myself in my 30s, she makes you feel powerful, she makes you feel like you could do anything when you listen to one of her songs, and dressing up with her makes you feel even more powerful, there would be no grunge is aesthetic or kinder whore without these two women. have a lot of people who can’t stand Courtney love some of them are a lot of them are women as well they think she’s too egotistical honestly I think they’re just a bit bit jealous no I don’t think they will jealous. I think people are just intimidated.

Then you have our alternative Winona , who has been popular with the boy band members, alternative and rock boy bands not pop ,members, I think she even went out with that guy from County, Monica and Rachel from friends, I know Courtney and Jennifer, ha ha I just realised that could’ve been Jennifer Finch and Courtney love.

Yeah, she’s been around, she’s gone even when she shoplifted and had to go, she was still soft-spoken, who was obviously taking advantage of Johnny Depp from such a young age that it affected her for the rest of her adult life, she said her first everything . Which put a huge power in balance in the relationship. He moved onto Kate Moss., Winona Ryder you’re still that girl forever, she is like the actress alternative grunge girl, the music version, but in very different as, kind of like light feminine and dark feminine.

And you have demri , Lane Staleys model girlfriend, who he was with for many years since the 80s on and off,, they had a very up-and-down relationship, caused by drug and alcohol dependency, but you could tell that they really love each other they weren’t like where they were like a publicity machine, not that you can even call them but they were back in the day not that you know, kept his private life private, even people who went to school with him didn’t know that it was him graduated with because he was quiet and he kept a different last name, but absolutely stunning as you can see from my pictures very similar to Kristen pfaff , I’m sorry Hole fans ,you do not give enough credit for, anyway, Demri , and layne up breaking up, which people say he wasn’t the same after, she died in 1996, bacteria from the needle, to her heart and affected her a really bad way and got into an infection . he evidently died, a few years after cut to the same day he wasn’t found until his body was not in a good way. Let’s put it that., I hope they’re together in heaven happy and in love

Kristen Pfaff ,of Hole her death was extremely suspicious, and I know Nirvana fans believe this, not Courtney fans but I am on the fence with this. I find Courtney really appealing and really gracious and appealing. That’s the only way I can put it just very charismatic and that’s what her dad was like to, Kristen, given a hot shot, she’d got clean after Kurt Cobain died, pages in her diary were missing from that week. which is also extremely strange her family did not like Courtney and they find the whole thing suspiciousl brother was with her a lot of the time during those days. she was with a bang called Janet Joe and she got back with them. She was only meant to be touring bassist , she stayed a bit longer, was with Eric Allanson only because he was the only guy there at the time and I, advantage if you see pictures of her before she moves to Seattle, Courtney needs to give her bags with syringes and bags of heroin , she was professionally trained in, you can master the piano said that you can master anything it’s genius level music. sad that she died and the fans don’t give her credit “live through this “ is one of the best albums ever, this is my mix of the main grunge girls of the 90s and their impact and how talented they were in all different ways.

What do I see across the way? Hey....

See myself molded in clay. Oh.....

Alice in Chains - Dirt (Columbia, 1992) - Photographed by Rocky Schenck, designed by Schenck and Mary Maurer

The woman buried in the dirt is model Mariah O'Brien. The photo wasn't taken from an actual desert, but from Schenck's studio in Hollywood (who in their right mind would take photos in the uninhabitable California deserts for hours?). Drummer Sean Kinney, noted photo enthusiast, supervised the shoot.

A theory circulated for a while that the model in the cover was Demri Parrott, Layne Staley's love interest at the time. Schenck ended up setting the record straight, stating that while her name was brought up as choice, the group never took the idea seriously.

Yeah I suppose the photographer can be Cliff... I actually thought, the first time I saw the photo, that it was them in a car park, but now that I look closely maybe they are not there?

Still, it doesn't mean is in his book (which is impossible to get anyway). Like, honest, I wish Demri was everywhere, in all the magazines, books, etc, but she was not so...

It would be cool to have a HQ copy of that photo nonetheless...

For those who love Demri (Layne’s Girl) Here she is in the late 80’s with her close friend Fabiola.

Demri and Mara were soul sisters, according to Mara.

💬 Mara Whelan: “We have a moon that my kids know as a Demri moon – when it’s just a sliver of a fingernail of a crescent. That was her favorite time of the moon.”

 “She was the most beautiful soul that ever existed. What I would do to feel her hand in mine again.”

“Layne got Sadie as a kitten from me. He always wanted to have a baby girl with Demri and name her Sadie. When Demri found out he had named his kitten that she was furious because that name was supposed to be reserved for the daughter that clearly they would never had. I am glad he didn’t wait to use the name.”

“This photo brings back so many memories. It has never been shared because it was in her mom’s possession till recently. I’m just reflecting on me listening to Demri here with love.” – Fabiola

It was Demri's idea to have a photoshot in her homeland in the countryside. Shared by Fabiola in the comments on Facebook

Ca. 1990 - Demri Parrott's contact sheets by Krista Kay. From her instagram. Her caption:

One of the benefits of borderline hoarding/sentimental fixation is the unintentional time capsules you create when you hang on to nearly everything. Going through old file cabinets (if you’re the sort to have multiple file cabinets filled to max capacity with old papers) is like an archeological dig. Way in the back of a dusty metal cabinet in my basement, surviving countless moves and 35 years, sits a couple notebooks from college. One has marginalia with my scribbles to “Call Demri” and another has held a contact sheet for the end of a roll of film. I’ll bet it’s from 1990. It feels like she’s ringing me up with these little bread crumb discoveries. #seeingghosts #demriparrott #seattleinthe90s #calldemri

August 1991 - Demri's "Emotion" shots, by Alison Dyer at Dyer's home in Los Angeles.

Demri had the intention of using these photos for her acting portfolio.

💬 Amber Ferrano: “Demri was interested in a lot of things. Being in the hospital a lot she liked to read and watch a channel called AMC that was black and white movies from 40’s to 60’s. Her dream job was to be a soap opera actress and to play twins (evil and good) to be able to show her range...

I think she was one of the ones wanting to get her GED. I had a library card and she was there. She loved the idea of getting a degree. Her dream job was to be an actress or continue modeling as an adult woman...

Demri did not hold grudges ‘cause she got that humans aren’t perfect. Demri had a huge heart, a huge conscience and a soul. If she hurt you in any way, I promise you, she did feel bad and was thinking of a way to make it up to you. She knew she wasn’t perfect. She thought once she made it big as an actress she would make everything right. She would have done anything for a friend or a family member or a stranger even if it was bad for her."

Demri was passionate about many things and excelled in art and theatre. She was interested in philosophy and poetry, loved to collect vintage clothes, make decoupage, and play in front of the camera. Demri was well known and had numerous friends that she touched with her charismatic and enchanting personality. Most of her friends described her as a very sweet and beautiful person, kind, peaceful and artistic. Rare pictures show her to be tiny, soft-featured and pretty, with long brown hair and hazel eyes.
