More openly romantic than her good friend, it isn’t hard to see how she was so deeply affected by the events of her teenage years. Liv's parents, her mother, Bebe Buell, a model and singer, and her then-partner, Todd Rundgren, a phenomenal musician, and Steven had made a pact that Rundgren would be Liv's father. Even in her trashiest outfits, her huge smile lights up the snapshots and she never appears as cheap as Sable sometimes did. Often wearing hot pants with halter tops made from long, thin scarves that barely covered her pre-pubescent breasts, Lori was just as likely to wear a vintage 40s satin gown with a mink stole. Just like Sable, Lori’s style was an amalgamation of trash and full-on glamour. Lori drifted out of the groupie scene and briefly got back together with Jimmy in the early 80s she supposedly never got over the pain of their first breakup but has gone on to a stable career as a buyer in LA and has a son. Jimmy watched his former and current girlfriends fight it out from the safety of his room, laughing hysterically. When Bebe opened the door with the chain on it, Lori reached through, grabbing Bebe’s hair and trying to drag her out.


She fled but came back later and knocked on the door. The next day Lori went to the Hyatt where she found Jimmy and Bebe in bed together. When Bebe and Jimmy were leaving the party, she cornered them, screaming at Jimmy, “Why are you doing this to me?” but he ignored her and went to the Rainbow Room where he had a huge fight with Bebe over his cruelty to Lori. Out of her mind on Quaaludes, she stumbled around the party, bloodying her nose and soaking her white gown in blood. Bebe was Jimmy’s date for the Swan Song soiree, which Lori found incredibly upsetting since she was still in love with him. When she was 16 he left her for Bebe Buell, the Playmate who had recently been living with Todd Rundgren. His relationship with Pamela ended dramatically when he took her to a party for the band but left with Lori.īy all accounts, Jimmy and Lori were very in love and for the next year and a half she traveled often with the band. It was magnificent.” They started an affair that night, which was kept secret since she was only 14 and he was still dating Pamela. and Jimmy was just sitting there in a corner, wearing this hat slouched over his eyes and holding a cane. Interviewed in Hammer of the Gods, a biography of Led Zeppelin, Lori said that the room “was dimly lit by candles. Lori avoided his advances several times, later stating that she was frightened of him finally Led Zeppelin’s tour manager “kidnapped” her and brought her to the Hyatt and to Jimmy’s room.
