 '''Christine Frka''' (San Pedro, [[California]], November 27, 1942 - Cohasset, [[Massachusetts]], USA, November 5, 1972) was an American performance artist, groupie and member of the [[GTO's]].

 As a teenager, Frka and her friend [[Sandra Leano]] moved from San Pedro to L.A. They lived at [[The Log Cabin]], when [[Carl Franzoni]] was in residence with his commune. There she became aquainted with the local freak scene and Franzoni and [[Vito Paulekas]]' ''"[[Laurel Canyon]] Dance Company"''. When Zappa moved from New York in 1968 he rented the Log Cabin and Frka became a babysitter in Zappa's household.
-Frka can be seen on the cover of ''"[[Hot Rats]]"'' and she was a member of Zappa's '''Girls Together Outrageously''' project, aka the [[GTO's]]. It was Frka who suggested Zappa to give [[Alice Cooper]] a recording contract and she was instrumental in establishing their image. In later years Frka moved to Cohasset, Massachusetts, renting accommodation from Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers. Her final years were spent in much discomfort, encased in a body-cast to help correct a crooked spine. She died of a drug overdose in the fall of 1972.
