 <blockquote>"The [[GTO's]] (which stands for '''Girls Together Outrageously''') were a loose collection of  groupie-chicks that collected around the FrankZappa/[[The Mothers|Mothers of Invention]]/L.A. Rock-N-Roll scene in the late 60's/early 70's. The point of this amalgamation of super-groupies was to attract as much attention as possible (which they did) from rock gods and other celebrities, via a combination of freaky makeup, clothes and behavior (which was often spurred by rampant drug use and abuse). In terms of originality and inventiveness, most of the [[GTO's]] looked pretty rad...".</blockquote>

According to Frank, '''G.T.O.''' stands for '''Girls Together Occasionally''', '''Girls Together Only''', or '''Girls Together Often'''. Girls Together Only are lesbians. But the GTO's (the group) are not lesbians; they are merely girls who happen to like other girls' company".</blockquote>
