The techniques used by groupies to get close to their targets vary almost as much as the groupies themselves. Certainly, female groupies can wear clothing that highlights their physical attributes — or remove clothing, for that matter. Sometimes their availability and dogged persistence at pursuing their lust object are enough.

Some groupies go so far as to create an imaginary world wherein they would be the replacements for their targets’ primary relationships (marrying them, or at least becoming their "road wife"), with some making themselves available to any famous celebrity (any rock band that rolls into town), while others focus closely on one particular target (and becoming a "regular"). Marriage is a relationship that plays a key role in the definition of many families. ...

The film's groupie character, Penny Lane, is modeled after 2 women that Crowe knew, one of whom was the model/singer turned super-groupie Bebe Buell. A groupie is defined in that movie as follows: "Groupies sleep with rock stars because they want to be near somebody famous"; the groupie characters insist that they are "Band Aides" instead, stopping short of sex. Later, a character, looking at some groupies, says: "They don't even know what it is to be a fan. You know, to truly love some silly little piece of music, or some band, so much that it hurts."^[3]
