I am pretty sure that is a mirror image of the original photo.
Look at headlight to the left of the photo. That paint job matches the one in the auctioned car.
Besides, Janis Joplin was left handed and the photo as shown has her smoking the stogie (or whatever) with her right hand, so it very probably is a mirror image photo.
Man she sure favored those red crushed velvet or crushed corduroy pants didn’t she?
Lots of pics of her in those britches
A tragic figure
So talented but homely and rejected and used by men all her life she just threw herself at them more
People treated her cruelly based on her looks and idiosyncratic behavior
She was kind of a beat blues cum hippie chick....
Sad and pained
Ridicule can be the worst form of cruelty especially when it’s a public humiliation based on a woman’s looks
Her college....pissant Lamar College....the fraternities awarded her most handsome man on campus...
That’s a helluva public blow to woman’s self esteem
No shock to me she self destructed
