Roxana Shirazi’s ‘The Last Living Slut’ Chronicles Her Hot Sexcapades With Rock Stars
May 23, 2010
Rush & Molly of NYDailynews.com report: Roxana Shirazi engaged in some risky sex while hanging with rock’s raunchiest hair bands. But the unrepentant groupie is courting bigger danger with her memoir, “The Last Living Slut: Born in Iran, Bred Backstage.”
Shirazi says several editors and agents passed on her manuscript for fear of a fatwa – the Islamic death sentence that once put “Satanic Verses” author Salman Rushdie in fear of his life.
But her two champions, authors Neil Strauss and Anthony Bozza, finally persuaded HarperCollins to publish it under the new Igniter imprint.
It’s not hard to see what might incite the mullahs in Tehran, where Shirazi lived until she was 10.
“I haven’t attacked Islam itself,” she tells us. “But they probably don’t think I should be writing about doing sex during my Koran classes.”
Her later rock debauchery is so explicit as to make Pamela Des Barres’ famous “I’m With the Band” read “like a nun’s diary,” the book warns.
There’s also the art: photos of a naked Shirazi, and another of her dressed in a traditional chador while making an obscene gesture with her fingers and tongue.
“I think I would get killed if I went back to Tehran,” says the thirtysomething Londoner, who holds a master of fine arts degree and lectures on gender and identity.
Iran’s dignity police may have to get in line behind Guns N’ Roses, Motley Crue, Velvet Revolver, Papa Roach and Skid Row, whose members she slices and dices.
Various inebriated axmen had trouble, um, getting into tune. Tommy Lee was rarin’ to go when Shirazi invited him to watch her perform an unusual gynecological feat. But she found him too “bossy” and hated his techno music.
“I was always more into Nikki Sixx,” she says. “But when we went to dinner, I found him a little dull. He talked about his gardening.”
She never found Skid Row’s Sebastian Bach that hot, but that didn’t prevent her from giving him, shall we say, an all-access pass. But she was mortified when Axl Rose walked in on them.
Rose’s bandmate Dizzy Reed comes off the worst. Shirazi contends that the keyboardist “was childish and dorky in his seduction” but she eventually found him remarkably sensitive by heavy-metal standards.
“I fell in love with him,” she tells us. “It was a huge mistake.”
When she told Reed she was pregnant, she says, he encouraged her to have an abortion and began bombarding her with cruel texts.
“I hope you go through more abortions, to be honest … have a wonderful time aborting your children, you piece of s–,” he said in one, according to Shirazi, who says she still has his messages.
(Reed’s manager didn’t respond to messages.)
She says she became so depressed that, one night in a Hollywood motel, she took an overdose of painkillers.
Thankfully, she lived to tell the tale, and quite artfully. The book is out June 1.
