The first woman quotes her mother calling her "Nicole," and she also says that she "married a punk artist" in Los Angeles. Based on these clues and the time and place of her story, I'm betting that she is Nicole Panter, one-time wife of artist Gary Panter, former manager of the Germs, and a published author in her own right. I have not confirmed this; however, it is at least likely. | The first woman quotes her mother calling her "Nicole," and she also says that she "married a punk artist" in Los Angeles.
