Excerpt from Courtney Love: The Real Story by Poppy Z Brite [pg 46]:
Courtney's best friends were Ursula Wehr and Robin Barbur, two beautiful girls who were major figures in the Portland punk scene circa 1981. Ursula worked at the Met and called herself Queen of the Fags. Robin had a beautiful singing voice. The three of them decided to start a band, Sugar Babylon, whose practice sessions mostly consisted of drinking coffee at Denny's and talking about the mansions, clothes, and private jets they were going to have when they reached the top of the charts.
They dyed their hair blue-black and teased it high, wore smudged jet-black eyeliner and blood-red lipstick, draped themselves in diaphanous thrift-store finery and far too many bracelets. "It was more like we were maybe going to be a band," recalls Ursula, who now sings in the Portland band Candy 500. "We'd get together and drink a lot of wine."
