Biography
Cynthia Plaster Caster was born in 1947 in Chicago, Illinois, USA as Cynthia Albritton. She became famous as a rock 'n roll groupie and specifically for creating the Plaster Casters Of Chicago. Led by herself with a series of assistants, Cynthia made casts of the erect penises of dozens of men involved in rock music over a 30 year period, eventually also casting the breasts of female musicians. Arguably her most famous cast is that of Jimi Hendrix.

The Story of Rock 'n' Roll Comics
It all started with a carton at an auction... In 2007, a collector of rock memorabilia bought a carton of vintage records, posters, concert ephemera, and an old film reel at an auction in Europe. When he got home, he examined the contents and saw the 8mm film labeled "Black Man". He borrowed a projector and discovered the unbelievable truth: The man was Jimi Hendrix. After authenticating the image as best he could, the collector found Vivid, and a vast investigation was launched. A group of Hendrix experts and historians directed Vivid to two girls who knew the artist intimately: Cynthia "Plaster Caster", who personally cast Jimi's penis in plaster, along with Pamela Des Barres, the world famous "supergroupie".
