I think the culture today is very, very different from what it was in the '60s, and I feel lucky that I grew up at a time when I had these very strong female role models.

In real life Ming Tea consisted of actor Mike Myers Hoffs Canadian musician/producer Christopher Ward and singer Matthew Sweet. Robbie Fulks wrote about her in "That Bangle Girl" which appears on his album The Very Best of Robbie Fulks. This group made a number of television performances (with Myers in character as Powers) and had a minor hit with the song "BBC".

She is best known as a member of the all-female pop band The Bangles.
