It has to be Lala Sloatman. Everything I have searched on her fits perfectly with Nic's "Zelda." Also, the "soft core porn" that she stars in when they are watching late-night Cinemax would be the movie Net Games.Also in Tweak, Nic says that Zelda's father has all these Marine tattoos. Lala's father was in the Marines. At his work, Nic's coworker says how Zelda's famous cousin is her friend--lots of famous Zappas. There is Nic's description of the clothes that he was wearing when he went into rehab after going on a run with Zelda (bellbottoms, looking like a rock star, etc.). All clothes belonging to Zelda's ex. Chris Robinson dresses exactly like that, and Nic has the same kind of look as Robinson: long hair, skinny, etc., so it makes sense that she would hook up with him.
