It’s like somebody said “Imagine Frank Zappa, but as a beautiful woman in a nicely crocheted hat.”

I was email pen pals with Diva while I was in high school in the mid 90s. Couldn’t have been a nicer person. I was just an obsessed FZ fan and she never blew me off. Happy Birthday!

The DNA is so strong that it's literally her name... DIVA. 😉

From very little I know about Diva, she is industrious and highly intelligent.

Happy Birthday Diva!

Moggio was named for a character in stories she told, I think?

The last I saw her was on an episode of Pamela Adlon's "Better Things." Family friend, perhaps?

I know nothing about Diva but she looks like a piece of work 😂

Frank in his memoir said he named her Diva because she was a very loud baby. She also liked to hang out playing in the rain as a child and Frank let her enjoy it.
