Chris Colt, The Girl With The 45's was a stripper who worked in the 60's in various strip clubs in the southern part of the United States, mainly Texas and neighbouring states. Not much information is known about her life, apart from that Chris Colt was not her real name, but various blogs have mentioned that she is now married and living in Texas. [1]

In Margrave Of The Marshes, Peel and his friends were infatuated with Chris Colt, The Girl With The 45's (The 45's referred to the Colt 45 guns that she would use when stripping, although the guns were presumed to be fakes) and would follow her from one strip joint to another, even to the extent of leaving Dallas to drive to New Orleans to see her performances:
"Our main interest in New Orleans, I have to admit, was not centred on the music, the architecture of the French Quarter or the seafood, but a young woman billed as Chris Colt, the Girl With The 45s. This, let me remind you, was long before implants and Chris Colt was 100 per cent the real thing - so much so that my friends and I used to follow her from seedy strip joint to seedy strip joint, paying inflated cover charges as we went..."
Peel later thought that there may be more than one Chris Colt, the Girl With The 45's, but as far as internet research, it seems there was only one Chris Colt, The Girl With The 45's, who was based in Dallas, Texas.
