Sounds like groupies or even street whores-- "painted ladies". Personally, I think Robert Plant is bi so "L.A. queens" might be about gay guys or trannies. Other than that, the only thing certain is they're young and he's mocking them, and all the while he's banging them:

"Oh, baby, I couldn't count the times the fun of comin', oh the pain in leavin', Baby, dry those silver eyes "

"Do you know my name, do I look the same"-- it sounds like that's the groupie talking and he's mocking their desperation.

Zep is kind of gross, huh? I love their music but that all sounds so sleazy and pitiful...
