#brian's girlfriends

"Brian was very moody, which I like, and he was physically attractive as well - he looked kind of like a girl in a funny kind of way; sexually I like girls as well as men and Brian seemed to combine both sexes for me. At the same time, he was funny as well. He had a great sense of humour - how could I not love a man who could make me laugh? Also, Brian was very outspoken, blunt, said everything on his mind, outrageous things, and he had a wonderful curiosity - curious about new things, new places, wanted to know everything that was going on, wanted to meet new people, new ideas, learn the new dances."

"I picked him up with his girlfriend, Suki Potier, and noticed that yet again Brian had become involved with a woman who was the mirror image of himself. Women seemed compelled to look like Brian; it was as though they were worried that he was more beautiful than they. They´d all cut their hair into long fringes, like his, and they would wear Moroccan clothes borrowed from his wardrobe. Brian had once come out with some garbled theory to me about how he believed most beautiful women were narcissistic and they dug making love to him because it was as close as they could get to making love to themselves. The theory had sounded faintly ludicrous, but I had been unable to deny the extraordinary sway Brian held over women. He once told me he had slept with sixty in a particularly energetic month, and I´m certain he was telling the truth."

"Brian loved Mick and Keith. He really did. He considered them brothers. This was like having your own family reject you."

"Anita was a great inspiration to him and if one should not live and love dangerously then it would be better not to live at all."

- Stash Klossowski de Rola on Anita Pallenberg being an inspiration to Brian

Happy heavenly birthday to Anita Pallenberg! ❤️🎂

"I decided to kidnap Brian. It sounds ridiculous but they even made a film about it, about kidnapping a pop star ['Privilege'] starring Paul Jones. This was the original story, Brian seemed to be the most sexually flexible. I knew I could talk to him. As a matter of fact when I met him I was his groupie really. I got backstage with a photographer, I told him I just wanted to meet him. I had some Amyl Nitrate and a piece of hash. I asked Brian if he wanted a joint and he said yes, so he asked me back to his hotel and he cried all night. He was so upset about Mick and Keith still, saying they had teamed up on him. I felt so sorry for him. Brian was fantastic, he had everything going for him, but he was just too complicated."

I fell in love with Brian - in love all the way. He was a great guy, you know. Talented, funny, and with the instant quality of Let's do it. Let's try anything.

I'd like to dedicate this to the women who were part of Brian's life. As we know some of them had good and bad moments with him. Let's appreciate them for their love and strength. They are so much more than a girlfriend, they are also successful in their own right and some are wonderful mothers.

Happy international women's day!
