Default Is that Christine?

They were talking about this photo in Pre-Rumours and BombaySaffires pointed out that the standing woman looks like Christine. I think so too. So, do you say it is her? I feel like I recognize the jumper too. On the other hand, Jenny could easily look like that and I bet a lot of women of the day could as well, if your hair is falling over part of your face.

I think it is. The nose.

Realistically that photo could be of just about any English woman of that age/era. If you'd asked me if it was of Marianne Faithfull I'd be like "sure!". But given the context it seems a safe assumption that it's her.

If I had seen that picture randomly with no context, I would have assumed it was Christine. So I'm gonna say yes.

Really, though? I feel like we barely have anything to go on, with that picture quality. But I think I might just be terrible at faces.

That nose is unmistakable. Plus Christine often stands like that.

.........

But now I must edit. I went to the original post on the Early Years board. Given the context, I am not sure Christine would have allowed herself to be photographed with naked women. It's possible, though I can't really see her doing it. On the other hand, she is one of the most unlikely rock stars around. I can't picture her snorting coke from her dashboard on the California highway either. I saw another pic of this same group of people and it did appear as if Christine was sitting in the back with them. Who are these people?

It looks like it could be her, but here is another photo from the same session with the same blonde person in the back and it doesn't look like Christine in this shot (or like Danny)
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PqkLSe3CF2...1600/30166.jpg The topless woman is Ushi Obermaier and that's at the commune in Germany that Peter Green visited in 1970, so there is a link with Fleetwood Mac. Also these pics are from 1969, Christine's hair looked different that year.

Jeremy Spencer just confirmed it's not Christine (nor Danny)

Well, Jeremy solved the mystery, but nice sleuthing Sanne. You're a great photo detective.

That person's face is too thin to be Christine, although otherwise I agree there is a resemblance.
