She loves having sh&t to drama whine about. I am sure she was uncomfortable and would have preferred not taking her top off, especially around a photographer and maybe assistants or whatever.... but any telling of a story is embellished. I honestly doubt she was traumatized by it. I can totally imagine her feeling caught off guard and pressured to do something she wasn't comfortable with, and that's not cool.
yeah, she was just topless. don't know where the naked thing came from. unless she was just embellishing.

None of her stories ever match the facts.

I think it’s a great photo.
They are two beautiful people just showing a bit of flesh!
Nothing more.
She has kept her modesty by the shadow.

If I had a similar photo it would be hanging somewhere , pride of place..
For my Grandchildren to see….what Grandma used to look like…

I think it's the "Barbra: The Music... The Mem'ries... The Magic!" Miami concert video when she explained what she was wearing in the A Star Is Born poster. She said... MUSK. And everybody laughed.

Now that they are in full promotion of the re release, Stevie could say something similar, it would have been wittier.

But exposing yourself to a sex partner isn’t the same as exposing yourself to people you’re not having sex with. Also, the thing about nudity is . . . it’s how you’re raised. It doesn’t necessarily have to do with being a prude. In Europe, public nudity is no big thing. In America, people aren’t comfortable with it. You could have a wild sex life, but still not want to go topless at the beach.

I have often wondered about FM, before they hit it big. How much privacy did they have? Christine has mentioned that it was hard to be alone with John because there was always a gang of other people around. And Stevie has talked about the car being so crowded that Chris had to sit on the instrument cases in the back seat. I wonder if they had to undress in front of each other on the road. I mean, it’s something you have to get used to.

Exhibitionists are not born, they’re created.

Even though it seems it was the most expensive package. I understand those singles are different than the album version? Otherwise it wouldn't be worth it, would it?

So many of the things she's said though, make her come across as somewhat of a prude, yet her track record is anything but prudish.

I've often wondered what it was like being in FM, pre SN/LB. I'm sure they had fans, but can also imagine they could go shopping without getting mobbed.

Tell me about it. I'm a nudist, but ABSOLUTELY NOT an exhibitionist. Those are two different things. I sold my country house almost 3 years ago now, and man, do I miss watering the entire garden in the buff, first thing every morning.

there was an article around the time of the white album, I want to say People magazine but not sure it was around then, anyway the reporter went to the grocery store with Chris. She was loading the cart with beer and like ice cream and stuff and they were chatting while she shopped. No one seemed to recognize her. Maybe someone knows where a copy of that is. (It was also the interview where she made a cringey comment about how she attracted some lesbian fans). She was completely not prepped by a slick PR team. Same with the rest of the band in all those early interviews. They still seemed like normal people.

someone recently posted a link on social media to an old old interview with Mick and Lindsey around the time of the white album, and it was being shown to Stevie in recent years and she was commentating on it and saying how nice it was to see and how it was before they all got rich and famous and a bit "conceited"....
ETA: here's the link: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DMd4I..._web_copy_link Her lack of self-reflection or self-awareness in what she says in this clip is just stunning....

And then just yesterday I saw a post somewhere else of some footage of one of the Tusk photo shoots where they are all wasted but Stevie most especially and she is just flitting around and she HANGS all over John and he crouches down to get away and she just keeps draping herself over him and he gets super annoyed....she then flits around by herself and then starts hanging all over Lindsey. Some of the comments were like "if she's not the center of attention for 5 minutes she can't handle it"

nudity seems to be no big thing in europe, but england seems a bit more uptight about it....? maybe it also depends on your individual comfort level. jenny fleetwood wrote in her book that when they moved to CA and swam in john mayall's pool, they got drunk and did 'naked underwater acrobatics'-- mick wouldn't come down and participate at all, but john surprised them by galloping down the path naked and jumping into the pool! and chris kept the string of her bikini top tied around her neck floating on top of the water as a last attempt at modesty lol.

there probably wasn't much privacy in those days before they hit it big and had fancy hotel rooms. or by that point if J&C did have 'alone time', they were drunk and annoying the crap out of each other. chris even said at benifold that it was an odd way to live, w/ everyone scattering to their own 'particular sections' but without very much privacy.

they prob did have to undress in front of each other on the road. i mean, didn't the 3 guys usually always share 1 dressing room? and the ladies prob had to also, at least in the early days.

do you remember where you saw where she said it was hard to be alone w john because there was always a gang of people around? i'd be curious to read that, it doesn't ring a bell. altho it makes sense. and all that constant forced togetherness doesn't exactly make you want to jump each other's bones

That was the 77 rolling stone article by cameron crowe when they were on the cover, when they were interviewed individually and talking about their relationships etc. in those days they may have been able to still shop in relative anonymity. i remember in interview w john from maybe 1975 where i think he mentioned how he could still go wherever he wanted, but that the women were beginning to get recognized.

They are all so wasted in those tusk photo shoots, but stevie in particular seems to be a little annoying at times, wandering off, hanging all over the others...at times john seemed amused and other times he seemed like he'd def had enough!

At one point Chris has to grab Stevie and tell her to get back in place during the photo shoot.

I will look for the old interview with Chris. She said something about not being able to be alone with John. I think she may have called him her old man. But I believe she was discussing the days of touring before BN.

a LITTLE annoying???

she seems a total PITA thru the whole thing.... wasted out of her gourd and delusional that it is all about HER.

John seems majorly irritated by her at the beginning where she's literally draped over him and he has to crouch down and maneuver to get out from under her. Later she comes back like a pesky mosquito he has to keep swatting away through the rest of it.

i love how once he crawls away she's off to the side flouncing by herself and a few times mick looks over like should I at least point her towards the camera? She eventually starts draping herself around Lindsey like he's just a prop.

Conceited doesn't even begin to address it.

Did they release Frozen Love as a single for this? No vid for it on YT that I can see.
