GOOD TIME GIRLS
The lives and loves of The Rolling Stones
by KOD Staff
The Rolling Stones are world famous for their way with women. Although many of their girlfriends were only involved with the band for a short time, there were some who had a huge influence on the Stones’ music; inspiring or co-writing tracks.
Most were models or musicians and they often caused tense rivalries within the group as many had relationships with several members - exploiting the free-love ethos of the Sixties. In his autobiography, Keith Richards describes his relationship with Mick Jagger as “like two alphas fighting”, especially when it came to women. However, in most cases these women were celebrities in their own right: talented and beautiful – guiding the Stones through their success.

Out of time: Chrissie Shrimpton in 1968
When Mick Jagger began dating his first serious girlfriend, Chrissie Shrimpton — the younger sister of celebrated Sixties model Jean Shrimpton and an ethereal beauty in her own right — he had yet to grow into the looks which would earn him a reputation as one of rock ’n’ roll’s greatest lotharios.
‘My sister Jean at that time was going around with a lot of debby Vogue types,’ remembers Chrissie. ‘I used to hear them whispering, “Poor Chrissie, her boyfriend’s so ugly.”’
Small, scrawny and with those famously large lips — once described as capable of ‘sucking the egg out of a chicken’s a***’ — the young Mick would attract such unfavourable attention for some time to come.
He was then 19 and a student at the London School of Economics, while Chrissie, 17, was a secretary in Covent Garden — in those days still the scene of a raucous fruit and veg market.
‘Mick would come and meet me for lunch,’ she recalls. ‘One day, as we walked through the market, a stall-holder threw a cabbage at
