This very first post is dedicated to a Legendary woman, her incontestable style, her intense personality and decadence whom have lead her to be an essential part in the history of the non less legendary band "The Rolling Stones" 


First a little bit about Pallenberg, born in January 1944 in a Roma occupied by the Germans, from an Italian mother and a German father.
She began her career as a model for vogue and in 1965 met the Stones backstage in one of them shows, she offered them some Hasch, they all refused as they were going on stage but Brian Jones came to her after the show and the rest became history.

After 2 years of intense acid taking Brian Jones personality begin to change and he became violent, during a stay in Morocco in 67 Keith Richards witnesses Jones beating Pallenberg, Richards dragged her in his car and took her back to London, after 12 years and 3 kids together, the couple eventually grew appart as he was becoming sober and she couldn't at the time.
During the 60's period she was THE it-girl, a muse and an Icon.
Anita was a charismatic and brilliant woman with a disarming smile. 

Many have said that she had and unique and inspiring personality and a profound influence on the band from 67 to 73 so much that it has been said that Mick Jagger had the tracks on the Beggars Banquet album remixed when she criticized them. 

Marianne Faithfull said “wicked Anita” had “almost single-handedly transformed the Stones from pop stars into cultural icons”. “She was the most incredible woman I’d met in my life,”

She define herself as an adventurer and vagabond 
and says "I'm not a person with one specific talent. I wish, I was"
