Kind of requested by JohnsGirl11.

I know it's not exactly what you wanted, but I thought starting things off a bit slower might be better then jumping right into it.

Only problem, where do I start exactly?

Hmm... this might be innocent enough:

I'll type it out, because I doubt anyone can read it. (Well I can hardly read it too, some of what I typed out was rather guesswork. So pls don't quote me. 😅)

Brian Jones is probably the most unattached of The Stones. Unspoken-for, but not unwanted. This week in FABULOUS, Brian comes into the open and writes his usual honesty about MY KIND OF GIRL...

"I'm not surprised I haven't tied myself down with my kind of girl yet. After all, how many girls could I find who would make me tea, cook me meals, tidy my house and talk intelligently to me while I sit and watch with my feet up?
I'm very lazy. I like girls who phone up to ask me how I am and come round to the house to help me. I love all that. Love being pampered.

But I keep my relationships with girls casual, I'm wary, because I've been hurt and disappointed a few times. Even when they've loved me, girls have schemed against me... I don't know what goes on in their minds, but I've had the sticky end of that.

I don't think I'll get married for a long, long time. And when I do, I'll have to trust that girl all the way.
One girl in Copenhagen jumped the gun slightly. I took her out a couple of times, then when I left Denmark she told the Press we were engaged. Engaged!

I'm very disengaged at the moment, but you could say I have a girl in every port. Most of my friends are girls. There's only one thing a girl must have for me to like her, and that's long hair. I wear my own hair long, because it seems the natural thing to do.

I like a girl to be completely normal. If she wears make-up, I don't want to see it plastered all over her face. Eye make-up is only attractive when it's subtle. I don't like a girl to be coarse, I want her sweet and demure and feminine. A long-haired, thinking type who can talk music is for me.

Francoise Hardy is my idol girl image. I'm very lucky to know Francoise and her fiancé, Jean-Marie. They're my kind of people.

I don't like to put any girl down. I wouldn't pick holes in a girl or single out something I don't like about the way she looks. But I know what I like in a girl's personality. And I know what I dislike...

Girls who are wrapped up in themselves bore me. Empty-headed types don't interest me. Funny girls annoy me. My car is a Mini- Moke, (A.N. which is actually a really ugly car. Trust me.) and it's pretty open. A girl wouldn't have to worry about her hair being blown about if she came with me. I don't like girls who rush off to make up their faces every five minutes, and girls who giggle embraces me. I always think they're giggling about me.

A girl who is shy and retiring in company might open up over a quiet coffee, so I don't give up easily. But if she still has nothing to say by the the coffee stage... forget it.

I'm interested in the way girls dress. I like a girl who dresses to suit her own personality. British girls are better-dressed than any others in the world. Except for Australian girls in bikinis...

Girls send me great letters. I love reading them. And the presents... It's not necessarily the expensive presents that pleases me. I might rave over a gold bracelet, then open another parcel to find some old gonk (A.N. I'm not 100% sure, because I can't read it properly and I wasn't exactly sure what a gonk was either, but apparently it "was a somewhat egg-shaped or spherical novelty toy with furry appearances, sometimes having small arms and legs as well as goofy eyes, which achieved great popularity in the U.K. for a time in the 60's") with my initials on it that a girl has made herself. You can measure the value of the bracelet in sums of money, but how can you measure the love that went into making the gonk?

A girl once gave me a sweater that, she'd embroidered with my initials. I liked it so much that I wore it on RSG (A.N. Ready Steady Go! a British pop music TV show) and took it to America with me. I was shocked when a girl stole it as a souvenir. I have to cope with the lot.... The girl whose thoughts went into the gift and the girl who was thoughtless enough to take it from me.

But a girl is a girl is a girl. All of her. I can wait for mine to come along. Meanwhile, I'm sitting here in my tidy house, whit a cup of tea in my hand and my feet up.

The last part is kind of sad, considering he didn't find his girl before he died...

*cough*

Before we continue, let me show you which sweater he was talking about. Coincidentally I have a picture of it. ( as if sb believed me it was just a coincidence... 😅)

The most logical thing would now be to talk about his girlfriends, but I think that earns a separate chapter. There are a few I think are worth mentioning. Everyone knows Anita, but there were more. Obviously there had to be others, considering he fathered at least 5 children with 5 different women. ( there are rumours/assumptions or whatever you want to call it, that there are several more)

My favourite one is probably this one:

The first time I saw the headline I nearly died from laughter. 😅

I have no idea where it is from and it looks fake af. 🤔

Sorry I get very easily distracted.

Now back to women, Brian, marriage, contraception and everything in between.

I'll just post some quotes and stuff, so that everyone can make up their mind about it on their own, like I mentioned I try to keep this somewhat neutral and well I'm lazy. Furthermore why should I ramble, if you can read quotes.

"I'm all for it (birth control). I'm for legalised abortions as well."- Brian Jones, Melody Maker Pop Think-In,23 April, 1966

*Surprise, Surprise.*

"Does anyone really believe in marriage? I'm not ready for it yet. It's such a permanent thing. It's an anachronism, really- or it will soon become one."- Brian Jones, A Story About A Stone; A Love Story, Rave, February 1966.

"Very early on - before the word 'groupie' existed - while still in high school, I found out where the Stones were staying and hovered around their hotel rooms, hoping for a glimpse of those shaggy, titillating, naughty Brits. When a couple of brazen, giggling fans dared to knock on Brian Jones's door, he loudly threw it open, wearing only skivvies, boots, and a long scarf around his neck, wielding a broom. 'Get away from here!' he shouted. 'Or I'll drag you in here and FUCK you!'"- Pamela Des Barres, (I only found that quote online, so I'm kind of unsure about the origin. Sorry, but it's one of my favourites. lol Even though I don't understand why he had a broom in his room.😅)

"We lay down on a mattress and he unbuttoned my blouse. But after a bit of groping about, it just fizzled out. He was a wonderfully feeble guy, quite incapable of real sex. And of course he was doing a lot of Mandrax, which rendered him even more wobbly than he already was. Brian only had so much energy."-Marianne Faithfull, Faithfull. An Autobiography, June 2000.

I might post some more if I get my laptop repaired, these are the only ones I have on my phone concerning this topic and anyway the chapter is already rather long.

Like always if you have a question, request or anything you want me to add, just message me or comment and I'll see what I can do about it. 😊

Thanks for reading, voting and commenting.✌
