(This is my first TFS post, so I apologize if I do something incorrectly)
I don't think I've seen this photo posted before... Nico driving the VU bus. Not surprisingly, Paul Morrissey is caught in a Nico-centric act.

Some new pictures! First from corbis, second taken by Ewa Rudling, third and forth from ebay, last one from http://ishotfridakahlo.blogspot.com/2008_12_30_archive.html.

More! I don't know where the second and third are from because they have been saved on my computer forever. The last two were taken by Herbert Tobias and are from livejournal user jolita. The third one's been posted alot but i think this one is better quality.

brian and nico - fantastic duo! and i love the photo of her being directed by fellini!

Brian was abusive to Nico, so I don't like them together.
I do, however, like that third photo - it's beautiful!

 

[babydoll1125]

I was disgusted after reading all the things Brian did to Nico but she also kept hanging out with him.

brian was terrible with all the women that he's got envolved

i love the modelling pictures

those model photos are such stark contrasts to the way she looked when she was in NYC with the factory.

And to think, she'd probably be considered a plus-size model these days - going by the early 60's modeling pics.
I think she looked her best around '65-'67 w/ long blonde hair, and a little thinner b/c then you could really see her beautiful bone structure.

i agree,i like the moodier look of nico. although i would have preferred it without the heroin.

exactly my thoughts - i think that nico looked so stunning around 65-67!
i just love her cheekbones and you could see it very well back in that time.

Her face looked so much wider when she was younger even when she was thin. She did loose her baby weight really fast after Ari because she's really thin in Strip-Tease and that was less than a year after. She did look best from '65-'67. That look suited her so well!

There's a picture of Nico in 1958 here:
