Title: Was Ronnie really that fat? Today's Header

I was really shocked when I looked at today's header, Dec. 8 2012.
His face and his neck are really looking fat. Horribly fat. Can't believe it.

Yeah it's a pretty bad pic. Pretty sure it's just a trick of the camera lense combined with unfortunate visuals from Woody.

But he does look like some dreadful guido from Queens, NYC.

It really is a strange picture...First thought I had was why sit so crowed together on a private jet...they look like they are on a crosstown local bus...

second is the contrast of the 3...Jagger is all dolled up with nail polish...sport coat and a daintilly held cigareillo ( or mascara applicator),
Keith looks like a West Hollyweed hairdresser...and Ronny looks like a Long Island new wave / rocker wannabe who raided his gypsy grandmothers jewelry box

Strange times they must have been for all involved

Keith looks GREAT, btw

That's a totally different look for Ronnie, wasn't this taken around the time he joined The Stones? I remember an article in Rolling Stone at the time, he lost weight with The Faces, he put on weight with The Stones, I guess his drinking buddies (Faces) made him loose weight.

Why sit so close?
So there is less chance of dropping the mirror and coke.
Afterall, it was the later 70's when disco was in and white nose a common practice.

Looks like Uschi Obermaier to me.

Figured you'd rather see a pic of her than a watch. 8-)

I'm sure that watch was the latest technology at the time. Among the first digital.

And whoever cropped that pic of Uschi is cruel and unusual. :Youmakeagrownmancrylikejoey
