These Rarely Seen Self-Portraits That Prove Stevie Nicks Is Not Only One of Sexy Women of Rock, But Also the Queen of Selfies

Stevie Nicks proved that she’s not only one of sexy women of Rock, but also the Queen of selfies.

Beginning in the mid-seventies, Stevie Nicks took a series of Polaroid self-portraits in her home as well as hotel rooms around the world while on tour. During the recording of her new solo album 24 Karat Gold - Songs From the Vault, she decided to share these never-before-seen self portraits.

“Some people don’t sleep at night, I am one of those people. These pictures were taken long after everyone had gone to bed, I would begin after midnight and go until 4 or 5 in the morning. I stopped at sunrise, like a vampire... I never really thought anyone would ever see these pictures, they went into shoeboxes, where they remained. I did everything, I was the stylist, the makeup artist, the furniture mover, the lighting director. It was my joy, I was the model...” – Nicks explained.
