anonymous asked: Got any from Stacia of Hawkwind? Talk about psychedelic thickness
At 6'2″ in body paint and makeup Stacia Blake was said to be incredible presence at Hawkwind shows. She attended a show and, inspired by the music, got on stage and performed an impromptu dance to the band’s music. She immediately became an integral part of the live show after joining in 1971.
According to a 1974 interview in Penthouse, Stacia was six feet tall and “happily bisexual.” She regularly augmented her visual impact by performing topless or nude, her body decorated in iridescent or luminescent paint. Lemmy described her as 6 ft 2 inches tall with a 52 inch bust and a book binder by trade.
Stacia regarded what she did with the band as interpretive dance, and was an integral part of the early to mid-1970s Hawkwind show. She left Hawkwind in 1975. Her departure, along with that of Lemmy (who went on to form Motörhead) and Robert Calvert, signaled the end of an era.
Stacia is currently a fine artist working in Ireland.
