14 years ago our dear Sabel passed away in her sleep. Her friends, family, and admirers remember her dearly. She was a "sun worshipper", as her lovely daughter said, and I can only think of her as the light that shines on the entire room. That's why everybody loved her. A true Leo queen, for those who believe in astrology. She was fire and still is to this day.

Why Do We Love…
Charlotte Martin
Our series "Why Do We Love..." published on each muse's birthday are getting to an end, and French former model and artist Charlotte Martin is next!
[Charlotte Martin in 1967 by Robert Whittaker. Sent to us by lovely Kana from Japan for our Family Zepp site, remember?]
We first new about Charlotte when one of us created a website called Family Zepp on piczo back in the day, remember that? We were teenagers and we loved Led Zeppelin, but unlike The Beatles, there weren't any sites for the girls or the children, so one of us started and we became familiar with the names of Maureen and Carmen Plant, Sabel Starr, Lori Mattix ... and Charlotte!
[Charlotte in 1969 by Barry Lategan]
Truth to be told, we had to do a real detective job with Charlotte, because it was said that she was a 1960s supermodel, but unlike Pattie Boyd, we couldn't find anything! And, like her, she had a relationship with Eric Clapton, before having one with Jimmy Page.
[Charlotte and Eric in 1967, by Robert Whittaker]
We also learnt that she had a short relationship with Beatle George Harrison, but never was included anywhere as a "Beatlegirl". Little by little we found (sometimes with a little help from our friends) more and more Charlotte information and photos, including modelling pics, but in every pic she looked different, so we weren't sure if it was her or not!
[For years these were the only Charlotte pics on the net we could find, early 1970s, late 1970s and 1980s...]
Little by little we learned she was on The Beatles "All You Need is Love" video or in Led Zeppelin's "The Song Remains the Same" film, so we took screencaps of her, to build our collection for the Family Zepp website!
[Left, 1967 "All you need is Love", sitting between Paul McCartney -not shown- and John Lennon. Right, with her baby daughter Scarlet Page in a cameo in "The Song Remains the Same". Our caps]
But we think most of the photos we found came after, maybe thanks to tumblr and later (recently) instagram. We found amazing blogs like Liz Eggleston/Miss Peelpants who find the greatest and rarest Charlotte pics and share them with us all. So we could see Charlotte's beauty and talent once and for all!
[Three of the numerous of modelling Charlotte scans that Liz Eggleston/Miss Peelpants shares in her blog, go and follow her!]
[One of the typical images of Charlotte... thanks to tumblr and instagram we could find out the date and occasion! The 1967 Legalize Cannabis Rally at London's Speaker's Corner]
[Left, another Beatles' connection! Modelling The Fool for The Apple boutique in 1968. Right, Charlotte shared her 1969 modelling image on her instagram]
We respect Charlotte for never selling her stories of the times she spent with The Beatles, Eric, Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin... even if we'd like to know all the details!
[Charlotte, Jimmy, and their daughter, photographer Scarlet, in a Scarlet photography exhibition in 2007. Charlotte is in good terms with both Eric and Jimmy.]
Nowadays she is a very successful artist and painter, and you can see her creating her work on her website or the numerous exhibits she's done.
[Charlotte in 2017 with one of her paintings, from her website]
Today, for her 75th birthday, we wanted to share with all of you, dear followers, how we knew about Charlotte and what made us love her.
Here we share:
