Who is Iggy?

uh.........


i don't know

Iggy was an Eskimo girl who Syd shagged the night before the pictures were taken for the cover of 'The Madcap Laughs'. That's why she's naked on the cover.

Iggy the Eskimo was reported to be a model and was a frequent visitor at the Earl's Court flat where Syd lived. She was another of the many Syd girlfriends from those days. She evidently liked to walk around naked.

If you buy Mick Rock's book with the whole photo session (that is a NICE ass on that woman!!!), you get this write-up which briefly mentions her:

And she's only half-Eskimo. Looks half-Japanese to me, as well.

Iggy's the girl on the Madcap Laughs cover (came round to Syd's flat (where the photo shoot was) naked apparently)......

caption in that photo says the girl in the garden (Cambridge) is Mick Rock's girlfriend......

Actually, the girl in the photos is Sumi, Pete Jenner's wife. So the search for Iggy goes on .....

I saw that book, yeah its got her in there alright.

This is what wiki had to say.......

"The nude woman appearing on the inside record sleeve was Syd Barrett's girlfriend who was part Inuit and known as Iggy The Eskimo. [1] "When I arrived for 'The Madcap Laughs' photo session, Syd was still in his underpants... His lady friend of two weeks, 'Iggy the Eskimo' was naked in the kitchen..."
