Alexandra Richards, the 23-year-old daughter of Rolling Stones wildman guitarist Keith, has embarrassed her dad by posing nude for the latest issue of French Playboy. Well, almost nude. She does sport a pair of white converse sneakers in the raunchy shots. You can see the pictures here.

It's understood that Pa Richards is not best pleased. But Alexandra is hardly the only Rolling Stone child to have bared all for the camera. In fact, most of the Stones' kids can barely keep their clothes on. Elizabeth Jagger has posed topless, as has sister Georgia (aged 17). Theodora Richards has posed nude, and Jade Jagger loves nothing more than an Ibizan frolic in what English schhoolgirls used to call "the noddy."

What is going on? Is all this exhibitionism an attempt to get dad's attention or live up to his reputation for hell raising? Are they competing with each other? Or is it all in the genes?

Whatever the reason, can dad rein in his spirited daughter? Hardly. Richards is not an exemplary example of fatherhood. After bandmate Brian Jones died in the 60s, the guilt-stricken guitarist numbed himself with heroin and stayed that way for a decade. Arrests in Canada and blood transfusions in Switzerland could not dissuade the guitarist from his headlong pursuit of self-destruction. Even in his dotage, he has been known to favour "a little taste" of the dark stuff.

It's hard to imagine Keith, the human riff, laying down the law to his errant, though shapely, daughters. These girls are clearly no longer under his thumb.

Be honest. Was the point of this article to post nude pictures of this person while pretending to have some interesting angle? The title (that the father was shocked) is contradicted by the article.

I'm so glad men are so enthralled by the female body. If only women really knew the power we hold just because of the package we're in, we would rule the world.

Keith Richards is embarrassed after his own behavior the past millenia? How does that happen?
03:26 PM on 07/01/2010
First of all if she's 23 years old, she's not going to be under his thumb. Also how does a heroin addiction that ended a decade before she was born automatically make him a bad father?

I don't know if Keith is embarrassed or not, but those pics were beautiful. So refreshing to see a young women who hasn't destroyed her body with silicone, and is not earth shattering skinny. Such a better body image than what is presented by the reality "stars" such as Heidi M or the real (puke) housewives. I would much rather my daughter emulate Alexandra Richards than just about anyone foisted on her by Hollywood, although I wouldn't appreciate the posing in the nude. :)

I seriously doubt that Keith Richards is embarrassed by these photos, and only the very prudish viewer would call the photos "raunchy."

In summation; pretty girl, lame article.

That's what I was going to ask. She actually turned out to be a very lovely women, and considering that Keith is her dad, the odds were not in her favor.

It's not that big of a deal to pose nude for a mag. Senator Brown did that and no one seems to think that was bad, unless you count the people who permanently lost their eyesight on viewing his magazine cover. ^_^ If it's ok for senators to pose nude, being a daughter of a rock n roll star seems inconsequential. Besides, if she is European, it isn't uncommon for people to go au natural on the beach.

Gotta love Keith. I take offense to the term "drug dustbin", Andy. Mr. Richards is still a functioning musician, unlike say Sid Vicious, who is neither functioning, a musician, nor alive. THAT could be a good example of the clever term.

Amusing. However, I've seen "raunchy" photos before and these three don't fit the bill. Maybe there are others that weren't fit to be viewed on Huffy or Musictoob?

Did Keith - aka CMFOTP* - tell you he was embarrassed? Or is this something you conjured up yourself? Both his girls are gorgeous and are a beautiful genetic combination of their mother Patti and Keef. Celebrate it if you got it.
