"When Hendrix came into her life, all that changed. He wasn’t a womaniser then, she says, not until later on. But he fell head-over-heels in love with Lithofayne. She, in turn, nurtured his talent, validated his ambitions. “Folks say that we lived together,” she says. “I don’t feel like we lived together, but I would stay for maybe a few weeks at a time and I’d get my knees in the breeze.” He had it in mind they were a couple. She maintained she’d never had a boyfriend, never been anybody’s girlfriend, and wasn’t about to start now. “My mother even told Jimi, ‘Pay Faye no mind because she falls in and out of love every week.’ And I did, I loved that love rush.” But her relationship with Hendrix was different. “This might sound crazy to you, but he was almost like my baby,” she says. “He was a sweetheart and it’s as simple as that.” But Jimi, she says, so young and in love, was also “insanely jealous”. She has an extraordinary collection of love letters from him, written in florid, lyrical prose – the same style later evident in his lyrics – that prove without a shadow of a doubt the intensity of his infatuation; an intensity that scared her. “As I write more and more, I feel myself grow so very weak under the power of you,” he wrote in one. For all her talk of being a “loose lady”, Lithofayne is clearly a romantic at heart; one who sought from the men she knew a love that was pure and uncomplicated by jealousy, disaffection and possessiveness; a love that swept her off her feet, but also a love that left her to be free. “I wanted to continue seeing Jackie and Sam and Willie,” she says. “I didn’t think about it in terms of, ‘I’m your old lady.’ I wasn’t anybody’s old lady.” She loved them all equally and unreservedly. “That was the problem,” she says. Jimi couldn’t handle that. “He adored her, to the point of distraction,” Winona Williams says of Hendrix. “You always want what you can’t have. And he had her but he didn’t have her exclusively, and that drove him up the wall.” One time Lithofayne recalls, he even said to her, albeit jokingly: “I’d like to freeze you in a cake of ice, thaw you out when I want to, if that was possible, huh?” “Stop talkin’, crazy,” she replied. “He talked crazy.”
