Around this time, Dylan was womanizing up a storm. (All in the name of art, of course.) One of his many flings was British soul singer Dana Gillespie (left), who recalled, "I guess he was juggling women, like most musicians." Gillespie remembered an episode in which Dylan borrowed her pants and left her in his hotel room: "I was stuck in my underwear because he had taken my trousers. He could fit into mine, but I couldn't fit into his. I had to sit in the hotel waiting for him to come back. He said, ‘I'll only be a few hours.' It was about fifteen hours before he came back." But she liked him anyway: "He's amusing, he's spiritual. Women prefer to be seduced by a brain than bullock. Brains go a hell of a long way."

One of Dylan's more high-profile connections in this period was with Edie Sedgwick (right). Sedgwick was infatuated with Dylan, while Dylan was leery of the world of celebrity represented by Andy Warhol and warned Sedgwick away away from her association with the artist. While Dylan later said that his relationship with Sedgwick had not been sexual, his hit "Just Like a Woman" was widely interpreted to be about her. With its references to "fog, amphetamine and pearls," it does seem to evoke the doomed socialite. "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," a satirical snip at a fashionista, is also said to have been inspired by Sedgwick.
