Bangs or no bangs????? That is the question!!!!
 

As far as Stevie's hairstyles on this tour go (the 2003 dates without bangs and the the 2004 summer dates with bangs) which did you like more?

I am going to say without bangs! I think she looks so much younger without them. I have seen some really awful (sorry) pictures of Stevie now that she has the bangs and earlier in the tour when she didn't have the bangs she seemed a lot more photo friendly! I wonder what her hair will be like after the two month break at the Atlantic City show!

Without the bangs. She looked much younger without them, in my opinion. She's gorgeous regardless what her hairstyle is, but the 2003 'do was much more flattering.

No bangs. :)

Hmmm.... Well flicking through my collection of Stevie pictures I'm hard pressed to find one of her without. So I guess I'd have to say with.... as the only pics I have of her without were taken during the "dodgy hairstyle" era. :p

I was a bangs fan at first, but last time she ditched them and I saw some pics I really started to think she's better off without them. Needless to say, she blows me away regardless, but I do think she looks younger without them.

No bangs. They make her look older. :shocked:

No bangs
 

She looks better without them.

I loved her bangs during the TISL era. They haven't looked so good in 2004. I think she might look better with a lighter bang, not as thick and straight.

I guess I'm going to be the rebel here - I think that she looks younger with bangs. Not a huge fan of the no-bangs, parted almost in the middle 'do. :shrug:

Paula

NO BANGS. She looks like she's trying to cover a brow lift when she has them.

On another note, she REALLY needs to thin out her hair, it's too thick and the color is too unnatural looking. :p

If you're going to go through the hassle of having a brow lift, why bother covering your brow with bangs 98% of the time? That'd be like wearing muumuus after a tummy-tuck. :p

My preference is *with* bangs. Many of the photos of her on stage without bangs, made her face look tired and drawn. The bangs soften her face and take years off.

I'm glad she brought them back. :)

Bangs, but well trimmed. Her face is very long, And bangs alleviates that. Member when she was younger, and those few pictures without bangs her head looked really weird?

You have to conceal it while it heals, Le Stew. ;) I certainly wouldn't want to see Stevie with her hair parted in the middle, garnished by sutchers and stitches. :laugh:

No bangs.

I hate bangs that are cut straight across like that.

I'm not completely sold on the bangs, but I do think that Paula has a point, or maybe I just started to see the light when I was gazing at her avatar. :D

I might be in the minority, but I'm crazy about the way she looks in this photo--http://www.nicksfix.com/oct12z.jpg

I like her 2004 look, all bangs and colors :)

Romy

Does ANYONE really look good WITH bangs?!?!?!
No bangs.

Usually I do like her better with bangs but I don't really like her bangs this year. So I would have to say I prefer her 2003 hairdo without bangs to her 2004 hairdo with bangs.

Well, she does -- without doubt -- look younger with no bangs. Though the bangs do add something to her overall look. I'm not sure, hmm... This is going to go down as one of those choices that I'll never be able to make in my lifetime. Right under "boxers or briefs..."

Obviously. But my point was that Stevie wore bangs for the 'Dance' tour, the 'Enchanted' tour, the 'Trouble In Shangri-La' tour, and all appearances throughout those years. And she's wearing them again.
So, that would be one majorally slow-healing brow lift, if she had to hide it for 5 years. ;)

I never said she had a brow lift, I said that wearing bangs constantly made her look like she was trying to conceal one. The bangs make her look older and no longer suit her.

:laugh: I know what you mean. I prefer Stevie with bangs too :thumbsup:

I think she looks a lot younger with the bangs. They looked kinda funny at the beginning of the 2004 US tour (and that VH1 interview) but now she looks absolutely gorgeous with them.

Has anyone seen the episode of Absolutely Fabulous where they talk about crutches, and somone dares Patsy (the blonde one) to get rid of her bangs, and she does that for like, one morning, and the next day the bangs are back? Kind of reminds me of La Nicks in 2003, we knew that wouldn't last!

I don't think I care whether she has bangs or not at this stage of the game. She'll never look good as long as she trundles across the stage in those Frankenboks.

Maybe there's a dog somewhere that will rip those things to shreds. Bring back the dog from the Tusk cover, I say!

According to Joan Rivers... who apparently knows all there is to know about youth and beauty :laugh:... Stevie needs to cut her hair short.
Because "long hair doesn't suit women of her age."

Personally, I like the way she's worn her hair since 'The Dance,' with the exception of the no-bangs look for the 2003 leg of the 'Say You Will' tour. I felt then, and I still feel when I look back at the photographs, that it weighed-down her face and wasn't a flattering look at all. :shrug:

Why do you hate them so? They're still high. She probably could barely walk at all if she had to wear the straight heels. Seriously, I think they probably greatly increase her mobility.

But Amber, they are horrendously U G L Y!!!!! She could go with a flatter shoe, but can't she choose something that's at least flattering? Ugh!

BTW, I like her better with bangs. I think she needs to chop a few inches off the length though. Her ends look a little scraggly IMO.

I totally feel that Stevie should be comfortable up on stage. Especially since it seems she's far likelier to dance and move around more, if her feet (and hip) are comfortable.
But, gosh, those frankenboks are SO dumpy.

There HAS to be some other style of shoe out there, which would give her the lift she wants while still remaining comfortable.
If not, then someone here needs to come up with something, STAT! :laugh:

:laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol: :laugh: :lol:

I choose bangs....or, if not bangs, then something else that isn't just parted down the middle and flat. THAT brings her face down.

Hmmn, I hardly notice them cause they're black and her feet are small. To me they just blend in, and i don't think they're that ugly anyway. They're just high black tennies, what's so ugly? I mean, yeah, they're not Monolos or anything, but they're also not clown shoes....

ITA - AND - every time I have seen her off stage on this tour (and there have been many :cool: ) - she is in some sort of high heel shoe or sandal (some platform esq.) - EVERYTIME!!!!!!!!!!

I say if she can haul around town in high heel shoes, she can go onstage in them :cool:

The long blonde hair is a trademark and at this stage in the game, she wouldn't look like Stevie without it. Having said that, she really needs to freshen the hair up; she wears it so matronly these days. It needs to be thinned out and layered, it needs a much better dye (it looks so fried), and she needs a curl or two to add some character to it. The way she wears it these days is rather frumpy, IMO.

I guess it's because they're just not stylish.
Stevie dresses so beautifully, and the platform boots... even when they were hopelessly out of style... always completed that look. She had that "Gibson Girl" look she was going for, with a bit of hippie-chic thrown in.

But now, she's not stylish from head to toe anymore... she's only stylish from head to mid-calf. :laugh:

She should be allowed to wear whatever she wants... and I highly doubt the footwear of any other female singer is as dissected as Stevie's... it just seems that there HAS to be something that would be both comfortable and flattering. :shrug:

In the end, it doesn't matter much... it's only footwear (I couldn't even tell you what kind of footwear Lindsey wears :sorry: ).

There are boots out there with very small heels that she could wear and would look fabulous in. They had some on QVC last night that were beige like her Gypsy boots and others that were red and black. Those Frankenboks look anyhting but uncomfortable and every time I see her waring them, it looks like she's about to topple over because they're uneven. :laugh:

I'm telling you, we need to get ahold of her and take her to Rodeo Drive. ;) :cool:

Joan Rivers shouldn't talk- she looks like she is a hundred and eight years old. And I completely disagree with her. Woman look a ton better with longer hair regardless of their age. If Stevie cut her hair she would look like a senior! I can't stand how all these old woman just give up and cut their hair like little boys. Stevie looks sexy with the long hair. I keep telling my Mom (who is in her mid 40's) grow your hair out and never cut it short like all these middle aged woman always do- it is like telling people- "My hobbys are playing bingo and going out for early bird specials". In conclusion, if Stevie cuts her hair I will scream!

I think that high heel boots and platforms make her look mucho skinny, too. :nod:

I really like the straight w/ bangs look, but I LOVE her hair in her 'Behind The Music' episode, when she's wearing it with waves. It's very similar to the look she has on the cover for the "If You Ever Did Believe" single, which I also love.

I agree that some waves would be nice, and maybe some honey-blond lowlights.

I really do think though, that these days she tends to prefer downplaying the "rock and roll beauty queen" thing. Obviously not entirely, but to a degree she's comfortable with.

I actually like the reeboks! Stevie makes them cool! I actually just got a pair of black reeboks and on some level I know it is because Stevie wears them! I am obsessed, I know!

Pretty soon you won't have to tell anyone that you're a gay man, Le Stew. :laugh: j/k

I agree with what you say, though she looks much better with curls and waves. I'm not a fan of the straight w/ bangs look because, honestly, it's very stale and tired. If I could choose a style for Stevie to stick with, it would be the style she wore her hair in on the cover for The Dance. It looked gorgeous on it, gave her some funk, and was just such a different approach that it worked. :thumbsup:
