The Purple Place
 

Is it acceptable to go around the Stevie Nicks forum constantly spouting your wishes to mate with the great Nicks? Or if not to mate, then just your unconditional attraction to her, despite not giving any time to get to know her music or other, non-hotness qualities. That seems to be the absolute norm in this forum so I wondered whether or not the one who is more publicly recognized for being attractive, is allowed to be treated as an object anywhere near as much as the unpopular, freak of the band is. Perhaps the forum in question is the proper place to go to ask, but I'm frightened.

"He is truly a GORGEOUS individual, and though that comment applies to his hot looks, it's really more aimed at LB as a whole!" - GarboSpeaks!

At least she tries to lead us to believe she likes more than his hotness. That's something.


All these are just from one thread. You try to convince any regular Ledgie that any of these aforementioned people are Lindsey fans and not dedicated chiffon heads. Go on. You will not be successful. Just face it, Ambah. Sesly. Nanny, nanny, nanny.

I gave you the challenge of trying to convince regular Ledgies that they are actual Lindsey fans and not dedicated chiffon heads. What more do you want from me, woman?

Wow.
 

Well, everyone knows I'm not a chiffonhead. I'm a Buckhead. LOL I'm gonna post anyways.

I didn't even know what Lindsey looked like when I first heard his music, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised when I saw his pic. ;) Lindsey is hot on his own, but when he plays live or I put on headphones and really listen to his singing, he's the most beautiful person in the world to me at that moment. :)

barf.

on any thread about (non)-appreciation of looks.

barf barf barf.

Why I think it's splended! Wether you wanna bang Stevie, bang Lindsey, have Steve and Lindsey bang each other, or any type of banging combination including the two, what it all comes down to is record sales. They sell records and we get to enjoy them! So maybe I don't know anything about guitars or music techniques, what I do know is that when he's on stage the top buttons of his soft white shirt are undone as to get a glimpse of the glistening sweat beads forming on his warm tan chest, the dark curls on his head moving and swaying with the music induced thrust of his body, the way his fingers powerfully roam about the strings of that guitar as if he were charging them on a full attack upon every inch of a womans body, the way he stands out of breath after playing, his chest gasping for air in and out in and out as though it were about to bust through that sweat drenched white shirt at any moment, and his eyes a peircing color blue so deep one slight glance from them could bring you to your knees........

Any who, based on that you can bet I'll be first in line to purchase his new works, hell, he could come out with a pan flute album and I'd buy that. Perhaps when I do next in line to me will be a strictly music appreciator, and perhaps we could nod at eachother as if to say "Thankyou friend" because with out eachother, neither of us would be there.

Jesus....Lindsey Buckingham is the most disgusting thing I have ever seen in my life. Just the very thought of looking at him makes me want to stick my finger down my throat and barf up my cheerios. Happy?

The question was not implying that people should not fawn over him, but was about the purple place, and what behavior is acceptable over there. Amber's comments got us a little off track and onto me trying to prove that chiffon heads come over to drool over him, and don't care nearly as much about his tunes. Don't let her get to you too.

the purple section of the boards is the easiest one, no special tactic qualities are needed there, unlike the blue section, or (god forbid!!!) the green section (brrr.....).
in the purple section everything goes, you can ridicule stevie's stage persona, laugh at sales figures or some of her not-so-good materials, or state your mind about her appearance, whether you find it desirable or not.
maybe it's due to the fact that the purple ones are less likely to suffer form inferiority complexes.

Oooohhh! LOL! I see now. Well I say travel to the purple place, be brave BoBo. That is where you will find the answers you seek. May the chiffon be your guide and your fro be fluffed with spirit of adventure.

Great post...kudos to you. :lol:

Best. Post. Ever.

Whewwwww (mops brow)

First off - LuckyCharms - WOAH BABY. You go!

No joke. Some Lindsey fans are way too uptight, always trying to judge fellow fans. I'm not just referring to Bobo here. He's not the first and he won't be the last. At least his was quasi-humorous. I think it's not so much an inferiority bit as it is taking pride in one's fandom as somehow more special because it is not as widely shared. Therefore, some fans deem themselves gatekeepers of this special fandom, condeming those who 1) post too shallowly regarding Lindsey 2) post something about Lindsey that is not musically oriented 3) post about Lindsey's relationship with Stevie 4) post something Lindsey perhaps would not approve of (as intepreted by the critic). I'm sure I'm missing a few but those are the main ones.

I say - lighten up.

P.S. I haven't been cruising this forum as much anymore. I just realized the posts Bobo referenced came from a picture thread. I see now why he is so puzzled. Everyone knows photos of Lindsey should be appreciated in a purely musical way. We can admire the curve of his guitar, its lovely strings. If he is not holding one, we can find other ways to comment on the photo's quality without bringing up appearance. We can comment on how aesthetically pleasing the contrast of black and white is in some, or how the nice blue hues of another match his eyes (in a purely non-lustful way, of course). There, that's not so hard, is it?

So you honestly believe that picture threads are the only place that the chiffon heads come over and drool? Obviously, a picture thread is the best place for me to find over-exaggerated posts that are rather sexual in nature. And that particular picture thread was very long by blue place standards. I mentioned that they were all from just one thread, so that was my out. But anyone who visits the blue place with any regularity knows it is not only in picture threads where this behavior occurs. You gave yourself your own out by saying you don't come here much anymore, so I cannot judge your ignorance. And yet again, I will reinforce that notion that this thread is not about scolding people for ignoring his music and constantly bringing up their wishes to mate with him, but about wondering whether or not the same behavior is acceptable in the purple place.

I don't know what the hell anyone is talking about.

Though the whole thing does in truth annoy me, I will again reiterate that this thread is not about the objectification of Lindsey Buckingham. I am not trying to change the use of this section of the forum by forbidding those certain people from entering. It might save many a Lindsey fan some time and eye-rolling to not have to read those posts, but that is not my place to decide what the chiffon heads do with their posting ability. So while I am a bit concerned and I would act as a humanitarian if I felt myself worthy, I am not doing that at this time.

Hehe
 

Just wanted to say that calling that "The Purple Place" and this "The Blue Place" cracks me the frick up. :laugh:

I'm against the giant rush of the chiffon heads over to the blue place purely to whistle and bark at Lindsey, for sure. And it is a worthy cause. Although it should stay out of this thread, since there was already a seperate reason for the thread. The debate of free speech vs. annoyed Shut Us Down lovers is far too alluring to exist within a thread about something else and have the original question still be answered. Everyone saw how many posts consisted of people defending the rights of those who wish to come in occasionally to drool. And they came from simply misinterpreting the original post. I am eager to find out what the reaction will be when there is a whole thread devoted to harshly scolding and mocking the droolers. Oh maybe I should just give up the fight of keeping this thread on course and encourage the inevitable.

Crocheting, racquetball, and playing pinochle, are all good hobbies.
You know, if anyone's looking for one.

lindsey ooozes SEX
and that will never change

I was thinking of Pinochle myself..:lol:

Ni e. Now that's exactly how I feel

personally, I have not found Lindsey "hot" since the 80's, tho I preferred his 70's look. my one comment was purely for perv value. only because he was obviously posing for perv value. (the pool/guitar as bathing suit pic)
I happen to like his music (I think the man's a freakin Genius) but I actually find Stevie's music easier to listen to. Sometimes her phrasing gets to me, how she doesnt actually fit into any set rhythm....and she makes the music fit her lyrics which is a bit unusual but she's managed to find artists/producers who will work with her, so good for her :)

I have to say, me neither...


Except this bit, of course. This speaks to me!;

A_men_, sister!


Anyway, this thread seems rather judgemental. I think everyone here is more or less, or should be more or less, equal, as we are all Fleetwood Mac fans under Fleetwood Mac. And if some of us find this is the only place to drool over Il Buckingham without getting nasty comments from people who only hear "56 years old" or "afro" or something, then that should be OK, and they can all talk to each other, and then people who want to talk about deep musical issues, and treat a band as purely something that doesn't need _people_, with the sole function of making music, can all talk to each other too. And there'll probably be time when we can _all_ talk to each other, and times for middle ground and all that. But as far as I know, no one's forcing anyone to read anything.
