Small things you notice about Stevie...
 

I've noticed 2 things recently: Stevie has a mole or something next to her right nostril and I think she has somewhat hairy arms, or at least did.

She can't say a sentence without throwing the words "you know" in somewhere.

...which you can especially notice on LIB. :eek:

She's right handed.... I think :)

She has the greatest SMILE:nod: :angel: :D

lol. this is true. I suffer from this affliction as well. "you know" "I mean" and "totally" are every other word with me...tho I've tried to break myself from it.

I'm a "you know" person too.

Let's see- let me think of something I've noticed about Stevie. :confused: (not confused, just thinking) Sometimes, I think her nose looks a little big, but then in other pictures, I think her features are perfect. :shrug:

She has a unique way of pronouncing the letter "H". This is long before the coke drilled a new hole in her nose. Her "H's" seem to start in the back of her throat with the movement of her tongue hitting her palate, rather than her throat just relaxing and letting out the letter "H". For instance when she sings..."I Have..." there is a phlemmy kind of sound she makes.

That she doesn't use contractions very often when she speaks. (she usually says CANNOT instead of CAN'T or WILL NOT instead of WON'T, etc.)

She often lies at the end of concerts and says "take care of yourselves and stay healthy and I'll see you next year", then doesn't come back the next year (until recently).

HMMmmm - I could go on and on... :lol:

Here's what comes to mind first -

1.) She has a pretty remarkable ablility to not get too dizzy after twirling in "Stand Back" - for example I heard she did 19 full-throttle spins in a row during one of the Las Vegas shows. I think she LOVES this and that it's way, way harder than it looks. Along those lines -

2.) She's MUCH tougher than many people think. Not just mentally, but "physically." Granted she hasn't been that way every single second of every single day over the years, but - I think the twirling thing shows that very well. YES she's dizzy - but she doesn't CARE. YES she was losing it a little and getting tired during Stand Back in "Live in Boston" - but she didn't CARE, she took it to the limit ANY-way - her attitude is, "If it hurts, it hurts - I'll take an aspirin later." And along THOSE lines -

3.) It's TOTALLY about Fleetwood Mac, now - unless it's totally about her fans, or herself. Even she herself is not really sure which comes first, sometimes, and she'll NEVER figure it out.

4.) She kinda-sorta seems to like BOOTS! :laugh: :shocked:

5.) She's actually kinda-sorta "political" without rubbing it in people's faces. She says her political opinions in between her lines. ( I know - duh! :rolleyes: )

6.) She uhmmm - gets these "memory glitches" from time to time...

7.) If it were possible, she'd have a mansion on Mars - just 'cause it would be Fabulous.

8.) She's not "ready for her close-up" - but she's making long-term plans to be.

9.) She reads a LOT.

10.) When she finds something that works, she sticks to it, without really changing much. GDW, Stand Back, you name it, we got it on the tour. Another example is her total, 100% reliance on Sulamith Wulfing's influence in her artwork. I personally think she underestimates her talent as an artist (paintings, drawings, etc.) and that it would be great if she "branched out" from S.W. and so -

11.) She's not actually all THAT much of a risk-taker.

Anyway those are my best guesses, personally. I think at least the "reading a lot" thing is probably true, for example she mentioned in "Ask Stevie" on Nicksfix that she read Wheel of Fortune, which is a REALLY long book. Oh YEAH and -

12.) She's pretty insistent that we THOUGHT we saw something... in her eyes. And she's perfectly happy with us thinking that, in fact, it THRILLS her. She LOOOOVVVVVVVVVVESSSS attention, always has, always will. :)

13.) She kinda-sorta loves nature just a whole lot but don't expect to see her at Morsan's buying a tent and Coleman's stove any time soon... :rolleyes:

14.) She was using a new kind of make-up during the "Gold Dust Tour," especially during the first part of the tour, I think. This caused her to have a certain . . . "Glow" about her face, much of the time. I'm not sure but I think this might have been something her BAND suggested she do, or at least somehow RELATED to her band! ;) :lol:

Sound about right? :shrug: :)

That was very funny.

stevie took ballet ... in ballet they teach you how to spin without getting dizzy. if you watch her when she spins, she does it like a ballerina.

OH! :shocked: Never knew. :)

I still think she's tougher than she looks, though. ;)

-She used to bite her bottom lip all the time but I haven't seen her do it very much since the early 80's. It was so cute. I wish she still did it.

-She points a lot, especially during performances (didn't her mother teach her pointing in rude?).

-She has a TON of hair, even without extensions.

-She rambles incessantly.

-She giggles like a little girl.

-She's fidgety and has a hard time sitting still.

-If you've ever met her or shook her hand during the Edge walk she makes amazingly intense eye contact and makes you feel like you're the only person in the world.

-She's 57 years old, has been through a ****load of hard times and seen the very dark side of life but still maintains a certain child-like innocense.

-This might just be me but she has large forearms for someone with such a small frame.

-She's been wearing her eye-make up the same way for years now (with that dark shadow on the crease).

-Recently her nails are always red or french manicure.

Just like Data from Star Trek: Next Generation.

She says "Thing" alot... Uses the word "Well" excessive in lyrics (which work). That's it.

Except the time she grudgingly took a stuffed animal from me during the SYW tour and practically rolled her eyes. :rolleyes:

That's because she was having a "fat" night and the stuffed animal made it worse ;).

She also says pronounces certain words in her own way i.e. drownded instead of drowning.

I LOVE the "H" sound when she sings.

She has really small bony hands.

Haha, yes. I know there's another really good example of this but I can't think of what it is right now. Along those lines, her metaphors and figures of speech sometimes come out a little mixed, too. But I don't know if they are malopropisms of sorts, or if she does it purposely. Like, "flash of an eye" instead of "blink of an eye" in Love Changes. Could be an intentional change just to make it sound a little different. But "windows, like the eyes to the soul" (as opposed to "eyes, like the windows of/to the soul") in My Heart has to be a blunder. Oh well... she knows what she means, I know what she means, it's all good.

Also, she has a deep, hearty cackle when she laughs. John alluded to this when he said "she has the dirtiest laugh of any woman I know" in one of his Q&A answers. I love it.

I kind of do too :o. Except in Destiny Rules.

She'd speak Hebrew well!

She always pronounces the letter A as a long vowel. As in cave, made, chain, etc. It's bad grammar, but I love her for it.

That she usually starts the footsie game when they're all doing their bows.

She even pronounces her long e's as long a's a lot too, as in "you see your gypsAy" instead of gypsy and "not guilty have mercAy" instead of mercy.

Just as she says A(y)way instead of A(h)way.

I was about to write the same thing. However, not *exactly* like a ballerina, but if you notice, she does do the "spot" thing you're supposed to do during turns in ballet (you fix your eyes to a certain a place and then you turn and the last thing that turns is your head. When you come back, your eyes should be fixed to the same place they were before you started turning. Spotting is supposed to eliminate the "dizzy" thing and to enhance your balance).

On the subject, I have noticed that sometimes she pronounces the "n" as if she had a cold. Maybe it's just me, but I think it is very obvious in "Dreams", the original Rumours version.

Totally, as in "you'll never get Ay-way!" instead of uh-way.

Exactly! I thought I was the only one who noticed that! (On top of her pronounciation of her "h's" - which btw - I failed to mention upthread, I do find very endearing. :)

More like too much cocaine lol.

She's copying Madonna!:laugh:

Something else, even though she has a lovely smile, she almost never laughs or smiles in interviews. And she often seems to be looking beyond the interviewer and camera.

Well, that's what I had thought too, but I guess when I was younger I hadn't realised it. Or, I didn't know coke does that:o

You're right, I've never noticed that. She probably has one or two on her ass
:laugh:.

And she rarely smiles for photo-shoots. Most of the pictures of her smiling are candid shots.

i noticed the arm hair WOOT
at least it's blonder :laugh:

it's more than that
she bores through to your SOUL baby!


she's the ONLY person who looks good with red polish hehehe
but frenchies are way more elegant.
Stevie is SO old school lol
