I'm not going into detail about where I found this, but I thought you guys would appreciate it.

Thanks for sharing. She looks like an attractive semi-older lady. Very normal!

I think the last time I saw her was that weird plastic surgery thing she did for tv. Looks like they did decent work.

Yes, she looks very normal here and her skin looks natural, not taut, pulled and implanted. For the Discovery Health special, she looked very artificial. They showed us the process she went through and the "after" didn't look that good. But now she looks fine. In the special, as she obsessed over old, younger images of herself, she seemed like she was on the road to being one of those people who was addicted to surgery, but she definitely doesn't have that "almost Joan Rivers" look here.

Thanks for posting, Dani.

Why make it a point to say that you aren't going to mention where you got it, knowing that that will only spark more curiosity?

She looks very good, if that's actually her. I may be one of the few fans who enjoyed her book and actually does not think negatively of her. Hope she's found some happiness in her life and is doing well.

I enjoyed the book, in a certain way. Michele

I feel the same way.

I knew the question would come up and I wanted to establish that I wasn't going to give that information out before people bothered to ask. Like you, I don't really have anything against Carol Ann, and because of that I'm respecting her privacy while also giving you guys a rare glimpse of her life post-Buckingham.

I loved it because I took it with a grain of salt. I think that's the key with Storms.

I enjoyed the HELL out of her book! :nod: It was just plain old trashy fun. :D I don't really have feelings either way on Carol. I have to say, I do get very annoyed when people automatically dismiss her, though. After all, she was there for the real thing and none of us were. Even if she was a bit nuts, she's got far more cred than ANY of us. Something else to keep in mind: EVERYONE in the Fleetwood Mac circle (including the band members themselves) were also completely insane back in the day. I am not saying Carol should be viewed as a holy figure, but I'm just saying that I really don't think she was any less credible or crazier than anyone else in that era. Meaning, Carol's recollections of that era of FM are just as valid to me as Stevie's, for instance.

Couldn't agree more. Carol's bad comments about Stevie and Lindsey are based on her own distaste, much like Stevie says iffy things about others for her own reasons.

I really didn't feel she said bad things about Lindsey so much as Stevie. She basically painted Stevie as a dimwitted airhead. I mean, it's all to be taken with a grain of salt, as you said. But many of the things that were "negative" about Lindsey were her detailing incidences between them (that may or may not have, or may have happened in a slightly different way) that took place. Other than that, she seems to praise his "genius" and raves on about his looks and the moments between them. In the end, there's a bit of a bittersweet conclusion. I don't really think she necessarily shows distaste towards Lindsey, but maybe that's just me. :)

I think she goes out of her way to take shots at Stevie out of good ol jealousy. She mentions the way she dresses and how she cant compete with it. Also the weird concert thing when she thought guys in the audience were screaming cause she jokes Stevie lost her top or something but it was really for her, Carol. There are a lot of things in the book that suggest she thought she was competing with Stevie somehow. For all the crap she gives her in the book in the end she is like I would hope she and I are friends. If Stevie ever bothered to read it (doubt it, if she and Lindsey did read it they showed a lot of restraint to never comment on it.) she is probly like dont think so biatch.

Yeah if Lindsey really did the things she said, I agree she let him off pretty easy.

Quite a few of the incidents concerning Lindsey occurred when other people were around to witness them, according to CAH. But did any of these people ever come forward and say "no, this never happened"?

I loved her book and ended up liking her which surprised me. She seemed to have a much warmer personalilty than certain others within the FM bubble. And if she comes over as being self-obsessed - well, weren't they all? And it is her story!

And even if parts of her story (whether little or big parts) aren't true, she did seem to care about, and look after, Lindsey when nobody else was giving a s**t about him - and I hope that part is true because at least he had somebody who gave a damn!

As for what happened between Carol Ann and Lindsey, I just always keep in mind that when people are doing copious amounts of drugs and drinking as well, they are not going to act how they normally would have.

...unless she's not smiling...

Exactly right - which resulted in far too many "lost" years.

Is she the one on the left or right?

Hehe, just being silly!

She looks pretty good I suppose.

Lindsey certainly goes for a certain type of woman - could it possibly be that he loves the blondes? :rolleyes:

^

Also, this looks nothing like the CAH I've seen in any other pics, is it really her? Looks more like an "older" Kristen IMO.

I liked her book also. I think she used an impossible amount of direct quotes and she whined a lot but I do believe some of the things she wrote about Stevie...about her being not so nice and trying to intimitate her and picking on her. I don't believe Stevie was always nice and sweet back then...sure she was an airy fairy hippie chick but I think she knew she could treat people any kind of way she wanted to...because she was Stevie Nicks. She could get back at Lindsey by trying to make his GF feel less than.
Honestly, I like to hear stories about Stevie being mean, or downright spiteful to folks...it helps me relate to her more....cause lord knows I've been caddy to my ex boyfriends new girlfriends just as a way to get back at them....even if I didn't want the at all. :distress:

respecting privacy is NOT posting her picture on a message board. :confused:

It's her-- I know that for sure.

That's what I was thinking when I saw the picture for the first time.


Agreed :)

i was supposed to be reading "storms" right now but SOMEONE forgot to bring it..........


luv you anyway Amlyn lmao!

oh and............she's looks very "normal". way betta than............

nevermind........

Well, once you've read it, let us know what you think - it seems to be either a "love it" or "hate it" book. Or rather, perhaps, either a "like CAH" or "dislike CAH" feeling.

It's really hilarious all the way thru' and really rather sweet as well. Some of the tales she tells about Lindsey when he's in a mischievous frame of mind are side-splittingly funny I think.

Hahaha...yeah, i need to get it to you one of these days....

Hmmmm...... in that case we could analyse for ever and a day just what was going through LB's mind when he met Kristen :nod:

Really, other than the incident at Christine's where her hair got stuck in the car window, none of them happened in front of other people. Christine was the only witness. Carol said she was at a club and they saw Elvis Costello, but the incident in the car happened when they were alone, not at the club. She said that the people at the club were telling her what a sweet, attentive boyfriend she had -- not realizing that he wanted to strangle her, rather than caress her. So, in public, the conduct was interpreted as loving. Most everything else occurred while she and Lindsey were alone. Although she said she told other people, like Sara.

:lol:

:eek:


:laugh:

Wasn't there also a time when Lindsey was, to delicately put it, "taken ill" in a hotel and everyone was sort of just wandering in and out of the room or just stood around and generally being more concerned about what was going to happen with the band?

Forgive me if I haven't got this totally correct, I'm just trying to pull it from memory!

I believe that was the seizure incident that CAH mixed the facts up on...but since she can't be expected to remember anything (or hire a decent editor) who's keeping track? ;)

I agree with the others who've posted that it looks nothing like cah to me. The photos of her on the back cover of the book? I can't reconcile the two. I recall her having a rounder shaped face and eyes and this photo is so much more angular.

Really? Looks like her to me... :shrug:
