Stevie Question...
 

I hate to go on about the weight thing, because honestly her weight doesn't matter to me. She discusses her weight loss often, and her doing the Atkins diet and all...but my question, is...is she really any smaller now than she was in 1994? I don't think so...maybe she did lose some before the dance, but she seems to me to be about the same size now as she was then...but why is it diff now? And why doesnt it bother her as much now I wonder? And why is the media less focused on it now??

Pictures to ponder :

Buy or borrow a few of Ed W. books (ie, Lady of The Stars, etc) and you'll see Stevie was MUCH heavier than she is now. She's lost a lot of weight since that time. She's no means slim (sometimes the reviews one reads make one think she's so thin she's disappearing!, but she's feeling fitter and apparently exercises daily. More power to her.

Hey, I hadn't seen that red carpet one!
But a few reviews have said something about it recently, but you're right, not nearly as many. I think people are more used to it now. Last time it was like, hey, last time we saw you you were youngish and skinny, suddenly you poofed up! Where as now, she has already been poofed up. Yeah, I think she's about the same, too. I also think that she was thinner a few years ago - probably touring it is harder to stick to your regimen. When i saw her live, she looked fairly ample, in a sexy, lush, decadent, my boobs are big way.

Yes but the time she claims she was her biggest (1993) she looks the same as she is now...I think she was her biggest probably 91 - 92

Speaking from my personal opinion, Stevie lost a LOT of weight by the time The Dance rolled around and even more by the time she went out on the Enchanted tour. There are some points in The Dance (specifically during Gold Dust Woman) where she looks like the skinny California chick from yesteryear. On the current tour, I think she has put on a bit of weight (not a whole lot), but that's probably from going through menopause. I can certainly understand that and I could care less what size she is, personally. :D

PS: I also think that her shoulderpads and Frankenboks make her look heavier than she really is.

Yeah, I wish she would wear tighter, or less voluminously layered clothes, sometimes. Although, i wouldn't wish the regular platforms she used to wear upon anybody, comfort wise :eek:

Wow, she doesn't look healthy in that photo at all. Her skin is white as snow and looks haggard and tired. I think she's considerably bigger in that photo than she is now. :sorry:

Exactly. She looked bigger in '94 than she really was because she layered so much on herself. Sorry, but when you've gained a bit of weight, the alst thing you do is pile clothes on top of yourself in an effort to conceal it. It only makes you look bigger than you are.

:nod: I could use thinner skirts from her. and less shouldery things. Her bodice looked real good this tour, though. Nice and snug, with ample cleavage :laugh: She never really showed her legs too much, but she kinda did.

That's what drove me nuts with Stevie: she never showed any leg. :lol: From the footage of the Behind the Mask tour where she wore a mini, she had nice legs. Or at least where less baggy skirts.

But, I've been saying that I'd like her to come out onstage wearing what she wore in the Bootylicious video, but that'll never happen. :laugh: She was smokin' in that video!

We need to get Stevie to Saks, doll!

I think she looks good and healthy in that picture compared to this one..... she's got GREY HAIR!!!!! i wonder if she'd have that skunk stripe in the middle if she let it grow out...

She's lost a ton of weight since 94... and she continued right up until the end of The Dance tour... Take a look at her (if you have it) when they played the Grammies... Or take a look at her on Letterman singing HAEWAFY for 1998 Enchanted... Those are examples of when she was her lightest.

From that point on... It's slowly crept back up a bit... but I think, like someone said, she's in better shape and her body is going to do what it wants at this point... and if she's had hip problems limiting her movement... that's enough to cause anyone from being mobile and putting on a few... plus it's harder to lose and maintain the older you get.. metabolism isn't so great later in life.

But she looks great!!

Yeah, I kind of like the red carpet one. She looks natural. When I saw True Spin, I was like, uh oh, cause she kind of finally had that plasticky, botox, plastic surgery thing. :sorry: I can't believe she actually went out with that much gray showing! :D NOT very diva like!
AMber

She was definately her thinnest during the Enchanted Tour....Have you seen STORYTELLERS? Wow, her waist looked good. I dunno why she says black is slimming....That red-like dress she wore during her acoustic set made her look really good.


I agree with everyone....quit wearing black dresses that focus on your butt and stomach.

I like that one too...glad to see her break it out again on this tour...I must say she still looks good in it
