Stevie's assistant, Karen.
 

Do y'all know what Karen looks like? Do we have pictures of her or something? I vaguely remember seeing her in the Destiny Rules doc. Is she someone that we should like? And how long has she seen Stevie's assistant? And what does assistant mean anyway? Does she live with her?

I heard a couple people say a long time ago that Karen was kinda rude or snippy or something. Just curious....at 12:45 am...cus there's NOTHING else I could be doing, like sleeping or anything like that.

Karen's job is to do most everything Stevie would otherwise have to do herself, and/or be the firewall between her and her fans. Its with this in mind that its no surprise that she has come off as rude to fans of Stevie.

Stevie couldn't care less about fans' letters, teddy bears, artwork, stories, etc- I can't blame Karen for barely mustering any kind of acknowledgment to fans. She's just doing her job. I can't imagine just how insane of a job it would be. I once turned down a personal assistant gig for a high maintenance A-list comic based out of LA (who wants to move to LA?) , and I imagine that would have been a cakewalk compared to half the **** Karen has to deal with.

Yes. I've seen her. She seems to be very no nonsense. I imagine you would have to be to do that job. I'm sure it has its' perqs though.

Quite a while. Before Karen, there was her sister Kelly (?). Kelly got busted taking a "care package" over to England during the making of TOSOTM. I'm not sure as far as the timeline of when Kelly exited and Karen took over.


According to Stevie, she isn't living in the 1 bedroom penthouse in Santa Monica. She may have lived in some of Stevie's larger homes. I doubt Stevie is alone very often if at all. She usually has some friends living with her.

I don't know if she's really living in that condo or not. She did her early interviews and photoshoots for the Unleashed tour from the big Southern style mansion.

Tired...

and how do you know this?

[QUOTE=JohnL;826862]Unless he knows La Nicks very well, he couldn't and, therefore, doesn't. It seems he's just stirring the shiittee just like he was when he said that La Nicks' comparing being in FM to being in Iraq was an insult to the soldiers fighting in Iraq :rolleyes:

And, for the record, I know several people whose cards, bears, etc. she's acknowledged and even called them later about. So, I have first hand knowledge that she does care even though she may not acknowledge all of them that way. How could she?

In the end and to me, LukeA (who is still I believe kind of young) is either careless in his use of adjectives (etc.) or he used them to incite. To these and many others' ears they are rarely accurate in a literal sense.

He does, however, seemingly have a working knowledge of the way concerts are booked etc. And, that is pretty cool.

[QUOTE=strandinthewind;826866]Agreed. I know first hand that Stevie DOES care about her fans and what they take time to give her.
As far as Karen goes, a friend of mine that knows both of them put it in a nutshell - Karen is Stevie's "Purse". :p

I would give my pinky toe for Karen's job

Karen is a major hottie!

Well, she has curly dark hair :rolleyes: It's something we know from the DR dvd :)

I'm pretty sure you can see her in one of the pics from the Landslide Slideshow (Landslideshow?) from the Soundstage DVD, but you'd probably have to know what she looks like to notice.

In DR she even has a speaking role, during one of Stevie and Lindsey's thrilling , heated discussions about lawyers and record companies. :laugh:

That was so hilarious. Stevie kept saying, "you know that Karen is dead honest."

Lindsey didn't look like he knew that! Michele

Yeah, haha, she did keep saying that. I was like...ok ok, Karen is honest, and what? Lindsey never acknowledged that comment. That part is so hilarious to me on the dvd. But I'd have to say my most favorite Stevie moment from DR is when Lindsey is talking to her about "Thrown Down" and trying to get her to change the tense of a word and she just keeps saying "..but it's how I write, it's the way I write, it's the POE T that I am.." lol. I love it...Stevie...our little poet. But whats funny to me is the way Lindsey is trying to be very careful about the way he is talking to her, but she gets kinda defensive quickly. I love it, haha.

Just had to fix that :p

Wow....I see we know it word for word...I better brush up on my DR doc so that I am up with everyone else. Haha. You guys are intimidating. lol. I love it though.
