I would like to start by saying that I have a sense of humor, and some of the thing that this guy said was humorous. I just wanted to take up the issue that has been discussed on Stevie's weight and aging.


What I think most people have lost site of is the fact that Stevie is almost SIXTY years old! I think about my mother who is a year older than Stevie. She can't get around like she used to, and she doesn't look like she did in 1977. My mother was very beautiful and slim, like Stevie, but just like Stevie (even working at it her health and appearance) she has aged and gained a little weight just like most human beings. Aging is a process that happens to EVERYONE, including the people who are passing judgement on the aging of people in the spotlight. These same individuals will be growing old one day as well. I wonder if they would enjoy it if people were constantly talking and writing about how they were aging. Many of the people probably don't nor have the ever looked as good as Stevie does, even now. Therefore, I'm not sure who they are to judge other people's appearance. Are they jealous of her because she is beautiful and they aren't? Maybe, they enjoy seeing beautiful people lose some of their appearance to age, because they never had it to begin with?

People should judge Stevie at the age she is now. If you do that, you will see that she is doing VERY well for an almost SIXTY year old person. I can't think of a single person who looks at sixty like they did at twenty-five. I think Stevie looks beautiful and sounds good for her age. I, in no way, think it is fair for her to be put down because she has aged or gained a little weight. I don't see that she is HUGE, which is how a lot of people try to make her sound. If that is fat, then I hate to see their idea of skinny.
