There is no need to be snarky and condescending. Not everyone knows every little thing possible about this band. Chill.

Thanks. I had to laugh at this...I've followed this band for all of my adult life and have never heard that name before (not that I recall anyway).

This is the comment I was thinking about.

It is amazing, I keep thinking one of these days someone is just going to grab one of my skirts and pull me right off of the stage and nobody ever does that. Know first of all that I'm a whole lot tougher than they think. And that the platform boots I wear would not be comfortable in their face and the tambourine that I'm usually carrying would not be comfortable around their neck, so they have a respect for my ability to fight for myself. So in the long run they don't want to do that. They want me look at them and remember them and I want to look at them and I want to remember them and they know that. So we have a serious mutual kind of admiration for society going on. So that's probably what has made the bad parts, as it says, the parts that weren't a breeze, good or at least acceptable.

I know that was a long time ago, but I doubt that she is afraid of her fans, even when they get zealous. Whether she's right or wrong, I think she thinks she or the people around her can handle them. They probably make her mad when she thinks they have crossed the line or been rude, more than they make her afraid.

Well, also, when a fan jumps on stage, she tends to think they're a ghost.

I never knew Margi designed any of Christine's stage clothes... I learn something new about this band every day! Certainly explains the dowdy pantsuits Christine has worn onstage for the past 30 years.

I hope she doesn't put Stevie in those awful carpal tunnel looking black gloves. I loathe those. They aren't elegant or flattering at all.

I loved Christine's outfit during The Dance. The red jacket was royalty. A tad matronly, but it works for her.

I loved Stevie's Mirage outfits. Spot on..

I thought Christine looked the best during the Tusk shows and the Tango in the Night shows.

Nobody wears a pair of jeans better than Christine.

But they ARE for carpal tunnel -- or whatever it is that is ailing Stevie.

I don't have anything against the health related attire, even when it's ugly. I do have something against the top with the holes at the shoulders though. I think it makes Stevie's arms look unflattering.

Like here's an L. A. Times mention of it from 1987 and I know there was one particular top that Margi made several replicas of for Christine, Christine liked it so much.

For her band's new video, "Seven Wonders," Fleetwood Mac's Christine McVie needed something to wear. So she called Margi Kent in her Melrose Avenue studio and ordered up an outfit. Kent styled a show-stopper top in beaded black and a pair of velvet pants. It was one of three outfits Kent made for Ms. Mac, Listen hears from Sharon Weisz of the band's office. It was part of a busy week. After McVie, Anita Baker went to see Kent, desperately seeking something to wear for a TV appearance. For her, Weisz says, Kent crafted a beaded riding jacket of pink lace to wear over a matching dress. For good measure, the designer added a pair of matching custom-made bracelets.

Now I feel bad, that's very painful and I did not know she had that.
