Sorry about that guys.I missed Nicole's thread in the Rumours section about Stevie's Mirror interview myself.

So you can kick me in the a$$ with those boots in the photo.LOL..

BTW those look like work boots to me.They must feel heavy on the feet.

I don't see anything wrong with her wearing comfortable sneakers -- uh, but not that tan color

.

You know, you joke with the workboots, but look they are on trend. It would not be uncommon for a 20 year old girl to wear workboots with a nice dress today. They are fashionable now in a way that the Reeboks weren't when Stevie first started wearing them.

Well, Stevie said there was NO WAY anyone was operating on her toe. So ...

yes a few rhinestones on the front. But you know when she said "steel toe" boots this is exactly what I thought of. I don't understand resistance to surgery if it's going to help in the long run but whatever.

She tried these ones out for one show earlier in this tour, lol. They're preferable to the Frankenboks at least?

Or the Epstein Barr diagnosis that was a thing for a while, then never mentioned again? About how cocaine burned a nickel-sized hole in her septum; except it was actually the dissolved aspirin concoction she invented that did that? I could keep going, but the point being... don't listen to her, listen through her.

You're so right. She may be the Queen of Rock, but she's also just a drama queen, prone to a conflation of events and fictitious meanderings. Though she is genuine in her intent, you shouldn't take everything she says as matter of fact. Just as she sang what you quoted : "Don't listen to her, listen through her." Words of wisdom!

why does everyone assume this is a "legend" ?

the story is so ridiculous and Stevie is so "proper" [in how her image is represented out in the world] that it probably IS true.
i was barely a foetus during RAL but I don't think it's that hard to believe it to be true.
Just like the real level of her coke addiction

I am not sure why she won't just go out in a pair of regular black reeboks without the platforms. They are a very comfortable sneaker. Reeboks and lace look nice together. Converse and lace is just strange...or maybe I just don't want to have to change my Ledge user name to "converseandlace"

Why does Stevie call her platform boots "balleria boots". Wtf? There is nothing ballerina about them. I haven't seen her in ballerina attire since the music video in the 80's.

As far as her blowing a hole in her nose, its true. I blew a hole in my septum in the 80's. I had to get it fixed of course...but if you do enough blow it can happen. Every human body is different...there are people who can be hard core alcoholics their whole life and live to 90 and there are people who have liver failure by 50....every body reacts differently.

I blame YouTube. Stevie's aware that every performance of hers will end up on YouTube at some point so she wants to always look good in the heels. She didn't seem to give a crap from 2001-2004 when she wore the boks exclusively on tour.

But all the same, I would never, ever trust her thoughts and recollections as definitive.

This statement is so profoundly sad and yet so very true.

I can not figure out if she is a habitual liar or a pathological liar. I just tell myself she is a story teller who can't keep her stories straight, but the reality is (based on her track record of 30+ yrs of "continuous rewriting of her own stories") it is either habitual or pathological.

After wearing suede and leather boots in my "dress like Stevie" days, I have a bunion on my right foot--caused by the high heeled, pointy boots that I wore all the time in the 70's and 80's. I can't even imagine how much wearing her boots must hurt; they hurt me just to look at them. Surgery looks really scary (watch it on You Tube sometime if you want to have nightmares; yikes!). And this is likely why she's not a happy camper on stage. Foot pain is not for sissy's.

If Stevie needs to wear Nikes, frankenboots, or whatever she needs, let's support her. At least she's still out there singing her heart out for us.

Well for me, I like the reeboks because they were all black. They kind of blended in with her attire. The white trim is a bit distracting. Also, I don't think that wedge is comfortable. I mean it would be for one day, if you're just walking around Santa Monica on Saturday. But I don't think a wedge, even a Converse wedge, is good for a whole tour.
