The fix on Nicks
HER lead-up form includes several Kentucky derbys, the first of which she attended after jetting in on a private plane with Dennis Hopper and Dwight Yoakam. But like everyone else flocking to Flemington today, rock singer Stevie Nicks has been agonising over what to wear. "I think I'm going to have a bit of an Australian cowgirl look going," says Nicks, who is adamant that for once it will be a no-frills affair. Nicks, who will perform with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra on the Melbourne leg of her Australialian tour in February and March next year, is planning to be something of a stayer herself during the cup carnival. On Saturday she presents a trophy to the winners of a race named in her honour and tomorrow she is attending a ladies lunch beginning at what for her is the ungodly hour of 12.30 sharp. "Can I tell you the last time I had lunch with anybody? I don't get up early."

You silly girls! Everyone knows that an Australian cowgirl rides a kangaroo and instead of singing "Home on the Range," 'round the campfire, they sing "Tie me kangaroo down, sport..." They eat vegamite sandwiches instead of vittles and beans, and they play the didgeridoo instead of acoustic guitars. I would imagine their dress is similar to any other cowgirl?

Have fun, give us a report!

I believe the technical term for an Australian Cowgirl would be a "jilleroo" (Ozzies back me up on this

). To me it kinda looks like Johnny Cash doing drag:

I know it's unimaginable but I wasn't listening to what she said, I was just tuning in to the race.

Lux, you are such a Stevie sighting tease.
