I know exactly which photo you are describing. I was under the impression that was taken in late 1994 or 1995. Also, I thought she didn't start crimping up her hair until the SA tour. For the Bill Clinton inauguration and the SA photo sessions her hair was straight.

Oh I agree, I wasn't digging the two-toned hair she was sporting for a short while during the RAL era. Those 'bathroom' pics are pretty hideous, her face looks like a skull. This pic is probably a good indication of what depths she fell to during her coke addictions worst years.

You might be right, I"m actually none too sure about the year for the blue velvet muumuu pic. 1994 might be about right.

I had to pause that bit for a minute the first time I saw it. I just wanted to crawl through the screen and hug her. Very sad.

I believe this is the picture you were referring to:



Not her best look no, but how fukcing great did she look a year later at the Twister premiere?

She definately looks like the "lady from the mountain" in THAT one.

Yes, that's one of them. The other pic I saw from the same event though, had a better view of her hair. You could clearly see the silver roots when you looked at where her hair was parted. Very sad, indeed. But lucky for us, she did bounce back.

I LOVE that dress/coat/gown

As for looking bad, she is fat, but considering it is a candid take, she looks okay.

I don't think you've taken a good enough look at that hair.

[petep9000]

Yes, that's the pic I remember. With the hair-part and the silver/gray roots showing. Oh, Stevie. Well, better times were not too long in the future for her.

[strandinthewind]

The hair is okay - the style is awfulk though

Certainly, she improved though.

[strandinthewind]

her roots look dark to me The rest of it looks blonde.

[estranged4life]

Talk about putting yer finger in the light socket...Sheesh.

Looks like she beat up Waddy and stole his hair.

Or she dyed that Chia-pet blonde and wore it...

I know that if I had seen pictures like that in the tabloids I would have freaked. Considering how horrible all of that must have been, I am surprised how Stevie can kind of laugh it off these days. Yes, the "pack up the tranquilizers; we're going to Washington, D.C." line was the funniest thing I've ever heard!!

Not to nitpick but Stevie went to Betty Ford to kick Coke. I think she said she went to a place called Exodus in L.A. to get off Klonopin.

I believe she was 'sent' to Betty Ford, and 'went' to the other place.
