Bette Midler and The Rose/Stevie wardrobe resemblance

[fringed n fab]

Was watching The Rose the other night, it had been a bit since I saw it last, and couldn't help but think of what Stevie and the rock and roll lifestyle must've been like. Bette in that movie in certain scenes, with all the wispy chiffon layers and sparkles, and ankle boots with a leotard top and handkerchief skirt onstage in scenes, just reminded me of Stevie during her Mirage and Rock A Little years, so wild onstage. I know I'm not the first person to ever think of this after watching the movie.
