Best/worst career moves

It's probably because most of the posts of late have been about Las Vegas and a lot of Ledgies are not able to go.

.....So solly, but we have to make our plans!

Boston. 1996. Free concert.

She looked sick as a dog. I've seen Casper costumes with a healthier hue to them.

But, my god, she's in her mid-late 50s! Does anybody really expect her to look as she did in her 20s and 30s? I think the big difference between Stevie in 1993 and now is that she doesn't look sick. In fact, Stevie didn't look like herself in 1993. She looked like Mary Travers, who's at least ten years older than Stevie and has had children.

It isn't her hip that's giving her weight "problems," it's The Change, dear.

Rail thin is not the best look for anyone, regardless of age.

Are there are any pics of that floating around? I'm just curious. Chances are, I'd still be totally taken by her--sick, healthy, rail thin, etc. There are certainly some bad pics of her, but we all have those. Even in the bad ones, I can see her beauty so clearly. God, she's beautiful.

Sorry, I seem to have slipped away into Stevie fantasy land. Will return shortly.

Well, I think it is that. But I also think that she was unable to exercise on the treadmill like she says she likes to had something to do with it as well. I mean when she was holding LB's hand in the dressing room on DR, she looked stunning. Then, on tour, she put on some weight. I think she has a tendancy to put on weight on tour though. She did for TISL, SA, and SYW.

Different anti depressants have different side effects. Klonopin is not an anti depressant, btw.
Unless you've been there, you don't know what it's like. Depression is a horrible, debilitating illness.
Pray that you never get it.

There are reviews of the 1996 concerts on nicksfix. There are pics floating around out there. The ones I have seen are okay. She was not dressed in the witchy stuff and that was cool. She was very white though. Of course it was an outdoor concert in the day light - which is not the best lighting for anyone

I just went to the NicksFix to look for pics. I didn't see any for the Boston show in particular, but I thought the others from '96 were gorgeous! There are pics for that Christmas Carol thingy, which was '96, and she's stunning in those to me.

She was dressed in her witchy stuff. She came out wearing what looked like an ugly white tablecloth that her great gran had made in 1904 over her black garb. It was the most barfugly thing I've seen her wear and that says a lot. Her hair was fried (it was yellow), she was so pale that she was corpse-like, and she just seemed...sickly. I was worried, personally.

She does look sickly in those photos.

Are y'all kidding me? Didn't y'all notice that I had an avatar from one of those photos not too long ago? I didn't even realize it was from that show. Some of those are among my favorite pictures of her!!! I'm in love with the way she looks there. I love all that hair. I know the colors are a little off, but I LOVE it. I love the bangs on her in those. Her whole look is gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous to me. And I love her in that floral dress. Seriously, these are the pics that just make me sigh! I have some of those up in my bedroom at home and my dorm room. Y'all must think I'm nuts!

I like them too. Except I don't like that floral dress. I think she looks really pretty, and I like the hair.

The thing about the floral dress is that I love it on her but wouldn't wear it myself. But applies to so many of her clothes. It seems everything I see her wear I love on her but wouldn't wear myself, for whatever reason. In the case of the floral dress, I think of it as something for an older woman, and in the case of some of her earlier, more unique clothes, I feel like I'm not skinny enough for them.

Anyway, that was just a tangent. I've been on cloud nine ever since I heard about this New Orleans show. If it's happening, I'm going. I've made up my mind. I'm going to be in awe. I'm going to see STEVIE NICKS! I think my heart will burst! From that day on, I will name all of my stethoscopes after her songs! I love her!!! (I think I'll be like this until July, so I apologize in advance, y'all).
