Stevie, a laughing stock?

Like other older female divas (Cher springs to mind), Stevie seems to be viewed with equal measures of reverence and derision by a lot of gay men.
And there's no question that her image became a laughing stock in the late 80s - early 90s. I remember a MTV skit from the early 90s from Julie Brown's show (not Downtown Julie Brown but the other). Brown was dressed as Nicks, with a white lacy dress and a big blond wig, and all she did was twirl around silently. No one could shake her from her fog - that was the joke.
In that era, admitting to being a Mac or Stevie fan could get you laughed out of a room. I'm glad those times are over!

Please don't tell me you just compared Stevie Nicks with Cher! Stevie can actually sing!!! I didn't realize that Stevie was an idol for Gay men. Although the last concert I went of them there was a gay cowboy sitting in front of me, that was weird... But I'm a guy, so would it sound gay for me to say I'm a Stevie fan? I wouldn't think so since she is all about the rock and roll unlike someone like Cher.

Would it matter?

To have a dollar for every gay cowboy I know or have known...that would be a fistful of cash.

Let's see...does it sound gay for a guy to say he's a Stevie fan ? Unlikely.
A guy saying he enjoys the company of naked men...that would probably be a clincher.

Hey, I'm not bashing her. I actually have one of her albums but I think her and Stevie are way to different to be compared!

Marge: Homer, I think John prefers the company of men.

Homer: Who doesn't!?!

A year and a half ago I was a size four. I was taking antidepressants for a while in increasing doages to deal with the death of my brother from colon cancer. I'm now a size ten. I continued to work out almost every day during this whole time but still gained weight. I've been off of them since the begining of February. It's unbelievable what they can do to you

Antidepressants that cause you to gain wait which make you depressed, I think they need to go back to the drawing board with these pills

diamondsnake, It's not your fault, but your threads have a habbit of drifting considerably off topic.

and . . . a significant side effect of some of these types of drugs (Zoloft, Buspar, etc. ) make your weenie, for those that have one, not work worse than drinking a 1/5 of whiskey in one siittng. Ouch!!!!

Shouldn't that be "being Cherful"
