Aging Gracefully -Stevie made the list

SummerlongBoots · #1 04-12-2013, 03:06 PM

Stevie made the list of "Rock Stars Aging Gracefully." I don't think they are in any type of order, but if they were she should've been number 1.

^^OMG! Any list that combines the words "aging gracefully" and "Keith Richards" is instantaneously discredited.

In fact, I think all of them aged terribly except for Stevie, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Pat Benatar and David Bowie. I mean... Elton John?? WTF??

LOL I totally agree.

I don't like the "current" photo they selected. What a bad choice! Her face looks very pudgy! She looks much better in many other photos.

I have to check with my old photos to see if I'm Aging Gracefully.LOL...

Stevie never ages.

Thank for sharing.

Stevie's face in the current photo isn't so much pudgy, but rather simply "lifted". This is one of those shots where the surgery is apparent.
I didn't bother looking for the Rick Springfield photos, but he has had major cosmetic surgery and wears a hairpiece. Does that constitute ageing gracefully?

But in fairness, Keith looked pretty bent out of shape 20 years ago. So, I don't know if he's aged gracefully, but he hasn't aged a LOT since then.

It's like when the treads on your car tire are already gone, but you still get 10,000 more miles on them. Score!

I think Springfield looks awful.

I go back & forth on whether or not I think she's had a full lift. She's definitely had an eye lift, you can compare pics of her about 10 years ago with now & see the difference.

He looked dead 20 years ago; now he just looks like a dehydrated corpse/mummy.

I went to see Bon Jovi last night, Jon Bon Jovi is definitely looking really good, as is his statemate Bruce Springsteen (I think Springsteen is aging gracefully on the inside particularly, he never feels like a man trying to be young again even though youth is a significant part of his music, in a way). Joni Mitchell as well. Although I have to say I don't think there's anything wrong with looking your age, it's normal.

Stevie's good looks definitely look a bit artificial at this point, not that I judge her for it. It's good work as far as work goes.

Ok I'm new here and have enjoyed following all of your comments for some time. So I'm getting brave and adding my 2 cents. I think Stevie's comments about why she looks so good because she stays out of the sun since she was 30 is bs! She's had a total face lift, eye lift, lipo, you name it she probably has had it! I worked in a retirement resort and we had 2 groups, sun worshipers and ones who never saw the sun. Not much difference, yes the sun worshipers looked more weathered but the others just looked pale and pasty and OLD!!! I don't know if she has said she has never had plastic surgery, but who admits it anyway except Joan Rivers! And I'm sure Stevie doesn't want to be associated in that club!

Billy Joel, Sting, Pat Benatar, Debbie Harry, and a lot of these celebs have aged extremely well. But I think Stevie takes the cake!! A lot of these musicians are nasty now haha..

She said she had botox and her eyes watered for 3 months. Other than that she has never admitted to having anything else done (not to my knowledge).

Yeah, some of Huffpost's choices are downright laughable. The first one that came up when I clicked the link was Mick Jagger LOL...amazing talent, has looked aged for years, and gracefully is the last modifier I'd use for him as well as most people on the list. Stevie, however, looks great. She would never discuss plastic surgery publicly, but it definitely fits her often prima donna attitude and the importance of her image to her. I think it's very likely she has had a few facelifts, definitely before The Dance. A good example is probably the 2004 Live in Boston video for Gypsy, which gets very close to her face. It looks very tight, a tell-tale sign of a recent facelift---though not as stiff as Christine looked for The Dance. Just keep in mind that these people, entertainers, actors, A-listers, are in the public eye and feel the ridiculous burden of public expectation, of keeping the looks that made them famous and that their fans expect. I have no doubt that Stevie has had some surgical enhancements, but they have been done quite well without drawing attention (unlike her backup singer Sharon, for instance). Sometimes though it isn't until someone reaches their 70s when it becomes much more obvious that they've been having work done.

Agree on both counts. I love Sharon, but wouldn't you think she'd use the same dr Stevie uses when she can see how good the results are??
