I had someone named "Barbara" ask me to trade some of my Fleetwood Mac/Stevie music collection to 'em in exchange for pictures...But I noticed a person with a similar website name was hocking **** on eBay so I deleted her email offer...I wonder if it is the same person???

That's our Babs. Manager of the Stevie Nicks Collectors Club.

Chiffonheads were (are?) the people who talked to you -- with a straight face -- about the spirits speaking to them & who signed their letters & e-mail to you with "Much love" or "Magick unto ye" or "blessed be" or any number of silly phrases from Stevie's brand of Wicca & who addressed one another as "Angel" & who liberally peppered their conversation (such as it is) with lines from Stevie Nicks songs & interviews & who often turned into werewolves at the slightest artistic or musical criticism of Stevie herself. Such people did exist, regardless of whether you choose to believe it, & it was my experience that they existed in large numbers, & I don't need anybody telling me that I exaggerate it or concoct it or see it in a bad dream. Some of those people were extremely nasty (there's one in Kentucky who has alienated virtually the entire fan world for numerous reasons, & another one actually prevented a song from being included on a Stevie Nicks album after he stole it).

When I speak scornfully of "chiffonheads," those are the people I'm referring to -- not just anyone who happens to love Stevie.

This is the best thing i've read all day Thanks, Dave!

figured as much, I also have another trade offer from a person whose first name is Ginny (Last initial is M.) that I sometimes wonder if she could be the same "Ginny" that fans know to be a few sandwiches short of a picnic...

Hopefully this "Ginny M." is just another fan and not some "Whacka-loon".

That would be she.

Here's her game: She's grabs what is freely circulated on the Internet among fans -- photographs, audio, video -- & sells it to the highest bidder, & then publicly congratulates herself for being a loving, caring, extra-special & extra-talented lady, all the while backstabbing, chasing off & running down other fans. This has been going on for about six years now.

Yup. She also takes photos from the Nicks Fix, makes copies of them, and tries to get people to join her photo club where she'll send you copies of those very photos every month for a ridiculous fee.

She sounds like something special alright. It's a shame they don't have laws against being a total asshole. She'd be jailed be now.

Oy, Ginny is a she-beast. What a whack job. I thought people like that only existed in the movies.

Hope it's just a regular fan.

Wow - where do you guys run into these people?

If she were in Texas, the switch would have already been flipped.

Seriously, go to her web pages...if you dare.

People like this have always existed in the fan world. The longer the time one has spent in the fan world, the more people like this one has seen in action.

The only way to avoid the rotten ones is to avoid the good ones, too, & I've never chosen to do that. There are too many cool, funny, generous fans around to avoid the whole world, as far as I'm concerned.

I've been around for a while but I'm oblivious I guess...well actually I pretty much just stay around here - and once in a while I pop onto Nancy's board...that's pretty much it

I've come across some crazies here for sure....but this Barbara and Ginny - they seem like extreme sickies there...

You have nothing to fear, Brian (other than the fact that someone might have given herself a screen name in honor of the Real Deal).

The actual Ginny not only would never engage in trading but would actively pursue a prison sentence for any fan caught doing so.

Blame Stevie for Ginny, she's the one who employed her for so many years and forced that beast upon us. Ginny is 51 cards short of a full deck.
