Personally, I have noticed La Nicks tends to gain weight while on tour.

I agree completely about Stevie being thinner at the start of her tours. I think that was totally apparent with Say You Will. And in the Details interview, she specifically mentions having lost weight recently. I think she was thinner when she did these pics and they photoshopped a little here and there. But she was definitely heavier by the time she made it to Letterman and Leno and to Dallas where I saw her on the Street Angel tour.

The link between cortisol & body fat is a studied one.

Hence the massive profits of Corti-Slim & Relacore.

But they did that shoot specifically for Details.

Well If Herbington Worthington didn't like the shoot, then he should go back to shooting Stevie himelf, instead of selling antinques...don't cha think?

Well, I guess I had to admit it now. I'm the roadie who blew the blow! Yep, I did it...and I'd do it again in a heartbeat! I used a staw most often...sometimes a piece of rolled up tissue paper from the flowers delivered to Stevie backstage. The Rock A Little tour was a crazy time and I needed the steady paycheck, so I did anything to please the boss! Actually, it was quite the honor. Our little private ritual before the show!

Just kidding!

You know I loves you, Sapph....but I think she was dead silent because she was soooooo offended that someone actually asked her that, In her fortieth decade, and after 20 years of proven skill and fame as a musical icon/legend/talent/writer/singer/blah/whatever you want to call Stevie.

As well she should be. I would be silent, too, at the sheer audacity of someone asking that! If it was true or not (I don't think it is) the mere act of someone asking me about it would make me go silent, because I would be sooo appalled. I would be appalled as myself, I can ONLY IMAGINE how appalled Stevie would be. "Good lord, can we get a grip here????"
Is what I would think.
I would think, if I were Stevie, "I have this huge awesome body of work, with two bands, and i have a new album coming out, and I was in rock during the late seventies and eighties, and I was the super queen bee of it, and some ASSHOLE is actually trying to ask me if I got coke blown up my bum?!?!?

That's what I would think. I wouldn't be able to believe, with all I (Stevie) has to offer, and all that I (Stevie) have accomplished, and continue to accomplish, that someone would actually ask me about that. I would be the most silent person you have ever seen if someone asked me that. And Stevie is nice.
I gotta be honest, My admiration goes out to her for not having smacked upside the head a few of her interviewers. Just saying.

I always wondered that myself. But Herbert is a very cool guy and I didn't want to be a nosey, prying little ****. Not sure 100% as to why he doesn't shoot SN or FM anymore. I have my ideas, cause folks, he did shoot some of my own photos...but I really do not think it's my place to tell why he no longer photographs. He was a pretty amazing photographer.

Indeed, Sparky did.

Somewhere amongst my belongings I have a photo from the infamous Roxbury show, and her arms are up and you can see she is in pretty good shape. She had a unitard on under that crazy suede fringed dress thing, with the crimpariffic fright wig hairdo (which for the record, I liked).

They certainly photoshopped the shots from that session (LaChapelle), which included the lovely pictures of her in the corner with the long black dress and the piled up hairdo. But, I think the photo jobbing was on her face, not her body. She was pretty thin before the tour. I think by the end of the tour she had packed on an easy 25 pounds. She had a different body at the end of that tour than at the beginning.

ME TOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Also, that tour was the last hint, albeit slight, of the wild and crazy onstage Nicks, which had missing since TITN IMO. Since then, The Dance, Enchanted, TISL, and SYW were pretty good, but rote in that OMG take a deep breathe it the one and only spin sequence now, time to hug LB, etc. - kind of way.

wait, wait...I thought I was the only one who liked the crimped hair.
Oh, praise be.
carry on.

About the coke rumour. I did coke for years and some nights after partying my nose would not work so I would smoke it or mix it with a little water and drink it. I mean would'nt it be a waste to blow it into an orifice as it would probably just sit there and not travel through the bloodstream? I could be wrong but it doesn't make much sense to do it that way. Unless they used a power washer which I highly doubt.

Lucky you. I saw a Zombie. Twice.

Well, she went off on Rhiannon a few times and she moved around a bunch when I saw them in NOLA - but I agree, the tour was mostly blah.

BTW - just getting home dear

No, I was referring to you posting so early in the morning. I was sound asleep and riding the Ambien train at midnight, until I was awakened at like 3:00 a.m. by a friend on his way home from work
