2008 Calendar Pics (SortaSpoilerIsh)

Well, here's the good news: the pictures in this one are way better than the ones in the last. I still don't plan on buying it, but I have nothing against anyone who does.

Here's the bad news. There are still no full length shots, and one too many doped-out RAL outtakes. I still like Neal Preston better, because he photographs Stevie as a performer and an icon, as opposed to Herbert Worthington, who tends to photograph her as a posed and perfect product.

These photos have small watermarks on them, except for the BD rose and beret one. They aren't mine.

Because I think it bears repeating:

Oh the one where Herbie is in back of her and she's kind of turning her head over her shoulder is really nice.

Those are far superior to the previous calendar! Thanks for posting!

I think he's a good photographer, and these were probably full length shots to begin with... I just think he likes to zoom in to her face instead of giving up the whole shot.... I'd prefer full length shots personally.

Yup, definitely better than the last one! There are only three pictures I don't like, and two that are meh. The rest is great.

Why does everyone like this one so much?

She looks like a crackwhore.

Maybe I need to see a bigger version.

thanks for posting the pictures. i love them.

I haven't ordered mine yet (broke from the holidays!) but I am in LOVE with this calendar!!!! I adore Herbie's shots of Stevie, I'd much rather have a calendar of studio outtakes than live shots, but that's just my opinion

I cannot wait to see these full size! And the crack whore one is my favorite shot, it's so Nightbird with the eye makeup dark and careless.

luv,
Shel

Looks like she was in the cast of the new Sweeny Todd movie.

Or it could have been shot the day after the August 1987 smackdown.

Btw, HI, Doug!

(Unlike Shel, I prefer live, too, but only from olden times. For contemporary, I prefer studio. I still think Worthington's best work was for Rumours.)

Here's a scan I found. I think it looks worse when seen bigger. Why is her nose so shiny? Why does she need to wear so much eyeshadow? In half of the RAL pictures I've ever seen she looks like Daryl Hannah in Blade Runner!

wolfontherun · #14 12-22-2007, 08:48 PM

I too am loving the crack ho look so very 80s punk rockish looking. The 3 that preceed that one are very nice indeed.

I really hate the one where she is quating with the cape over her head. Blech.

vermicious knid · #15 12-22-2007, 09:07 PM

You are right; she does look reminiscent of Pris from Blade Runner. . . but I think that is a cool thing!

I don't recall any pictures like it where she has the dark eyeshadow going all the way around her eyes. Are there any others similar to it?
