My first thought would be she would go out looking like Stevie is expected to look and leave the glasses and "undercover" clothes for when she's not in the public eye. If you're Stevie (or anyone famous) heading out into Caesars, you expect fans are going to come and say hi, in which case, look your best.

When I saw Stevie during SYW at a shop, she had on black pants, black un-platform Reeboks and a bat-wing blouse (sleeves not too big) that was black chiffon with red flowers on it, and big reading glasses, her hair pulled up, she definitely wasn't in show-garb - but oh how beautious!

Elise, whoever you are: get a life, (and perhaps a facial), doll!

That's really rude, imo.....LOTS of people on this board dress up like Stevie for the shows. Why don't you just tell everyone on the Ledge to get a life? Do you have perfect skin? So what if Elise looks enough like Stevie to stump people. If you had the balls to approach her, you would know what a sweet person she is.

Yes, dear, lots of people dress in homage of Stevie, but nobody I've seen tries to copy her to this degree (loading on make up to look older???) - that's a little phony for me - but that's my opinion - and this was Vegas, after all.

Balls? No sweetheart, just trying to be polite and respect her space, and I never said anything about her not being a sweet person - just a little odd, perhaps, but obsessions always are - and let's be honest here, to take that much trouble to impersonate someone (even Elvis) requires a degree of obsession...

Didn't mean to upset you - you sound like a friend of hers. If so, where did she get that shawl - it was gorgeous....?

That sounds so cute! I recognized Lori with hardly any makeup on so I think I would be able to pick out Stevie regardless of what she was wearing. Perhaps some day!

I wouldn't lump Elise into the freaky fan category. And I'm not saying anyone here who dresses up like Stevie IS necessarily a freaky fan. My point is, there are fans, and there are freaks. I've met both, and I can assure you that Elise does not fall into the "freak" category. And yes, she's a friend of mine.

Does she look like that all the time? Did she tell you why she takes so much effort to look like Stevie? I mean, she really did look like her. I thought it was a little strange, too. I'm glad to hear she's sweet, but that did seem like, uh, extra special effort, if you know what I mean.

Uh the sarcasm in some of these posts is making my stomach hurt. All the "sweethearts" and "dears"...Lordy.

Marcus would prolly not allow "bar security" or rent a cops to look after her. He is uber protective..as he should be. Sweet guy too.

She's just having a good time at the shows - and yeah, she and her hubby Joe are both into the whole Renaissance look thing anyway...so I wasn't at all surprised to learn that they wanted to go hang at Excaliber... I saw a few drag queens who apparently took more time to look like Stevie than Elise did...

MmmmHmmm.

Some people's sarcasm is just other's friendliness... oh well, to each his own!
I saw one drag queen on my way out of the theatre - wow, is all I'm saying! but I suppose if you go to that much trouble to look like your idol, it's cool. .... I think it would be more sad if people weren't as deeply touched by Stevie's music and image - heck, even I took my lace to Vegas, it was just too hot to wear it, but kudos to those who did!
