Small things you notice about Stevie... - Page 2

-She used to bite her bottom lip all the time but I haven't seen her do it very much since the early 80's. It was so cute. I wish she still did it.

-She points a lot, especially during performances (didn't her mother teach her pointing in rude?).

-She has a TON of hair, even without extensions.

-She rambles incessantly.

-She giggles like a little girl.

-She's fidgety and has a hard time sitting still.

-If you've ever met her or shook her hand during the Edge walk she makes amazingly intense eye contact and makes you feel like you're the only person in the world.

-She's 57 years old, has been through a ****load of hard times and seen the very dark side of life but still maintains a certain child-like innocense.

-This might just be me but she has large forearms for someone with such a small frame.

-She's been wearing her eye-make up the same way for years now (with that dark shadow on the crease).

-Recently her nails are always red or french manicure.

Just like Data from Star Trek: Next Generation.

She says "Thing" alot... Uses the word "Well" excessive in lyrics (which work). That's it.

Except the time she grudgingly took a stuffed animal from me during the SYW tour and practically rolled her eyes.

That's because she was having a "fat" night and the stuffed animal made it worse

She also says pronounces certain words in her own way i.e. drownded instead of drowning.

I LOVE the "H" sound when she sings.

She has really small bony hands.

Haha, yes. I know there's another really good example of this but I can't think of what it is right now. Along those lines, her metaphors and figures of speech sometimes come out a little mixed, too. But I don't know if they are malopropisms of sorts, or if she does it purposely. Like, "flash of an eye" instead of "blink of an eye" in Love Changes. Could be an intentional change just to make it sound a little different. But "windows, like the eyes to the soul" (as opposed to "eyes, like the windows of/to the soul") in My Heart has to be a blunder. Oh well... she knows what she means, I know what she means, it's all good.

Also, she has a deep, hearty cackle when she laughs. John alluded to this when he said "she has the dirtiest laugh of any woman I know" in one of his Q&A answers. I love it.

I kind of do too

. Except in Destiny Rules.

She'd speak Hebrew well!

She always pronounces the letter A as a long vowel. As in cave, made, chain, etc. It's bad grammar, but I love her for it.

StevieRox2 · #26 03-20-2006, 03:27 PM

That she usually starts the footsie game when they're all doing their bows.

She even pronounces her long e's as long a's a lot too, as in "you see your gypsAy" instead of gypsy and "not guilty have mercAy" instead of mercy.

Just as she says A(y)way instead of A(h)way.

I was about to write the same thing. However, not *exactly* like a ballerina, but if you notice, she does do the "spot" thing you're supposed to do during turns in ballet (you fix your eyes to a certain a place and then you turn and the last thing that turns is your head. When you come back, your eyes should be fixed to the same place they were before you started turning. Spotting is supposed to eliminate the "dizzy" thing and to enhance your balance).

On the subject, I have noticed that sometimes she pronounces the "n" as if she had a cold. Maybe it's just me, but I think it is very obvious in "Dreams", the original Rumours version.

Totally, as in "you'll never get Ay-way!" instead of uh-way.
