Stevie's outfit on Leno

I took my black dress
And spun around
Cllimbed on bathroom scale
Saw I'd lost more pounds
And I saw my reflection
In the blue crystal lamp
'Til the Ledge board brought me down

Oh posters on this board
What is chic
Why don't you think this dress
Flatters each cheek
Can I wow you once more with my style
Like I dance atop the beautiful bathroom tile?

Dress, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I built my look around you
But time makes you bolder
Even Stevie Nicks gets older
And this dress makes her look older, too

So take this dress
Take it off
When I walk out onstage
You'll no longer scoff
And if you see me performing Edge of 17
With a stuffed animal hand me a new dress
And if you see me performing Edge of 17
With a stuffed animal hand me a new dress

(Hey, it's not as good as the Fajita Round-up, but it fit.)

Hey, I give this an A+

Ragged dress reeks like a shrowd from Goodwill
Wouldn't you love to rip it?

She wares that rag like a bird wears feathers
Who will make her change it?
Who will make her change it?

All your life you've never seen a thing
but that Halloween frock

What would you say if promised that she change it?
Will you ever win...Will you ever win...

(Chorus: Raaaaagged....Raaaaagged)

She looks like a cat with matted fur
Hips lost in the fabric's darkness
She rules her closet like a fine Bewitched reject
and what if she goes bra-less...

All your life you've never seen a frock
as frumpy as this
Would you cheer if she changed it?
Will we ever win? Will we ever win...

(Raaaaagged....Raaaaagged...Raaaaagged)

Rags unwind...fashion's a state of mind
Your rags unwind and still it's a state of mind
I know the mall's somewhere,
but still it's hard to find
I know

Take me like the wind,
baby take me to store
take me now
Take me like the wind,
baby take me to the store, store, store

All the same, baby all the same
Raaaagged...my clothes are all the same

And the Ledgies still cry out to her
Don't wear it!
Don't wear it!

Aaaagaaain.

[Mad4stevie]

Ugh! That has to be one of the worst dresses I have ever seen Stevie in. What is up with a cardigan? And those white buttons! Looked like one of my grandmother's!

LMAO, Miranda!!!!!

[gypsysara]

That HAEWAFY was hysterical!

[darklinensuit]

There was no new look anywhere in sight
Could try inside-out
I had looked everywhere but the only look being worn on the stage
Was a corpse dress
Oooooh her Blackdress

She might be thrifty, she's no Penney's customer
And she was too proud
Go find some new tax loophole, give coupon to her
If that's what she wants, personal shopper...personal
If you were wiser you'd wear your boots

Onstage the same Blackdress gets worn
Online where the Ledgies still laugh and they scorn
Ledgies still laugh and scorn
Ledgies still laugh and scorn
Ledgies still laugh and they scorn

Don't settle for new look, settle for cardigan
Some personal shopper
Discount, well give that to her
Oh, if that's what she wants, personal shopper...personal
If you were wiser you'd ditch the pink scarf

And the dress that's worn through another night
Is Blackdress that was carried from the Old Country
Was removed from the body of Annabel Lee
And the style remains

And the guardian of your "Fashion Challenge" does not cry...

(I think we're nearly as prolific as Stevie!)

I would just love it if she would wear the white dress in your avatar; she looks fantastic in it!!!!!

Also, she had a few different colored outfits and boots during The Dance tour. So, here's hoping she will do the same for this tour.

Unfortunately that was auctioned off on Ebay awhile back. i was one of the crazy fools who bid on it. It's from the Sorcerer video, isn't it?

[gldstwmn]

Dressmaker take your time
make it as dark as night
Stevie will change her dress
on the tour in 2005

When the night is cold and still
When you thought
you'd had your fill
she wears the black dress
again, yes she will

You know all of her friends say "egads!"
she still knows how to paint her face
but there's only one skirt she needs
it's the swishy one with black lace...

As she grew older
Ooooh until she herself
Became just as boring
As was her wardrobe

And so you run to wear
What you know is blaah
There are too many new dresses
to CHOOSE FROM!
For the love that I have for this dress
For the love that I have for this dress
Grab a shawl!

Never did I mean to
Imprison me
Here in this black dress
Like I am in prison
For all the love that I have for this dress
For all the love that I have for this dress
Grab a hat!

Until she herself
Became a fashion victim
Leaving her heart broken
No fashion at all

Until she herself
Became Mr. Blackwell's worst dressed
Always frumpy
No fashion at all

And so you run to wear
What you know is blaah
There are too many designers
to CHOOSE FROM!
For the love that I have for this dress
For the love that I have for this dress
Tambourine!

Runnin' through the closet
I'm running in all black fabrics
Straight towards
Straight towards
What you know is realleeee bland
Too many new dresses to choose from here
For the love that I have for this dress
Curl my hair!

Go on, change my dress
Leave the cape here
You want me to say yes
I shouldn't have fear
Don't ask me why
I'm on Atkins diet
Got one black dress, I've lost the weight
Didn't need to buy it

I have come to know
This world of changing dresses
I shouldn't fight this board
I can't change it
So be true to me
My waistline's slimmer
If I'd only get my own stylist
Could show off I'm trimmer

Aaah
Dressed this way and ran (on my treadmill)
as fast as I can

I am older now
But I still wear you-know-what
I lost 35 pounds
Won't dress to show it
So be true to me...

What you did not need was a woman in this black dress
Drab dowdy sister of the moon
I want to be her
I really want to
Please write Come for me, not for Ann Heche Lafoon

Go on change myself
I shouldn't be here

(I don't want to hog all the SYW songs. Somebody write Goodbye black dress before I do.

ROTFLMAO!

I like the color black
I like the dress
I like the way I wear the same thing
every night
It's like living like a freakin' pauper
I own one outfit
With a golden shawl and a tambo


I can't take this dress for granted
I wouldn't trade it for Chanel or Escada
Not for Donna Karan, not for any brand.

I need it to be there.
Just remember when I wear it
That it's a cry for fashion help...

HAHA! This stuff is great! Im' so glad I finally checked out this thread!

THE SECOND TIME

Was it in my mind
Or was it real
That woman used to cool costume changes
Do you remember how
She used to dress
And Street Angel left her there
Right before the weight came off
Do you remember she used to dance
Do you remember, Gold and Braid
Did you feel like it was
The second time with you
That feeling of a Leno deja-vu
Well it had to do with Blackdress redux
And Blackdress that she loved
And would always love
The second night to wear
In a row
She never changed back
Blackdress that she loved
And would zone out in
The second time to wear, same show
She never changed back
She could never change back

These have ALL made me laugh! They're hilarious! I've tried to do one:

I don't wanna know the reason why the black dress keeps appearing night after night
I don't wanna hurt your feelings with the truth
I just want you to look fine

Finally, Stevie
The truth has to be told, now
Take a listen to your fans
For cryin' out loud

Trying to look good
Oh, you think it's workin' but it's not, no
It's only making you look frumpy
Oh, sad but true, sorry.

I don't wanna know the reason why you can't change into something more flattering
I don't understand why no one has told you
That the black dress is fattening

I don't wanna know how much you pay Margi
When all she's done is make one dress
I don't wanna hear that your dress is timeless
The time for change is long past

Don't get me wrong, we're thankful
You lost the shoulder pads and girdle
Without them, you thought that you'd look fat
Instead it helped, this is just like that

Try to catch a clue!
You'll look much better in a short skirt
And those pants were looking good, too
Clinging tight to you
Under a loose top
Yeah, that looks hot

I don't wanna know the reason why the black dress keeps appearing night after night
I don't wanna hurt your feelings with the truth, Stevie
I just want you to look fine!!

Am I the only one who hears her singing these in my mind when I read the lyrics on here?

(I am now a Senior Ledgie. I'd like to thank my Muse, and my favorite singer Stevie, who wears it. )

THE BATTLE OF THE BLACKDRESS

This was not prescribed, but after the drugs,
I decided to wear Blackdress for all time

I see something, I look like Whistler's Mother
I see Blackdress remaining when I am long retired
And the reason that I wear it when I'm onstage
And the reason that my feet no longer move

No one separates me from old Blackdress
Got a sore hip now, it's so sad
Like old lady
Plant old lady ten feet from Lindsey
And wish him to glance
And when your fans start asking you why
You don't change nothing

The Today Show, The Tonight Show, and the now upcoming tour

Fans ain't adapting to old Blackdress
They can hate it but love me
At least they're listening
But they know I'm prisoner in disguise

Who has dry cleaned it?
Have I one Blackdress, or is there more?
Have I been treadmilling?
Well, I say it's harder now
Well I got the message
Blame it on my Wild Hip
From what I can tell I need to stand still

You say fans are wanting Newdress
Movement is wrong
Well I can and I will wear Blackdress

When this battle is over
Blackdress will survive
In the healing of Wild Hip
No one walks anywhere
Oh, you wish it to mend, wish it to mend, wish it to mend

("Dare my Wild Hip")
