Is Christine completely done with the music business?

I would say probably, but ITM came as a complete surprise, so who knows?

Although I'm sure the sales figures for ITM were a pretty big letdown for her, which is too bad, because I GREATLY prefer it to SYW.

She may have been disappointed with the ITM sales but she's not daft, she knew that without a tour and not much promotion the sales were never going to be that great.

I prefer it to SYW as well which sounded to me like Buckingham Nicks backed by Fleetwood and McVie

Does anyone have a scan of the Melody Maker page showing the top 10 list and hopefully a shot of Chris' legs?

Another George Hurrell glamour shot from 1982.

Sunglasses circa 1978.

I never liked the glamour shots she and Stevie occasionally took. Love the glasses photo, however. For me, Christine's appeal is that she's a warts-and-all kind of a gal, someone who is sexy but not too pretty, a woman who isn't girlish...

I agree. That so-called "glamour shot" is hideous.

Most of her pics are the tough girl. So I did like the glamour shots once in a while.

I like the glamor shots fine, as a change of pace. But these artistic beauty shots would be even more stunning if they captured the real essence of a person, rather than making them look like something else.

When Hurrell did the old stars, I loved how he caught a part of them that was there, but not always seen. To me, Joan Crawford always looked harsh and I never thought of her as romantic, but he did pictures of her with Franchot Tone that were so lovely I wanted to make a poster out of them. He brought me in touch with a side of her that existed in her early movies, but that I had not previously been aware of.

Now with the Hollywood actors, since they did look that way in their movies, it was great to bring the same thing to still photos. However, with rock stars, I'm not sure you want them to look like Hollywood actors from a 1930's film.

If he'd brought out more of Christine's natural elegance, rather than transforming her that would have been even better. But I cherish the shots we have.

I agree.

Some of the glossy shots she did for her solo record, including the one that's featured in the booklet for The Chain (the one with her hair up), are really great.

I love that she has such a variety of shots... From looking like Mick to Cheryl Tiegs..
