Stevie & Jose Eber

What's the story behind Stevie & Jose Eber?

We've all seen lots of photos of Stevie in Eber's L.A. salon after she got out of rehab:

The teased, puffy perm she got from Eber looks like the same hairstyle she had when Fleetwood Mac filmed the "Little Lies" & "Big Love" videos later that year. Did Eber do Stevie's hair for those video shoots?

Anecdote: When she played the Inglewood Forum on July 18, 1986, I saw Eber & Friend arrive before "Beauty & the Beast," sit down in the front, & then duck backstage after the song.

I thought at the time, "Why doesn't she make friends with someone who really digs her music instead of someone who just wants to be seen with her?" (Eber was all over daytime talk shows in those days, gabbing about all his star friends -- a typical Hollywood Queen.)

So what was the Stevie-Eber connection all about, & how long did it last?

Hey, if you like it, that's all that should matter, right?

Well I got some complaints that it scared people so I changed it. That happened before with a sig I posted which was a very, very close up of her duirng the edge walk. I think those scary pics are hilarious but obviously some don't see the humor.
The new sig is the background on my computer at work. My co-worker created it for me in Photoshop when I started a this job a couple years ago because he knew I loved Stevie. I've never changed it. Isn't it beautiful?

Oh well, I don't see a problem you know?

It was a contest, with the winner having her hair styled by Stevie. I remember they did a story about it on one of the tabloid shows (ET, I think...).

The winner came in with mousy, brown, semi-curly hair that was pretty long - at least to her shoulderblades. And when Stevie was done, she had a very straight, deep crimson/maroon bob cut or pageboy, like she just stepped off the set of a psychedelic remake of The Great Gatsby. But, the winner *said* she liked it.

Stevie and Jose also gave a short interview, where Stevie gave her "If I weren't a singer/songwriter, I'd be a hairdresser or teacher" speech. Then, they had video of footage of her posing for the press cameras which was a little strange, especially with her aforementioned scary hairdo. She was very robotic, jerking her head around then quickly stopping to pose for separate photographers. But that hair NEVER moved.

I have that on video - Stevie goes, "We call her 'Red' now!"

Jose IS a fan, he's gone to many Stevie and Mac shows.

OMG Livia I finally saw the finale of Six Feet Under last night (I missed the original airing last week) and I cried my eyes out for 30 minutes I tell you. That closing montage of how they all die was the most beautiful thing I've ever see in my life. It was really inspring, actually. Very, very touching and made me think about just how short life really is and how we must live each day as if it is our last because who the fu*k knows when it's all going to end. Speaking of which, why did such a great show have to end? I am truly saddened.

I think Stevie should have Chris McMillan cut her hair and Brad Johns do the color. She'd have such a beautiful glossy blonde 'do (not that I don't like her hair now, but it'd be cool to see a few different colors weaved through and a slightly different cut, but still keeping it long!).
