Stevie Nicks 4 Ever
Filed Under: Music Special Events
 Hey friends, tonight's highlight is the kind of event that restores your faith in the beautiful craziness of the human species. Think of your favorite Fleetwood Mac star, think about her some more, then drape yourself in swishing fabrics, close your eyes, wear crazy bangly jewelry, find the weirdest, flowiest most romantically gothic accessories you can, and staple them to your outfit, hair and bangly jewelry, and raise a tambourine at the Night of a Thousand Stevies, the greatest Stevie Nicks fan-tribute event in the history of the world. More than one thousand Stevie-lovers get together and put on a night of adoration and music.
They say this:
Neither a contest nor a karaoke show, NOTS is a riot of shawls, lace, baby's breath, twirling, tambourines and great performance.
DOZENS of better-known Stevie-wannabes perform Stevie songs (past performers have included Cyndi Lauper, Courtney Love, Boy George and Debbie Harry), and the theme of tonight's gala (it's their 18th year!) is Stevie's song 'Nightbird' (live version co-sung with her sister pasted below).
The subtleties suggested by each year's theme song of course inform each year's costume suggestions, which this year are these:
Glamour In Black And Blue, Capes, Cloaks And
Enchanted Eveningwear, Eye Makeup Dark And Careless, Hand-Held Decorated Birds,
Stevie Nicks Boot Fetish (All Summer Long), Black Glitter Tambourines, Coq
Feathers And Cokespoons, Midnight Blue Velvet, Moonstone Amulets, Lindsey Or
John McVie Prince Of Darkness Interpretations, Victorian Mourning Hankies or
Black Chiffon Wings.
That should be made into some kind of poem? A poem like this:
And the summer became the fall
I was not ready for the winter
It makes no difference at all
cause I wear boots all summer long
Wow, this post is getting about three times longer than I expected. So it's at 9pm at the Highline Ballroom, on W 16th St, and advance tickets, $25, are strongly encouraged. Get them now.
