I like the old way she dressed everything just blowing in the wind! Like the Gypsy that she was. I hope she brings back all the long draping dresses and flowing chiffon Black and glittering in the night. That's what made her what she is today! And her unusual haunting vocals. I don't care how old she gets Just keep on doing it Stevie because it's you! The image and sound we all love you for!
