.:. The Platform Place .:.
Platform Woman
to the tune of "Gold Dust Woman"
written by my good friend Lindsey
Rock on-platform woman
Take your six-inch heels,
And trip offstage
Balance challenge
Take one step and I pray
Make-up in the morning
Up at sunrise-chiffon dress all around
Lousy tailors-make the dress
But the headpiece doesn�t match
Did she make you sigh
Make you freak out
Inspire your illusions of love
Is it over now-do you know how
To buy a C.D. and go home.
Rock on-chiffon queen
Autograph those who bow
In your shadow
Different than the others
She leaves behind a golden, magic trail
Did she make you sigh
Make you freak out
Inspire your illusions of love
Is it over now-do you know how
To buy a C.D. and go home.
Ooh...Bella Donna...Timespace...
Ooh...bow in the shadow...of a platform...
Platform...woman...
"I remember being in Aspen, having just written Landslide and Rhiannon walking around in the snow in a bunny coat, a pair of patchwork jeans that I'd spend my last $30 on, and these very high platform shoes that were kind of beige, kind of cream-colored. They had humongous platform that made me really tall so that I didn't have to cut of the fabulous bottoms of the jeans. Even when platforms went completely out of style, I kept wearing them because I didn't want to go back to being five feet three in a pair of heels." - Stevie Nicks, Allure, 1995
"[I have] about 25 pairs. I have them in rose pink and gray blue and mauve. I have three or four pairs I wear every night."
- Stevie Nicks, on her platforms, Rolling Stone, 1994
"...and these are my boots that my little Jewish cobbler who's seventy years old makes. A five-foot one-inch-tall person needs six inches. Onstage especially. Standing next to Mick Fleetwood is ridiculous. Anybody standing next to Mick is ridiculous, so imagine a five-footer. You blend into his drums, which he loves because then he's the star. So I say, 'Wait a minute, Mick, I'm going to get tall.' I get far on these boots. They are very out of style and I don't care. I love them. They are beautiful suede and they are soft. I tried to get this boot a long time ago, and it was going out then. We searched London, and I found one pair that was like a size five, and I wear a five and a half or six, but I bought them anyway. I stuffed my little feet into them." - Stevie Nicks, High Times, 1982
