'lets put it this way' she hedges daintily, 'courtney and i have never spoken. we've never spoken about it and we've never spoken and i think it's best kept that way. we have mutual friends. i don't want to put them in a bad position'. * hope this helps you guys a little...:) marie ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 15 Jul 1998 23:32:28 -0500 (EST) From: Elizabeth Lauren Perry Subject: Know of a cool Tori site? Hello. I was wondering if anybody out there would like to recommend an outstanding Tori site to be featured in the Sunday edition of my mailing list. I can always use recommendations, so if you know of a cool site, please let me know. I believe that the list is a great way to give recognition to people who put a lot of time and energy into their Tori sites.

I almost never notice details of physical characteristics >or jewelry. My God! Richard...stumped? ;) Well, I know a bit of the story behind the earrings. Tori says, "The silver earrings are from a jewelery maker by the name of Jacqueline Rabin. She is an African-American living in London, and she is very talked about. You can find her work in a place off Carnaby street called Jess James. Great jewelry store. all the pieces are in aquariums. without the water." (That was from a Q&A session in the fall of 1996.) She also said (somewhere, though for the life of me I can't find where -- but I'm pretty sure it was in a spoken interview) that she takes them back to Jacqueline from time to time for touch-ups and repairs and has taken to wearing ONLY those earrings simply because they make her feel good. There was just something about them that felt magical and special and strengthening, and she feels wonderful having them on. [I'm paraphrasing here.] A note about the repairs: if you look at the earrings closely now, you can see signs of them having been pounded back into shape a little too often. They keep spreading out and getting slightly larger each time, and they have more and more dents from the flattening tools.

Or on *any* MTV network? I just want to know so that I can start stalking (not really) the programmers of MTV Latino until they play it. Or the "Jackie's Strength" one? I would appreciate any info. I will start requesting them both. MTV Latino are just friendly like that and they have the "Spark" video on heavy rotation, last week it was #3 on the "5 Most Requested" countdown, show Madonna is queen of, with her groovy "Ray Of Light" video. So I'm sure that I start requesting it (I need to be sure *any* MTV network has it) they will start playing it. You just have to tell them "MTV Europe already has it, and you *don't*!?!?! Don't get lagged!", so they will know what they have to do. I'm very nice to them, actually. So if you anything folks, don't blink and write back to me. That's all folks.

That was an *incredible* interview. Man, this is why I love Tori Amos. She makes you feel big, small, happy, sad, stupid and smart, all at the same time. Okay, so that didn't exactly make sense but well, d'you know what I mean? 2 points here. It make me extremely sad to see that Tori feels that somehow she has to tone herself (her words and expressions) down, or rather, keep herself from saying what she had never before cared to say, just because some ignorants (or simple non-believers) have started (not true; they've been doing for quite awhile now) to critize her (not very true again; "critize" is a toned-down expression of the real thing) . It just saddens me to see that she says that she feels she needs to be *cautious*. Isn't this sad? I'm afraid of Americans. Now. Second point. Jeez, poor Richard K. He was feeling rather uncomfortable, wasn't he? From what I can sense, this wasn't exactly Tori's intention (she says so herself), but I have to admit that I would felt much in the same way that Richard did. I do not want to be an interviewer! :) Australians, you better get to work! Tori said to Richard K. that he would be "surprised" to see how reachable actually she was. Is this true? Is she *that* reachable? I agree with most (if not all) of what she said. Well, that's it. Fairyhugs to everyone, especially to Heidi. You lighted up my day.
