LOVE IS LUST // LIVE

UserPostedImage


Stephanie Fierce: Dear Mr. Nicolas Brown, I had written this song for you.....


As the lights simmer down, holding a guitar in which she slowly plays Steph is seen atop a piano resting calmly as everyone in the audience begins to get emotional to the simplistic soulful down-tempo R&B power ballad that is "Love is Lust". Taking a deep breath, she begins singing the lyrics of "Lust" full force cutting through the thin air that had ruled the room. She is accompanied by a woman who is playing the on-going piano in which Fierce is a top of. The piano sounds more organic live, therefore, the pace of the song is a bit slower that usual. A bassist and second guitarist are also heard playing, backing her up meanwhile wind chimes, strings, synthesizers, a funk-influenced bass and piano are heard present throughout the performance giving it more definition and living up to the CD version. Stephanie Fierce builds up the first part of the song with intense discordant chords that are similar on the original track, her vocals are present to the microphone despite the multitasking of her singing and playing guitar. Matter of fact, a lot of emotion is being put into the vocals, that Steph seems to stumble on some of the lyrics but in such a way that still sounds genuine and beautiful. Steph also sings the second and third verse with deep emotion altering her head from side to side. Her vocals are heard as warm, mellow and melancholic in the beginning and as well as choruses. Staring deeply into the camera while singing, Steph prepares herself for her guitar solo which serves as the bridge of the song and next thing you know the crowd is presented with a more skilled guitarist that is now Stephanie Fierce. Once again her electric guitar solo sounds a bit more organic than the CD version and while being a bit off, she manages to complete it with a respectful taste. Cutting the performance short as the second part and the third part couldn't be presented in the acoustic sound Steph was looking for, Steph finishes the song with a adlib section where a drummer joins her and she begins to mumble as if she was speaking in tongues, giving the performance a cathedral sort of setting. Once finishing, Stephanie can't help but smile directly to some of the screaming fans in the audience who were overdosed in amazement.

"Love is Lust" (Lyrics)

"If I ain't got nothing, I got you
If I ain't got love I don't give a damn
cause I got it with you
I don't know much about algebra,
but I know 1 + 1 = 2 and its me and you
that's all we'll have when the world is through
cause baby we ain't got nothing without lust
but darling we got enough love for the bost of us
so come on baby make love to me,
when my days look low, hold me in close and don't let me go
make love to me
so when the world is at war, that our love heal us all
right now baby
make love to me
me, me, me, me
Oh Oh make love to me

Hey, I don't know much about guns but I
I've been shot by you (hey)
And I don't know when I'm gon' die but I hope
That I'm gon' die by you (hey)
And I don't know much about fighting but I
I know I will fight for you (hey)
And just when I ball up my fist I realize
I'm laying right next to you baby

We ain't got nothing but lust
And darling you got enough for the both of us
WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Make love to me
When my days look low
Pull me in close and don't let me go
Make love to me
So when the world's at war
That our love will heal us all (help me let down my guard)

Make love to me (me, me, me, me) oh, oh
Make love to me (me, me, me, me)



SENT A BULLET // LIVE

UserPostedImage UserPostedImage


Stephanie Fierce: "I wrote this song, because I'm a smart woman. I'm not a fool. Before he breaks your heart, break his. They say love is blind, but like a bullet I can see right through your chest"

Stpeh begins singing the song as the more upbeat piano that's partnered with a stronger attitude in its lyrical and vocal deliverance in comparison to the first track. The song which is also driven by an engineered beat is backed with a noise that sounds like a choir group, which can be classified as a "Wall of Sound"; a stategy used to produced an unique orchestra sound . Lyrically, "Sent A Bullet" talks about the idea of breaking someone's heart before that person breaks yours; as Steph fiercely sings "I didn't let you break my heart, cause it rose just like a phoenix" the idea and concept of "Love is Lust" grows stronger lyrically. While it's lyrical content may serve you well, it is the chorus part in which Stephanie Fierce shows off her gutsy pipes that makes the song a favorite. Somewhat similar to "Back to Fierce", you hear Stephanie with a more raspy approach to her voice, especially when she sings "But I sent a bullet to the air, watch it burn as it hit your chest". Steph manages to combine a combination of vocal styles, both high pitch low pitch note reflexes in the matter of seconds; that of only a skilled vocalist. Toward the end of the performance, Stephanie Fierce begins to really belt out the lyrics in which she painfully sings through her crying. Once coming to a finish, she becomes more lively as she transitions to the next performance.

"Sent a Bullet" (Lyrics)

(Spoken)

They say love is blind, but like a bullet I can see right through your chest

(Sung)

I didn't let you break my heart
Cause it rose just like a phoenix
It was strong, and I was sober
Until the fire burned right inside me
My mind feels strong, but my heart is far too weak
To just stand in your way, without falling to your feet
But there's a side to me that you never knew, never knew
All the things you did were never true, never true
And the games we played
you would always, would always win
But I sent a bullet to the air
Watch it burn, as it hit your chest
When It burned, I just cried
Cause I heard it screaming out your name
your name..

When I lay with you
I could stay there
Close my eyes
Feel you here forever
You and me together
Nothing is better

'Cause there's a side to me
That you never knew, never knew,
All the things you'd say,
They were never true, never true,
And the games we played
You would always win, always win.

[Chorus:]
But I sent a bullet,
Watched it burn as it hit your chest,
When it hit I just cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I sent a bullet
And It threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!

Sometimes I wake up by the door,
That heart you caught must be waiting for you
Even now when we're already over
I can't help myself from looking for you.

[Chorus:]
But I sent a bullet,
Watched it burn as it hit your chest,
When it hit I just cried
'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name!

I sent a bullet
And It threw us into the flames
Where it felt something die
'Cause I knew that that was the last time, the last time!, ohhhh!

Oh noooo
Let it burn, oh
Let it burn
Let it burn "



BACK TO FIERCE // LIVE

Stephanie Fierce: I know you guys are used to seeing me perform this song is such high octave. But, can I simmer it down just a bit, I promise I'll keep it fierce, just for you guys, here it goes!

She begins to sing the following in acapella as the spotlight remains:

'You tore her kitty up'; a guitar stroke is done

That line is followed by louder cheering from the audience in excitement of the song being performed. Stephanie Fierce continues to sing in acapella on her highest note possible

'You hid my pic in the corner'; a stronger guitar stoke is played

She pauses for feedback, and the audience cheers. Finally she stands up and heads her way down the stage, she then stays put in one spot, bringing more vocalization to the track. The band begins stomping in corollation with the beat, and Stephanie fierce continues singing calmly giving the song a more calmer tone


"She, she's the deal, I heard that she can even pay your bills,
Sure she got the balls, but honey is that really what you want?

(pause; the instrumentation of guitars kicks back in with full force)

You..... live in fear,
cause of the reputation I've held for so many years,
Boy, It ain't my fault, you shouldn't had left her drawers on the floor.....

(Second Pause; the instrumentation kick back in, this time with a louder stomp)

Raised her skirt, she put your head in the clouds
but whatever she did, she sure ain't bringing me down
You tore her kitty up (Steph grabs her crotch), hid my pic that was in the corner
But lord knows what is waiting next time you bringing her home

Back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), back to fierce (ooh, oh; Steph and the back up singers sing)

(Steph continues playing on her acoustic guitar, giving off funny expressions as she sings some of the lyruis)

She, is a hound, cause she damn sure knows how to get around,
She WORKS overtime, but she don't deal with half the shit I deal
(The band and the back up singer begin to clap to the instrumentation)
She bett' keep quiet, cause I'm going back, haven't you heard..
WHAT I DO TO CHEATERS'; (Steph holds up a dildo that was handed to her, then tosses it as she does a vocal range shift to the next note)
Raised her skirt, she put your head in the clouds
but whatever she did, she sure ain't bringing me down
You tore her kitty up, hid my pic in the corner
But lord knows what is waiting next time you bringing her home

Stephanie Fierce: CLAP!

(Steph and everyone else continue to clap to the song; this time the audience is clapping along)

Back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing ), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), back to fierce (ooh, but)

As the bridge of the song approaches, Steph picks up her vocals game and starts singing full force)

"oh, All of the stories I've heard,
Your friends always told me, I shouldn't had trust you
Your momma even said it, You're the one to keep an eye to
People say crazy things....

(As she finishes the interlude she shifts back to the normal instrumentation of the song, and this time she begins to stomp and clap while singing)

Back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing)), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), be in fear (ooh; the back up singers sing)
I'm back to fierce (ooh; the back up singers sing), back to fierce (ooh, but; Steph sing solely with a strut)

I'm back to fierce (Ooh, flip you hair; Steph sings passionately),
I'm back to fierce (Ooh, work them heels;)
YOU BETTA WORK THEM LADIES!
I'm back to Fierce (ooh, RIP HIS DICK; Steph sing this bit in Screamo vocals),

(As soon as the performance comes to an end, Steph receives a standing ovation from the audience)



LUBE // LIVE

Stephanie Fierce: Can I get a little freaky and funky up in here? (Steph laughs, as she sticks out her tongue to the audience) I don't know if you know this one, but here we go!

Stephanie Fierce wanted this song to be more of a listening song, hence the overall two minutes out of the 4 of just instrumental playing. Stephanie Fierce sings the fast-sung but understandable lyrics, while she's joined by the stop and go guitars played by her backing guitarist, distorted clavichords are also heard to compliment the song. But while the lyrics are quite short, it gets straight to the point in a collective kind of way and that's what she wanted with this song. 'Lube' talks about the feeling of prime time or in sexual terms the feeling of wanting to reach an orgasm. This song works. Because not only is it song about anal sex.....it's also double meaning in the sense of breaking free from something so intense. Something that might be out of reach.. It could be anything really. But she specifically wanted it to be about sex.


"Don’t let the turtle be your inspiration,
You’ve been trying for weeks now
But your blow up sex doll deflated
These days, you gotta go the extra mile… for. It. to. work
You’re losing patience for the feeling
But this feeling is for the fortunate only
and you’re starting to get lonely
You disgusting romantic,
which version do you like the most
This feeling is so elastic but it doesn’t last too long
My strength's incompetent,this feeling in parentheses
I’m going to push it to the edge (sel feesh you),
I’m gonna push myself, (SELFISH YOU!)
I’m gonna hurt myself for you
But I’m now discouraged
AND THEN I FAULT.MY.SELF/ WHEN. I. CAN'T
(selfish-you)
And you get your sense of joy, you get your sense of joy
I’m like the tree that stares into the sun,
Looking for what could kill me.......
And needing more, I'm needing mo-ho-ore, I'm needing more
But the feeling's too intense, the idea lost its senses

Just a little lube, Look how easy it all becomes……….



DYING IN THE AIRWAVES // LIVE

UserPostedImage

Stephanie Fierce: I wrote this song about a year and half ago. This song was a very big song for me. I actually was able to play guitar correctly for the first time in front of a big group of people. It's kind of weird though the message, because it's something I'm experiencing right now at the moment! Here's "Dying in the Airwaves"!

Everyone begins to cheer and Steph begins "Dying in the Airwaves". Immediately at the start, Steph bends her knees down to the ground to sing and play, all while on the floor. The song elctronica based composition is given more of kick, to give the song more edge. She begins playing the melodramatic electric guitar bit with her bassist and second guitarist once again backing her up. First building up with intense discordant chords, her vocals are continue to grow emotional. Steph sings the first verse with deep emotion squinting her eyebrows. Her vocals are heard as warm, mellow and melancholic in the beginning and as well as choruses. Also while singing, the rest of the band focuses on creating the ambient sound founded in the fierce atmosphere with the special pedals and as well by using other specially made instruments. Steph lifts her fingers in motion and stares deeply into the camera while singing.

Once the chorus reaches, Steph sings with all her might and suddenly everything stops. Steph looks up and beings the second verse, which features hard sung/screamo like vocals. The purpose was to sing with emotion despite it sounding like she's holding back vocally. You can hear her 'fear' and presence for once. Her vocals are not about confidence, or ego-like vocals, but within all-that there, confidence somehow makes its way.

After finishing the verse, Steph proceeds to a guitar solo that acts like the chorus, and leading up to that is the chorus repeat. Finishing up, she does the outro and once finished she drops her guitar to the ground. Mouthing "Free".


"Dying in the Airwaves" (Lyrics)

"(Spoken):
They now play me.

(Verse 1 Sung):
They.... eat you, they eat me too
You tamed the noises, they're all clam now
Who these people hunting me now?...They like to listen....

They will slay me, searching for those lost emotions
But how could she not die? How could I not die?
No need to run now, just wake to defeat......

(Chorus Part 1, with SELF back up vocals in parenthesis)
Life Long Gone; (its been long now, its been long)
They forgot to listen; (its been long now, its been long)
Long Life gone; (it’s been long now, its been long)
Only you will listen, In this industry

(Part 2 of Chorus Spoken)
Ghost of your voice, acidic spit from your lips,
They could foster me

(Part 3 Repeat of Chorus, Sung with SELF back up vocals in parenthesis)
Life Long Gone; (its been long now, its been long)
They will hate me; (its been long now, its been long)
They will listen; (it’s been long now, its been long)
They will listen, In the industry

(Verse 2)
So...Fuck the radio, fuck the charts
This shit right here comes from the heart
Rock star pop star, same fucking star
You made me the star
You tore me apart.....
but I'm just a lyrical beast, from the mouth to the sheet
pop music contradictory, searching for radio hits
and I'm also a industry priest, not living life as if diseased
Some hooker whore look a like, I hear this all the damn time!
But they don't know I was doomed
born in a equivocacy womb
raised in miracle tomb
and lost my fucking damn mind
Never will be a thing of the past,
is that a forgivable crime?

(Bridge; Guitar Solo)

(Chorus Sung, with self back up vocals in parenthesis)
Life Long Gone; (its been long now, its been long)
They will hate me; (its been long now, its been long)
They will listen; (it’s been long now, we are dying in the airwaves)
They will listen, In the industry

(Outro)
Now I'm done.
Long life.....GONE
in the airwaves......the airwaves
Dying in the airwaves
I'm dying in the airwaves
Dying in the airwaves
Dying.......




BETTE DAVIS EYES // LIVE

Stephanie Fierce: VH1! You are all so wonderful, I'm really having such a good time. Unfortunately I could only be here for an hour and with commercial breaks I've come close to my last 7 minutes! I would to finish my set and the night with this special song. I covered this song, because my mom use to play it so much when I was younger. I think you all know which one it is.

She's pure as New York snow......


"Bette Davis Eyes" (Lyrics)

"Her hair was Harlow gold,
Her lips a sweet surprise,
Her hands are never cold,
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.

She'll turn her music on,
you won't have to think twice,
She's pure as New York snow,
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.

And she'll tease you,
She'll unease you,
All the better just to please you,
She's precocious,
and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush,
She's got Greta Garbo's stand-off sighs
And she's got Bette Davis Eyes.

She'll let you take her home,
To wet her appetite,
She'll lay you on her throne,
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.

She'll take a tumble on you,
Roll you like you were dice,
Until you come unglued,
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.

She'll expose you,
when she snows you
Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you
She's ferocious,
and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush,
All the boys think she's a spy,
She's got Bette Davis Eyes.

And she'll tease you,
She'll unease you,
All the better just to please you,
She's ferocious
and she knows just what it takes to make a pro blush,
All the boys think she's a spy,
And she's got Bette Davis Eyes. Yeah.

She'll unease you,
Just to please you."

VH1: STEPHANIE FIERCE "Love is Lust" Era Part 1/3

UserPostedImage


Let’s start with the new album, “Love is Lust.” Obviously Lust is the theme of it. The album seems to dwell into many genres. How would you define this album as a whole?

Stephanie Fierce: Well with this album I actually began writing in August of last year. So it's been an on and off process with it. A lot of the songs I wrote in the first few months didn’t actually make this album, because at that time I was writing pop songs in a free spirited kind of mindset and it didn’t really have substance. In top of that I eventually started my intense writing camp for “Life’s Good” where I literally wrote 11 sons in 3 weeks. I officially began recording for this album in January of this year. I actually recorded most of these songs during my tour. But to answer your question, this album truly embodies my roots in music. Each album I've sort of reinvented my sound, and with this album I took everything and evolved it into one body of work. The album has different sections, you have the R&B ballad/heartbreak songs that resemble my first and fourth album, you have the electronic and grime pop songs that resemble my second album, you have the indie and more experimental songs that resemble my fifth album and you have new explorations on sounds that resemble my sixth and third album.


Who or what inspired you to start playing the piano so much on this new record?

Stephanie Fierce: I consider myself more of a singer, than a pianist. I think someone like Alicia Lena embodies that more respectfully, and I truly admire her for that. However, I actually didn't take that approach as a way of just wanting a piano on certain songs. When I write a song, at least most of the time, I tend to do it the old fashion way by simply playing with the keys and building a base for possible lyrics. Some songs obviously I was interested in making them into piano driven songs, but certain songs just organically developed that way. To experiment with that approach what I did do is work with different types of piano from different eras of music. I think the fact that this album is emotionally driven, it automatically brought out the piano anyways.

Just like the piano, electric guitar solo's seem to be present in the album. How long did it take you to develop your skills as a guitarist to even compose a guitar solo?

Stephanie Fierce: I personally just love ruining the sensitivity of a song with an electric guitar. I'm a criminal (laughs). I don't play the guitar on this album to be taken more seriously, because playing the guitar is not something that automatically makes you better in my opinion. I feel like a guitar solo in personification represents sign language but with guitars. When I wrote "Mouth and Drums", people were shocked to find out that the song is actually about me trying out an instrument and developing my skills, just as when you first learn how to talk. It's a language and artistically I look at it that way.


Has your heritage influenced your music?

Stephanie Fierce: I wouldn't say my heritage has influenced my music. Where I grew up definitely did. I was raised in Manhattan and I was considered a rebel in my family, because I was never into Latin music, that my family listened to when they had birthday parties and celebrations.

You and Johnny Johnson were considered to be one of Hollywood's perfect couple. After your divorce, things obviously changed for you in your personal life, especially after having a daughter. How is your friendship with Johnny Johnson now? How did it effect you when making this album?

Stephanie Fierce: We were't perfect, we were just in love. Johnny was my first love and to be honest and it was very hard for me to consider a divorce but all that is in the past. Me and Johnny have the best relationship any friends could possibly have. It's kind of interesting how things have changed so fast, being with Nicolas now, as it was a bit hard for me to fall in love again with another man, but I feel like a I was able to conquer that feeling of lust. Once again, that's why this album is so personal to me. If anything Johnny is someone I admire and look up to, I learn a lot from my ex husband musically.


As of late, many people are taking notice of your album releases and your consistency with bringing out new music to your fans. Some artist have even gone to say that you've released albums to stay relevant in the music industry. What is your take on that?

Stephanie Fierce: Excuse me while I go in to one of my rants (laughs). You know I'm not the type of artist who is given a list of demos and then goes into some random studio, and begins the recording process to please a music pimp. If it were like that, I'd have 20 albums by now. I write and produce all of my records. I'm a musician. About 80% of my music has been written solely by me. Making music is hard work. I mean if people are truly concerned about how many albums I'm releasing, they're either in fear or they feel threatened by me. I don't understand why people even bring that up to be honest, what law out there says we can't release albums as we please.I personally don't make music to stay relevant, I make music because that's what I enjoy doing. Being relevant is not hard for me and it's not something I have to work for. I'm a hard worker for my craft. I like to get up at 3:30 in the morning and just write a song, then spend about 10 hours recording and mixing it. I mean is it a crime to enjoy making music? I mean, I grew up with music and it's been a part of me all my life. My father would sit me 4-5 long hours of just singing on the piano EVERYDAY, until I got each song and note perfected. I was musically abused when I was younger and because of it I breathe, live and birth music. I work hard at what I do and some people just aren't used to seeing that kind of hard work. To me I don't feel like I need any more hits, if they come, they come but in the end I have already made an impact and my focus is making sure I make music people will enjoy and make their money's worth.

As we've discussed, obviously You've released an eclectic range of albums, which one would say truly defines you as an artist?

Stephanie Fierce: I would say that every album I've done has shaped me to become the person I am today. That's why I don't consider myself a "pop artist" sometimes, because If I look back on each album, I can say that I've learned something incredibly new each time. As I said before, "Love is Lust" truly represents the roots of my music. I hate these pick and choose questions because I rarely could answer them with the right connotation (laughs), but this question in specific I can simply just say that every album I’ve released truly defines me as an artist.

If you were to write a song meant for a woman to sing, for example "Slap My Bass", what message would you want her to convey?

Stephanie Fierce: I personally write my music for all types of people in a wide spectrum. While I do have my "female anthems" as they like to call it, I feel that anyone has the right to sing the songs I make. It's just a matter on whether you can relate to the songs. People have this one dimensional idea of what song's purpose may be. In the world there all kinds of people and sometimes people just want something that's a bit out of the usual and I think my music serves that purpose sometimes. I wrote songs that are disgusting to people, but that doesn't mean everyone will find it that way. I live up to the people that understand me as an artist, not the people who don't. I don't expect everyone to understand the psychological concept of "Dear Producer...Stephanie Sampled a Tree", when I have songs like "Love Feels Like Grenades" and "Hot Shot". Then again I don't expect people to like "Dying in the Airwaves" or "Mouth & Drums", when they like songs like "Back to Fierce" and "The Bitch". My music is not one dimensional and doesn't fall in a black and white spectrum.


Are you addicted to your fans? Do they truly influence your records?

Stephanie Fierce: In some ways, yes. I'm constantly looking at what my fans have to say because they are the people that I work for. The relationship me and my fans have is almost like having a relationship with a beautiful cloud. You see one and you stare at it for a while, then it goes away. Then another similar one comes along and it goes away. It's like they are always there, and when I'm feeling down, I just look up and I know that one of them will be there most of the time or eventually. Very corny, but it's how I look at it.

Does everybody in your family call you by your artist name Stephanie Fierce? When was the last time someone called you Stephanie Rios?

Stephanie Fierce: My mother who passed away was the one that actually started calling me Miss Fierce. I eventually then started calling myself Stephanie Fierce in her honor. I was always considered to be an active and outgoing person. But to answer your question in specific, not everyone calls me Stephanie Fierce. Most of the people that know me personally just call me "Steph" and I like it that way. My grandparents however will always call me Stephanie Rios and there's no way to go around it (laughs). The last person who called me Stephanie Rios was my friend from Throat Cutters, cause he wanted to piss me off (laughs)

What's your biggest guilty pleasure?

Stephanie Fierce: Looking and reading tabloids and blogs. I'm a a fan of all that shit (laughs). Hey.... at least I'm honest about it.

Does being covered by tabloids make it harder to do your job?

Stephanie Fierce: It does not in reality, even though it may effect my mood sometimes. For example, if I see something like a rumor, I tend to just shrug it off, but if I see something that is true it might bother me depending on how revealing it may be. I'm human and there are certain things I rather people not know. However, my celebrity life has nothing to do with my approach towards music. Me arguing with a blow up sex doll on twitter has nothing to do with the quality of my music, my celebrity persona is what I'm portraying not my sound.

You just re-launched Hot Eye Records. How does it feel to be sitting on the big chair again?

Stephanie Fierce: I’m very excited. I’ve been meeting with a lot of artists the past couple of weeks and they've been patiently waiting, next week will be a big week for all of my acts. My love for making music will always remain, and I look forward to working with these artists, I truly believe in them and I know they are going to do well. Extremely talented. I have four acts I will be announcing very soon, and I think the label is kicking off to a good start and that's good news for me.

Stephanie Fierce: Aww thank you Magie :) I had so much fun performing, and even though things got a bit emotional, I was able to enjoy it. Really means a lot thanks :)

Stephanie Fierce: Well technically it is now. I don't even sign with Stephanie Rios anymore, so you are forgiven ;)

Stephanie Fierce: Thank you so much, I think we both look up to each other in big ways and that's why when be both started we connected. But the fact that you look up to me is an honor. Thank you :)

erich: good to know. now i'll never be ripped off on ebay,when purchasing "authentic" autographed underpants...again.

karoliena: *aghast*... YOU are the kind of freak that buys women's underwear on ebay?!

erich: no! i signed a pair of clean underpants once,so i figured i couldnt be the only one to do this.

karoliena: really..you signed underwear? you didnt find that...weird? not even in the slightest?

erich:of course. i find the entire signing things for people concept odd. but i am not going to be an ass and refuse someone who wants an autograph.
