Editing Stevie Nicks (section)

=== Style ===
Nicks's style has remained the same throughout her years in the spotlight and even "at 60 she is still working the gossamer tunics and shawls that have influenced two generations of Stevie acolytes and given her performances the feel of a Wiccan ritual," writes ''New York Times'' reporter Ruth La Ferla.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/fashion/09STEVIE.html |title=Still Dressing for Stevie |newspaper=The New York Times |date=April 8, 2009 |access-date=July 20, 2015 |archive-date=March 17, 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150317123050/http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/09/fashion/09STEVIE.html |url-status=live |last1=Ferla |first1=Ruth La }}</ref>

In the late '70s, Nicks began receiving threatening mail accusing her of witchcraft. Nicks told the ''Los Angeles Times'' in 2013, "In the beginning of my career, the whole idea that some wacky, creepy people were writing, 'You're a witch, you're a witch!' was so arresting. And there I am like, 'No, I'm not! I just wear black because it makes me look thinner, you idiots.'" The witch rumors frightened Nicks so much that she gave up black for a period of time (approximately 1978 to 1982), instead opting to wear colors such as apricot and sea foam green. Nicks later stated that she felt ugly in the new colors, ultimately gave up, and went back to black in 1983. That same year, when asked what she thought about people who still believed the rumor, Nicks said, "I don't like it all and I wish people would stop thinking about that, because I spent thousands of dollars on beautiful black clothes and had to stop wearing them for a long time, because a lot of people scared me."<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/tv/showtracker/la-et-st-stevie-nicks-american-horror-story-20140107-story.html|title = Stevie Nicks talks 'American Horror Story': 'I was scared to go there'|website = [[Los Angeles Times]]|date = January 8, 2014}}</ref>

Nicks sings about the store where her iconic style all started in the song "Gypsy" on Fleetwood Mac's 13th studio album ''Mirage'', released in 1982. In the song, Nicks sings of a store called the Velvet Underground, a boutique in San Francisco, California, where famous rockers like Janis Joplin and Grace Slick were known to shop.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.inherownwords.com/gypsy_velvet_popup.html|title=Stevie Nicks on Gypsy|publisher=In Her Own Words|access-date=November 15, 2017|archive-date=July 6, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180706151508/http://www.inherownwords.com/gypsy_velvet_popup.html|url-status=live}}</ref>
