People say she's on medication. I can't tell if they're trying to insult her (which is awful because I am mentally ill and still am very capable of being a functioning human being) or they're serious. I'm replying to a comment, not the original post.

She cautioned me that though Bebe is a kind person with a good heart, she is also highly self-important and that some or more of the accounts in her book are fictional, and that the book as a whole is exaggerated. I bought it because I've recently become more interested in rock'n roll, so I was in it for the stories about the musicians. She provides but also comes off as delusional and includes as many references to her beauty as possible. I suspect that Bebe made sure she included every compliment (perceived or no), that she received on her looks from another famous person. Bebe is an important 'groupie' of the era, but I suspect her of milking her glory days for a legendary image, that she perhaps doesn't deserve. I agree with your analysis, and I too had the feeling of liking her less and less as I read further in. I think that she is considered legendary primarily because of the paternity of her daughter, and her contributions to the music of her time are minimal and contested at best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689441876590630882.post-43694619964419516972016-03-27T17:35:58.921-04:002016-03-27T17:35:58.921-04:00After reading many excerpts of the book, these com...After reading many excerpts of the book, these comments and watching some Bebe performance videos, I would say that these comments don't just smack of promotion, they smack of shill.

Nevertheless, she'd been acting in a rather smart way (not being particularly witty or literate) and she did know how to adapt to the era she lived in. She did exactly what society taught her. She had to be "someone" so she went after those men. I honestly don't think that Bebe would have achieved musically as much as she has, having not been pretty or dating those guys. Her book is rather fun to read, however totally unreliable as majority of groupies' memoirs had been (Cyrinda Foxe, Catherine James etc etc). It's always interesting to see how one decides to write down and narrate his own story, but it's almost inevitable for the harsh truth to be omitted. Having been given the chance to talk to her, I'd say she's real polite. Based on people's opinons on Bebe (people who'd been around her and got to know her well), she is not the archetypal of what we'd call a "nice person" but then again who are we or they to judge. xxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689441876590630882.post-14206119550026667012012-03-20T04:03:39.944-04:002012-03-20T04:03:39.944-04:00This topic was really educational and nicely writt...This topic was really educational and nicely written.Louis Vuitton Outlethttp://www.louis-vuitton-2012.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689441876590630882.post-59466928033289459092010-07-21T23:23:00.384-04:002010-07-21T23:23:00.384-04:00http://amprofile.blogspot.comhttp://amprofile.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4689441876590630882.post-37448475402729991942010-06-30T14:00:48.993-04:002010-06-30T14:00:48.993-04:00You got me googling to see if there are more new r...You got me googling to see if there are more new reviews and interviews and there are.

She has a very kind side but her negative aspects get in the way most of the time. That's why I chose not to associate with her anymore. As much as I agree that she is completely obsessed with herself and has an unhealthy desire to be famous, she is also just a human being. Who in this society doesn't want to be beautiful and famous? It is just unfortunate that she is in her 50's and is so delusional and self centered and she still thinks she needs to prove to everyone how important she is. It's weird because nobody cares. I don't see how she could be a very happy person based on what I've encountered. And knowing her, I have no doubt whatsoever that she is the one commenting on here and promoting herself.

Bebe's book is a tedious and somewhat delusional ode to herself. Sure, she screwed some rockers. And... so what? She was one of thousands. Her legacy as "legend" exists mostly in her head and those of the many pseudonyms she creates for herself to post praises about herself. Just check out the Amazon "reviews" for her book. Bebe is well-known for Googling herself obsessively and posting multiple anonymous messages about herself posing as a "fan." Want to correspond with her? Just mention her name in a blog or something.

Not what all y'all think.<br />I love her for how BRAVE she is.<br />I love her because she is not perfect.<br />Flawed and brilliant.<br />That's how I like my stars.<br />I like this blog- I think your opinion has some legs.

I got the book from the library eons ago, and yes, she comes off as sufficiently self-centered. As you've showcased, she did a magnificent job of compiling endless photographs, which make the book intriguing. But I happen to not think that there is anything legendary or iconic about going to bed with a few musicians. I can say that the book only grows more narcissistic in nature as it carries on. The names get smaller, and then you're left with her mental instability and deep longing for fame. But alas, this is just my opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own! I just think its a little funny that all of these pro- Bebe comments seem to have an ounce of promotion in them. Anyway, do let us know what you think! xo.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12678588829713063784noreply@blogger.com
