• My boyfriend
    and me

    I was born in April '69 as the youngest child of eight children, I have three brothers and four sisters. As a preemie I live with a severe hearing loss which is compensated by a hearing aid. Due to this handicap I visited a special boarding school for hearing-impaired people at the age of three to seventeen. The main part of my childhood took place in this boarding school, I only were at home during the weekends and holidays - tough time for a child. After finishing school with a high-school diploma I've started a training as a management assistance in wholesale and foreign trade. With the successful examination I moved back home!

       
      In '92 I got a job at the police and have stayed there since then. Even though I enjoyed to be finally home with my parents, I decided to move into my own apartment in '95, in the near of my workplace. In 2000 I fell in love with my boyfriend and we're a dear wacky couple *lol*. My boyfriend is a police officer and I first met him in '92 but fell in love with him eight years later during an internet chat, true! We moved into a common apartment in '98 and loves our home in an original Art Noveau house.
       
      I've started to collect on Stevie Nicks in the mid 80s. First I was interested in her music but later into any kind of collectibles as photos, fanzines, clippings etc., almost everything! During the last 20+ years I have built a nice collection and have met alot great fans. I still enjoy Stevie's music but have reduced now my interest onto special things as photos and paperstuff.
       
      I can't say when I have started to become a Sharon Tate fan. I remember that I have seen the mini tv show "Valley of the Dolls" with Lisa Hartman back in the 80s. I really liked this show because of the story and have tried to get more infos after that. Sharon was on my mind during all the years but I didn't really collect on her. It happened sometime in the early 2000s that I kept the articles on her and since then I got caught ;-)
       
      Currently I'm at home because of a serious disease and live on a small pension. Though I have less money at the moment I just can't stop collecting! I think I won't get away from this anymore *lol*, it's really a to and fro between Stevie Nicks and Sharon Tate!
       
      I hope you enjoy my website and comes back very often.
      All the best to you all, always,
