Intertwined Hearts

Story of my father figure

Things were going down a different path in 1988, As for personal life, it changed. Slash and I were about a month into this whole relationship. I have to say it was pretty good life; having an amazing job, doing whatever I wanted with Slash and going to so many parties. Even in a short amount of time things were moving fast. We gave each other what we wanted and we did it when we wanted to.

But I was getting close to Steven again, and we were making more memories.

Steven and I have such an complex relationship because for many years he acted like a dad to me. When I was really young my dad left home, and it was left at that. Nobody would tell me why, I just kinda woke up to it one day. My mom had problems too, and when we moved to Boston, Steven and her used to smoke their troubles away. She met him at some joint or something, and he really digged her cause she had everything he wanted. So they got hooked up together during the first years of Aerosmith, I was probably like five or six when I first met him. There was just this connection when I met him. I thought he was so cool, he dressed cool, he had cool long dark hair (which made me think all guys wore their hair long). He would go on tour with his Aerosmith, and then come back home and bring my mom and I something back. He'd spoil me and I really bonded with him and he and I had this unbreakable relationship. i remember when he was in town and he saw that I got into my mothers makeup and jewelry and said that "I wanted to be beautician". He loved me and he loved her so he married my mom and I somehow became his daughter.
Mid 70's my mom and him got into a really big fight. He said some stupid shit and she said some stupid shit and that was it. So they were distant and I didn't see him until I got a modeling job in late seventies and I met this playboy model named Bebe who was so incredibly friendly from all the stuff I've heard that models are stuck up rich bitches. She met Steven, and he fell head over heels for her. But I was able to see him again, and I told him what was going on with my mom and how I had been doing, that I liked being a model for the clothing and makeup, but I was more interested in making the clothing and doing the clothing. He looked at me, with his gleaming eyes and said, " Baby, I promise someday I'm gonna make you a fashion queen." Of course I had to be older, because I was so young then and didn't have have too much experience. But I truly wanted to do this, so early eighties I dropped high school and went to beauty school where I professionally learned how to be a beautician and make clothes. So while I was learning how to master the arts of fashion, Steven was going through rehab, and I didn't see him for a while. Until he and the rest of Aerosmith became "sober" and I saw him, I was twenty and he asked me if I wanted to me, " Aerosmith's costume/makeup manager". And of course I said yes, crying tears of joy in his arms. He was determined to make my dream come true I guess, and I felt incredibly lucky. That day, he took me out and I got my very first tattoo. My inked arm of roses. Probably not the first tattoo you should get, but I was feeling good that day. Here we are now, and I'm living my dream and so is he and what a journey it's been to get there.
