Oh, I loved this book and suffered for her as I read it..It was
a well written profile and character development of an intelligent
and special woman who may not have fulfilled her potential except
in her support of her friends and in the writing of this book.
I felt the flavor of her childhood and eventual life in NewYorkCity
and elsewhere..I cared about her and for her...It made me think
and wonder what other autobiographies I could read... She was
not a groupie...but a wife and mother who happened to love
musicians and artists and had a gift for working with special
people...She was an artist in her own right who should be
recognized and admired for her flair and design and aesthetics
and love and light...I highly recommend this book...Next I plan
to read Nora, The real Molly Bloom.
By the way, she is an inspiration to my actress daughter for her
new role and I really found Cyrinda Foxe very likeable. Too bad
I did not get to be her friend....except through her book and
her art on ovoworks/smug.mug..

This biography is about a fairly shallow women who refuses to take responsibility for herself, for what happened to her. She went after Steve Tyler with a vengence, knowing that he was a drug addict, a conceited maniac, knowing his past history with women (some not even old enough to truly qualify as "women" yet). And then she stayed with him even though he terrorized her? Doesn't make a lot of sense. She doesn't even mention her own drug addiction. She paints herself as an innocent who found herself helplessly victimized but she was too savvy, too experienced (she was of the Warhol crowd) going into the marriage to fit that role. Basically, I found myself thinking that this was a woman who wasted her time feeling sorry for herself instead of learning how to do something that would get her a job. Ok, being married to Steve Tyler couldn't have provided her with the safe haven she was looking for but a little more insight into herself, a little more honesty would have made this book a whole lot more credible.

Extremely sensetive and acurate account of a real life experience , living as the wife of one of the most important rock stars in the world. Cyrinda Foxe emerged from a very trendy and creative Warhol crowd and with true intentions of deep love and happines, plunged into a marriage of HELL. Being from Europe, her explanation of the daily life of rock and roll was fascintating for me. I know that people would like to think that stars are perfect but we are all mortal and full of aberations. The most fascinating and touching point was how Cyrinda was able with out any help to extract herself and her daughter Mia from that living inferno. If you are an adult and want the truth beyond the hype and glory of corporate rock and roll, this is the book you have to read. Sorry for my English but I am not from your country.

Im going to make this short & sweet. I found 99% of this book totally unbelievable. I mean, geeze, give Tyler a break, there is no way he could have been that messed up and still front the best rock band in the world. And that stuff about Tyler and Perry, I just dont buy it, nope.
 Non stop excitement!!! August 4, 2000
For those of you that are "Aerosmith" fans, just go ahead and buy this book. I could not put it down until I completely finished reading it---fun, bold and exciting. You will love it. Whether it is completely true or not, we don't know. But Cyrinda sure makes it sound like it is. She did not have an easy life with Steven and does tend to whine about it at times, but who really believes that living with a rock star is easy!
