i was reading through the smoking gun archives and found their collection of backstage riders from nearly 150 musicians. it's pretty interesting to read through, yet almost disgusting how pampered they are. >> link <<

anyway, what would you put on your list? feel free to get as crazy or outrageous with your demands as you want... many celebrities certainly do.


(btw, i wasn't sure which forum to place this in, so feel free to move it if it would be better suited elsewhere)

Nope. Had my daughter 4 years ago. Still lactating some and not breastfeeding anymore either. You don't even have to have a baby to start lactating. All you need is enough nipple stimulation. And I mean a lot of it.
