Oh, man, I haven't seen that pic in a while. :D They were such a great little trio. Sometimes I wonder if Johnny and Winona weren't really meant to be and it just got screwed up by fame and being young and stuff...but if they can't be together, I totally ship Slater/Winona in this weird, freaky way. He said last year that he'd always had a thing for her and that she was still his dream girl or something and I just found it so cute. [/dork]

hehe they were a great trio.
I read that Winona's father put off her engagement/marriage to Johnny because she was too young at the time (17?).

But I love Vanessa+Johnny. I think their relationship by far surpasses the one he had with Winona.
I guess time teaches a person a lot. I'm not sure they would have stayed together because it seems like Johnny has come a loong way. Both of them would have changed lots.

Are Slater/Wino actually together though? Or did he just pronounce his love out of nowhere?

*sigh* I've found I've been moving away from celeb gossip lately- maybe it's the Depp philosophy?

She was young, yeah. He always picks younger girls (yay!) but he's too fond of the skinny chicks (boo). I can convert him, no problem. ;)

Well, yeah, they're in v. different places now. I think he and Winona were good because they were so similar, whereas he and Vanessa seem to complement each other because they're different, in a way. She did date Slater for a little while during/after Heathers (awesome movie, btw), and I just have a weird fondness for the pairing. Hee.

Celeb gossip is my guilty semi-pleasure, but if I ever get famous I'm definitely taking his route and just staying out of most of that; I think he's quite wise in that respect. Hollywood seems to be a lot like high school-- you can have a good time and all, but the weirdness and the status stuff and clique-yness is just bizarre, and (in my case) it's best to find your niche and your small group of friends and just do your own thing kinda on the side and only mingle in the big group occasionally. I like that, "Depp philosophy." :D

mmm that's so very true!
Kate Moss anyone? (argh. didn't like that pair very much..)
hehe, I'm sure you could convert him! =]

I just have a weird fondness for the pairing fair enough. As I have a weird fondness for the Tim/Johnny pairing hehee. But I think being in a relationship with someone different can be more rewarding, as in more can be learnt on both sides? Everyone's different though. mm I don't know where i'm going with this.
When i first read about the 'wino' tat a while ago, aside from giggling at the expense of the word "forever," =D I thought that if it was so strong and it was 'meant to be' then they'd still be together. But time shows it was otherwise.

Hollywood seems to be a lot like high school..tihii you're right ( ... )

I miss seeing Noni in Burton movies so much. I wish they had done more together.

I say give it a chance.
I have so much confidence in Tim Burton, the cast, and Sondheim's musical- I don't think you'll be disappointed.

No probs! glad you found the article interesting, and you liked the pic
