Where do I begin? How do I write an introduction about a woman who encompasses so many incredible qualities? There is a saying; to each his own. And I realize I don't know Bret Michaels or his tastes. However, if he didn't give the final V.I.P. pass to Cindy 'Rodeo' Steedle. I honestly think he missed out on one hell of a woman. The Q. is infamous for being biased. I like who I like, sue me.
I first noticed Rodeo on the 'Rock of Love' casting episodes on V-Spot. Miss Steedle had me cracking up with talk of vibrators and multiple orgasms. Instantly you knew she was funny and vivacious. Through the Internet and AT&T, Rodeo has been most generous in allowing me to get a glimpse of who she is as a woman.
At 39, Rodeo is the oldest woman vying for Bret Michaels' heart on 'Rock of Love.' During the taping of 'Rock of Love' Miss Steedle had cancer. I asked Cindy if Mr. Michaels knew of her condition. "I never said a word because it was his time to shine and not worry about me. I wanted him to get to know the real Cindy that cared for him, his kids, family, band, friends and his ROCKIN' FANS!" At the end of taping, Cindy underwent surgery to remove the cancer. She in 100 % cancer free at this time. However, that was not her first battle with cancer. I learned this woman with a heart of gold had been paralyzed. (WTF... once paralyzed and now her body has been in countless fitness magazines. I am truly a miserable lazy cow.) We talked briefly about her time in the 'Rock of Love' mansion and her experience. Her answer, "No matter what, I am a fighter. I never let anything stand in my way of my dreams. I want to show people around the world that if you believe in yourself; dreams do come true no matter what happens in your life. You just have to believe in yourself and your dreams will come true in the end. I can't give up now. Not when God gave me a chance to walk out of a wheel chair and live through 11 years of cervical cancer to fight to live again. NOTHING will hold me down Quanda.....NOTHING.... "
A southern belle, Rodeo is big on giving back. Thanksgiving is a time of being thankful for the blessings in our lives. Cindy participates with her church in feeding those less fortunate. Every X-mas she purchases gifts and wraps them. Her and her son deliver them to needy and/or hospitalized children. Cindy wants the VH-1 viewer and future 'Rock of Love' fans to know that she truly cares about others. However, don't think she will take any shit off of anyone. When ask what message she would like to pass on the 'Rock of Love' Blogspot reader, she said, "I will always try to make everyone feel loved whether its a stranger on the street or a loved one. Everyone is equal because everyone puts their pants on the same way. I do everyday. We're all the SAME, living and learning each day. We are all God's creations. Don't miss the premiere of 'Rock of Love' on July 15th. You are going to be entertained. Keep it Rockin' on."
A southern rockin' Qmoment!
