None, I'm not much of an alcohol drinker most of the time.

But I am on my 2nd pot of coffee!

I'm wavering between the desire the bite that plum...or spank it!

Did they find the wig...the reddish brown one?

I wish they would really do one of those traveling exhibitions across the U.S. like they did with Princess Di's wedding dress and clothes and the Titanic exhibits. That would be so cool. That way maybe fans who can't come to MN have the chance to see the things. The clothes, the shoes, jewelry, hand written lyrics, etc.

They should do it the way the David Bowie "Bowie Is..." travelling exhibit was handled. It's amazing.

Which Susan Rogers started, not Prince.

Seriously, Bart?
And your point is?

Guess what: when people say things like "Prince recorded all his shows" they don't actually mean he ran out to the mixer before every show to press the red button himself either.

.

He didn't order Susan to start collecting all tapes. That's something she did because he was careless with them.

It's not like she could've done anything behind his back either, is it? He obviously agreed to it, even if it was Susan's idea first. Who cares.

Does anyone think he would have been able to catalogue all of this stuff himself, record music and tour?

.

This is utterly childish. He could have easily employed people. Instead clothing etc was stuffed into garages etc. Look at all the effort the Graceland folks are putting into preserving the outfits vs Prince's utter lack of effort. And we now have several tales of the same happening to audio and video tapes, which is very worrying.

BartVanHemelen said:

My personal feeling is that Prince was still relatively young and he was just beginning to discuss opening PP as a museum. He was just too busy creating music and touring to be worried about all of his "stuff". He was invovled in a lot of things and I am also guilty of just letting "stuff" fall on the backburner. Maybe he was a procrastinator? I do feel that he had very good intentions, but did he really need all those shoes? LOL

No - just a lot of TV dinners.

There's no such thing as a hoarder if one can afford to be one. He was a collector much like Andy Warhol was.

oooooh there are real hoarders, those who can afford it and those who cannot

Inside Paisley Park, archivists have discovered thousands of costumes, shoes, notebooks, guitars, and more

Last week, on the one-year anniversary of Prince's death, the New York Times ran a pretty fascinating interview with the archivist charged with cataloging the thousands of times left behind in his Paisley Park estate.

Angie Marchese and her team have spent the last year going room by room. So far, they've cataloged more than 7,000 items, and they still have a ways to go. As Marchese told the Times, that number amounts to less than 5% percent of the compound's holdings.

^^^ Video on the above link.

That's unique this story came up in regards of me being the exact same. I have shoes all over. Six inch heels is always a must.

If 7000 items is 5% that means we are talking 140,000 items. That is a lot. The ST/NYT articles differ a bit but they both have the 7000 number.

--He was not a hoarder he had talked about turning Paisley Park into a museum 20 years ago. He had already started working on it. You need stuff to put in the museum and you also realize he was not going to let other people profit off of his belongings. His options would have been to throw the stuff away or auction it for charity but he gave a lot of money to charity.

He obviously didn't have all this stuff properly catalogued otherwise Graceland wouldn't be doing it right now. He was a hoarder. Nothing embarrassing or something to get personally offended over.

It would stand to reason that he did stash away stuff to the point of "hoarding"...he was intensely private, didn't completely trust ONE person at all and hoarding is seen as a coping method. This revelation simply demonstrates his humanity.

Good catch! I did not see that at first -- yes, I can see the "transparent wedge" now!!

.

Very clever, Prince!

This made me laff cuz in a recent interveiw for her book Mayte mentions the "furry Ugg boots" and that P never wore flats and that even with those boots he would "stand on tiptoe" cuz being in heels gives you a different body posture.

But I had peeped those lucite wedges in performance in those boots when he sat on the piano and was dangling his legs, so I what like, Huh? What is she talking about? They had heels inside the boot bottoms!

Anyway, that made me laff cuz I figured other fans would've noticed cuz we notice erreythang about P.

And as for dat azz...Sooo plump and round like a ripe plum.

I thought the same thing (regarding his Arse...). He looks good amd healthy in that picture. I don't remember his arse looking so voluptuous in any other outfit

I do. Check out any photo from the D&P era. Especially the ones with the matador trousers...

I mean... you don't even need to see it to know that it is fine:

Putting stuff uncataloged in a garage etc. isn't "starting a museum". First rule is: having a proper catalog.

Yeah right

WTH was he doing with his time ! Lazy arse !!!!!!!!
