Jimi Hendrix
Rick James
Liberace

and a whole slew of others

I think he got the style from Jimi, but that the intention was to convey the same type of a look the artists in the New Romantic movement at the time had.

I'm impressed!

Thank you. Of course, this being the org, someone will be along in a couple of minutes to tell me that, even with all that behind me, I don't know shit.

Hahahahaha! No doubt!

Little Richard

Sly Stone

Larry Graham (both as part of the Family Stone and as the leader of GCS)

His Daddy

And probably some dude who worked at the local carwash who had a perm, an old ass polyester shirt, and some pimp boots, talkin' 'bout "See, I wasn't allowed to make it 'cause I was jus' too real for dey asses".

etc, etc, etc

LOL men were rocking ruffled shirts loud in the 1960s and 70s

I still like that Rick James said they stole the style from him

As we know, cocaine, ruffled shirts, and tight-ass button pants are one hell of a cocktail.

I think Prince wore it better than Jimi and Rick, but Liberace he was right up there

He liked Marc Bolan's entire wardrobe.

I already have holy water sitting on my dresser!

I strongly suspect there's a maniac out there
who photoshops hints of glans on every Prince's pic s.he finds.
They look so fake. I should know, I have one.
To misquote a dickhead: "FAKE GLANS!!!"

Now we're talkin'.

I would have bitten his irresistible ass

He made me post it, your Honor!
And from beyond the grave!
I mean the urn!


No, you're right.
Damn you orgies... er... orgiers...

Oh leave me alone. Now I'm doomed.

I'll say it's "your" fault.
