That girl that I was talking about.. the one that was kinda wearing the bed sheet "quilt" thing.... Prince brought her up on stage last night and she was wearing the SAME thing..... GROSS.....
My clothes from Thursday night went STRAIGHT in the wash.... and I really wonder if THIS girl washed that "thing" she was wearing... It was HUGE and dragging all over the place..... EWWWW
And that was not the worst part.....
She acted like a fool up on stage....
I was waiting for her to pass out and tumble off the stage...
I was in the FRONT row and I was by the area where all the stage hands gathered and they were all laughing and making fun of her.....
How embarressing.....
When we left the Arena I heard at least 5 groups of people saying how stupid she looked and what a fool she made of her self.....
Not only cause of what she was wearing.. but the strange way she acted....
COME ON.....
Have fun up there.. be a bit shy or star struck.. but don't make an Ass out of yourself..
Sure, she got on stage with Prince.... but basically to be made fun of...
Very sad.....
And this has NOTHING to do with the fact that she was on the heavier side.. I would not of cared if she was Rail thin..... she just was dressed like an un made bed and acted SO oddly.....
Again the whole section I was with was making fun of her.....
You gotta have SOME class people!!!!!

come on, now. be nice. i saw her too and i thought she was great - ol' girl was FREAKIN OUT! she reminded me of those girls you see in old footage of the beatles who start screaming and crying and getting all flustered and stuff...and it wasn't even her first time on stage!

i'm not quite sure how to categorize her outfit...a quilt? an apron? an apron quilt? i dunno. but i thought she was adorable.

She didn't care because she was happy. And because of her, Prince actually let some of the biggest women he could find on the stage, which I do believe is a first. Leave the girl alone. She had a good time and that's all that matters.

I'm sorry. having fun is one thing.... being excited is great..... being over weight is fine.....
But have SOME respect for yourself...
It was not just ME..... you should of heard the way some of the security and Princes crew were talking about her... MEAN MEAN things.
I was just saying it was a bit embarressing.....
I think its great when people have FUN and get crazy.... But our whole section was waiting for this chick to fall off the stage and die or something...
Just not a pretty site.....

well, if what you're saying about the way people were treating her is accurate, then it says more about them than it does about her, really, doesn't it?

watch the movie "hairspray" and get back to me when you've learned how to do the roach.

She was partying BEFORE the show started and I guess Prince noticed. I was right behind her in the 3rd row up off the floor. We all know Prince loves those who love him, and she must have really loved him. I'm not mad at her. Her outfit was ugly as hell, but if that's what it takes to get noticed, it worked. She was so happy when she left there last night that I'm sure she did not care one way or another about what people had to say about her. You see we are still talking about her now. Anyway, Prince made fun of a lot of people, so what. I'm sure that tall white girl at the end thought she was jammin and Prince was making faces behind her back. It's all in fun. Chill!

No matter how she was, is it really necessary to bring up what mean things people had to say and continue to ridicule her? Let's face it.... a lot of "people" can be superficial jerks dying to conform to what other people think is cool, and ridiculing anyone who doesn't fit their clichés. I haven't seen this girl, but please... let's stop this.

if by some chance she sees or hears about this thread today, i only hope it makes her shake her stuff that much harder at tonight's show.

I think its SO funny.....
When there was some posts on here about some FAT CHICKS people were like
agree's 100% about how terrible they looked and how it was a disgrace to have them on stage.....
So I guess its ok for a girl who is just a bit heavy to go on stage IN A BED SHEET and act like she is going to barf on stage with her mouth hanging open
..... I guess people would rather see that than a fatter chick..
VERY SAD!!!!!
Yes, this is all kinda mean..... and its sad that we ALL look at things like this and shake our heads.....
But maybe JUST MAYBE other people will think twice when they act certain ways...
If I went on stage and acted like she did I would certainly EXPECT every one to be laughing at me and making fun of me.....
I would DESERVE it.....
I won't bring it up again...
But God, if she is there again I hope she is not wearing that big dirty SMELLY quilt again for the 3rd nite in a row.....

We don't use the word fat, WE use big boned, and what difference does it make anyway? As long as she was having fun and not bothering anyone.Prince liked what he saw or he wouldn't have let her on the stage. It's not about the looks, it's about the attitide.

The way she was dancing, it would be anything less of a sin to not wash it before wearing it again. How do you know it smelled?

come on, she didn't look dirty. and yeah, she was losing her shit up on that stage, but i found it to be really cute. ol' girl was up on stage with her idol and she was freakin' out.

i think it's cool that prince brings up girls who "need the exercise" - i know a lot of big girls who are prince fanatics and they deserve their time in the spotlight, cuz they support the bejeesus out of the man (not that everyone else who's a fan doesn't, i'm just sayin').

i saw this chick shaking her butt at the afterparty and she was having a great time. i don't think she really cared what anyone else thought of her - she had her big moment of the evening, and that was the important thing.

Orionforever said:

People can be so negative, I had good seats, from what I saw she was just dancing and having a good time. I liked the dress, the one with the big symbol on it right? Maybe the dress is what got P's attention in the first place. I can't believe you actually started a thread about making fun of somebody? You best believe if P pulled my ass on stage I would be showing my ass also, how many chances do you get to act a fool on stage with Prince? I sure wouldn't be standing there with my thumb in my mouth.

waitaminute...what show are we taling about? cause she was in front of me @ the first jersey show (3rd row) and I also saw her @ hartford, with the same getup on...that's how i recognised her. but the girl i saw WAS rail thin...and covered from head to toe..you couldnt see her face, she had a veil on.

"its better 2 b hungey than FAT and thats a Fact"!Prince
don't eat 2 much it will make u sleepy-Prince
face it Prince feels sorry 4 FAT people-OR he justs lets them up on stage so there hearts will BLOW UP AND DIE!

...apparently Prince didn't care. & I KNOW this couldn't had been the highlight of the show...

If ya Idolize someone Sometimes Losing Ya Sh7t is Just Something that Happens. She Must have Been so DELIRIOUS! Good For Her!

Or how about this.

"I like 'em fat, I like 'em proud U got 2 have a mother 4 me" Now move your big ass 'round this way So I can work on that zipper baby."-Prince

or

My baby's fat - I like her like that /I hate a skinny skench talking straight out her hat -Prince

There just lyrics, ya know. It's not that crucial.


S

All of Prince's women were Skinny so That's Not True. Vanity,Susannah,Mayte wasn't Fat and Mani is Rail thin,but Prince isn't Hatin on Fat Fans. He Digs his Fans..

Zelaira said:

I never said any of this was truth. My point was that all Prince lyrics are JUST lyrics. We can't impute any truths from them.


And I agree, he likes ALL of his fans just fine.

S

True!

I've received this impression before: that some in the Prince camp do believe they are above others. The royal lifestyle that they enjoy is provided for by the fans wanting to hear Prince's music. Sometimes it has felt like we are good enough to work our fingers to the bone to afford this entertainment, but we are not good enough to be considered equal. And this is the only thing that I can think of that I do not enjoy about Prince and his appearances.

Once while at Paisley Park, a side room was opened for a live show. Only a certain number of people were allowed in. Mani was to the side giving gift bags to some of the special ones. When I asked a guard if I could contact someone inside so that I could get my belongings from them so I could leave, he told me to leave without them. He was very rude. I stopped to talk to someone else who was waiting for their partner to come out, and offered to wait with them. The guard came up and yelled: "I told U to leave." I had done nothing wrong, only asked if I could get my jacket and there was this angry voice slamming my heart against the ground. Then he allowed the other person into the show. It's difficult to understand the love Prince sings about when this type of feeling is received from those closest to him.

You know, there ARE fat people in the world. It has nothing to do with bones.

They are not JUST WORDS-they are words that are on Prince MIND at that time!The ONLY problem FAT people have is-----(THEY DON"T KNOW HOW TO PUT THE FORK-SPOON-down)
Like Prince said at a show in 1997 (Your hands are killing you!How?Your hand bring food 2 your mouths,your hands bring tobacco your mouths and also drugs!When a baby is born we have to put gloves on they hand SO THEY WON"T SCRATCH OUT there EYES!Princes point(HAVE SOME CONTROL and stop blaming YOUR BIG BONES)

hmmmm, let's pick apart Prince's lyrics to justify not liking fat people, how old are some of you? Ever heard of this beautiful lady called Rosie Gains? What a bunch fuckin' lames.

I was at the HOB show this morning, and the fan with the long dress with the symbol, who has been the subject of this thread(and much debate), was also there. I didn't see her in the show, but I saw her at the ticket wndow.

I don't think she looked bad or smelled. She just looked like a die-hard fan. More power to her!!

I can't believe I just saw this thread for the first time. Some of the comments on here are so fucked up.


I saw this young lady, who happens to be an NPGMC member, on stage that night. Fuck the negative BS: The girl did her thing and had a ball up there. She was a highlight of that night for me. I have always said that I would never get up on stage with Prince because I didn't want to come to the Org and read a lot of negative bullshit about myself but you know what? It would have been about me and not the jealous motherfuckers who didn't get up there.

Damn, can people act like there are people behind the fucking screennames and not post shit they wouldn't dare say to someone's face?
