Started this thread as you (or at least I) can no longer post to the original thread.

I had a nice talk with bassdame the other day and she asked me to give everyone her regards.
She's working on some things and wanted everyone to know she'll be back posting soon.

Bassdame! Thanks for checking in and saying what's up!

Hey BassDame! What drum machine did you get?

I have 3 of them for some reason, incluidng a LinnDrum (not the LM-1) in the orignal box!

I love drum machines

Has anyone ever thought Robin Power kinda looks like Thelma from the TV show Good Times?

Hey - whazzup y'all?

Sorry it's been a while. I got distracted by other parts of life (a good thing). Now I'm back to working on the film. I'll try to get the trailer going asap.

Bassdame and Uptown Dame are pulled in different directions as well. Now you know why it's hard to reunite the Dames. We have different lives in different parts of the country, and there is more to life than being in a band etc.

Krystal, I'm gonna have to find a photo of Thelma.

Later!

artpal said:

Artpal, thank you for checking in!!!! I was going to ask you how the documentary is coming along.

P.S. Someone post a pic of Thelma for artpal!

Heh- I guess she sort of looks like Robin - in the sense that a lot of pretty girls look alike. Don't alot of pretty girls look alike? I think so.

artpal said:

Is that something you found out in the documentary artpal?

Why Hell to the No! Thelma is fine.....

So is Robin!

Actually, according to many studies, there tend to be certain characteristics that define a beautiful face and body.

Hello all.

It took me nearly 24 hours, but I finally got through all four threads and... WOW... take away the identity crisis bits, the bedroom stuff, and the 'girl talk' , and there is a lot of very interesting tidbits scattered through out the four posts. I really hope the Dames continue to post. I especially liked artpal's story about just jamming with Prince, would love to hear bassdame and Uptown Dame's take on that incident - having the different perspectives on the same situation is most intriguing. Oh, and the pictures, truly beautiful, especially the three 'proof' shots...

Though I am about as far from being a musician as it's possible to get and still know how to spell the word, I also find the techy talk interesting. There is one aspect of musical tech that I do understand, and that is, do any of you use computers in your workflow? If so, what kind? Amiga's or Atari ST's? (well, you've been around long enough... )

I'll have to head over to the hq and see if there is any additional info...

You know over at Housquake I watched that Women love Prince-Joan Rivers show again...and it really seemed there was some tension among Robin Power and Diamond/Pearl.

BlaqueKnight said:

Oh really? Thanks for your imput. I think Robin had it alot harder than the other Prince girls. Sadly I think it might have been due part to her race. Maybe Prince thought white women were eaiser to sell? To me Robin was a knockout but unfortantly alot of people see her as a sexy black woman. When she was just as sexy as Diamond, Pearl or Carmen Electra. Oh well thankfuly things are starting to be different than they were in 1991. Prince should be grateful that he has fans as devoted as Robin who are willing to defend and accept him as if they were his kin.

I think Robin Power is great. A strong, intelligent woman who lived by her wits.

Krystal666 said:

I think Blaque is right. They were just in different circles. D&P were very new to the scene compared to Robin, so Robin had to jump in when they couldn't answer. I didn't sense any tension between Robin and D&P at all when I was there. If anything, there was tension between Robin and Sheila E.

amyhr said:

Hi Amyhr,

Thanks for the post! And the compliment on the photos.

I sure do wish Bassdame and Uptown Dame would post too, but what can I do?

Anyway, for music, I use a Mac and so do most other musicians and artists. Mac rules!!!

BlaqueKnight said:

What the fuck?!? How do you draw this conclusion? Everytime someone reads race into a situation when there is zero evidence, it just diminishes the times when there are valid complaints. That's one major reason that when someone like Al Sharpton raises even a valid issue, it carries little credibility with the general public. And no, I'm not white.

and that was the saddest interview ever. how do you find that to be a credible depiction of reality? Robin obviously was self-inflating. come on now.. things aren't what they seem....

money makes the world go 'round - thats it.

Hi ArtPal. I was wondering did your documentary come out yet?

artpal said:

Hmmm....thanks artpal! That makes alot of sense. Considering they both seemed to be "I know Prince best!" and "NO I do!" They both definatly gave off that vibe.

butter4yourmuffin said:

I don't really care what you are as far as race is concerned. Its funny how people go to such great extents to be politically correct that they refuse to see even the slightest social ineptitude. Its institutionalized bias, by the way. Not racism per se. Also, its not the first time Joan Rivers is guilty of it.
I came to that conclusion from HER REACTION. Go back and watch it and maybe you'll get it. Joan went to Diamond and Pearl and said that they obviously knew Prince better than anyone. Then proceeded to ask the MJ question. Robin interjected and answered after they said they'd never heard him mention MJ. The conclusion was more of a simple judging of the reactions rather than reading more into something. She had already stated how close she and Prince were and D&P had already said how their relationship with Prince was a working one but Joan still went to them...fuck it. I see you conviently chopped my post up and went on your rant. If anything YOU read more into what I said than me reading more into what was said on the interview. If you have beef with me, pick a better post than this one, please. For what its worth, I'm sure Susannah would have reacted the same way if it had been her and D & P on the stage and Joan had done that to her. Thank you Krystal and Artpal for your responses. Al Sharpton whateva, fool.

artpal said:

What was the tension between Sheila E and Robin about? Also what did you think of Sheila E personally? And what do you think about the unconfirmed rumors about her sexual orientation

VanitySixx said:

Yes we are still awaiting!

keir482 said:

Honey, they ain't unconfirmed. Just un-believed by some orgers and fans who don't know. Let me shut up before we lose another thread. Hi, Artpal.
