Hi Terilicious!

So - given the way things have been on this thread, I suppose you now see why reuniting the Dames doesn't seem feasible?

Best wishes to your son the artist! You must be proud.

You're welcome!

I thought this thread was gonna die a long time ago after Robin left. She was very happy and thankful that I had started these threads. Maybe I'll maitain them as a tribute to her. I will post more of her artwork and music in time.

Meanwhile I just became a foster mom to a three day old baby who was abandoned in a hospital and things are quite different here in my pad. So if I disappear from time to time it's because I need some sleep.

I was looking forward to talking to her and maybe meeting up with her. Glad that some of you noticed my message to Robin, and that it made some of you curious about two women! lol. It started with a curiousity for me too! lol

thanks for this question when i come back later tonight or tomorrow i will give you some very interesting insight. working with them was an education and a trip they are full of contradictions and talent. get with you soon
later

Hi All,

I am predicting that pretty soon this thread will freeze as the others have after a certain amount of time, posts, and/or views.

I just want to say it's been fun. I might disappear for a while since I'm busy with a new baby and priorities in my life have shifted. Who knows - maybe someday I'll post a link to my film's trailer. Just wanted to say this before the thread freezes or fades away.

Anyway, I've run out of stories and unless Robin, Bassdame, or UptownDame post things will just lay to rest. It was so interesting for my past to come back and bite me on the butt after fifteen years. Just when you think it's over...

Who knows - I might come back and post some of Robin's art or something - but for now, just in case, I want you to know I had a great time. Even with Jizzy etc.

Love you all!

Love ya artpal! Thanks for the stories! Good luck with the baby and we'll see ya around someday!

Thanx 4 the stories & best wishes

bassdame said:

You's a bold mutha mutha w/ these questions, dude

I mean, do you REALLY think anybody would answer that on a public message board?? I NEVER HEARD THAT! I DON'T KNOW....LOVE POWER

CalhounSq said:

Hello, and Amen, Sister.

While it's definitely understandable that people are intrigued by The Dames and what the creative process is like within the walls of Paisley Park...we REALLY need to to cut it out with the personal questions already.

To begin with, they are rude and intrusive. How many of you would like to be invited to a public internet forum about music only to have people grill you with personal questions about your former boyfriend, girlfriend, or lover? ESPECIALLY those based on rumours or hearsay?

Newsflash: all the relentless pursuit of questions having nothing to do with with the ladies' work projects, life and creative philosophies, or true events they have admittedly witnessed firsthand should cease. We are bordering on blind fanaticism in here, probing into peoples' private lives and instigating responses in ways that can get them, or even this site in legal trouble with words like libel, slander, and defamation of character being thrown every which way.

No matter how different all of our personal tastes and philosophies might be, or the lifestyles we individually choose to lead, there should still be a modicum of dignity and respect to the posts that we add to this thread. Please do not continue to insult these artists, as well as the intelligence of members of this board with these gossip mongering questions. They are simply inappropriate.

....having said that, please know that I didn't mean that "bitchy" to the original poster, but enough IS enough ! THANKYOU SWEETHEART!!!! I LOVE THE WAY YOU THINK! GOD BLESS LOVE POWER

Hey Wrobin, I hweard Prince once dragged a chick out onto the stage by her hair during a wrehersal and shoved a microphone stand up her coochie and yelled "Let this be an example of what's coming to those who defy me" and then looked at her and said "When I say no blue eyeshadow b**ch, that's what I mean. Not on me and not on you, either"
Is that true?


THAT'S NOT NICE I PRAY THAT THIS COMMENT WAS A JOKE

PurpleCharm said:

Don't take all the blame, folks. Most of the reason why Robin left is because of something behind the scenes between me and her. Sure, the meanies didn't help either, but when she felt bassdame and I had betrayed her (with the "bimbo"/bible stuff), that was the last straw. We didn't mean to hurt her. I feel sad about all this, actually. I feel sad for her. :-PLEASE DON'T FEEL SAD FOR ME...I AM JUST AT A PLACE IN MY LIFE WHERE I AM TRYING TO SEE WHO IS REAL...WHO LOVES ME ...OR WHO IS JUST PRETENDING TO CARE! THAT ALL JUST TREAT ME THE WAY THAT I TREAT YOU!

Voidra said:[quote]Are you really sorry Artpal? You enticed her into this and exploited her all the way. In the beginning of these threads you used her name from the start because nobody knows or cares who you are. You enticed thousands to view your threads by letting everyone know you had 'stories' to tell about Prince and Robin. The tactics used are really a nefarious way to get attention. Some kind of friend.

The way you described Robin's music or rather what it wasn't almost brought tears to my eyes because it made me realize what kind of a friend you really are. Robin just saw it too. What kind of an expert are you anyway? You can't make it on your own but feel you are in a position to critique Robin and Prince? LOL -It kind of hits home...you would be no one without your link to Robin and you obviously resent that; you're passive-aggressive nature is in full view for all to see.

As far as Robin goes, it's obvious that she is troubled and you have always known that. Shame on you for exploiting her. Now I see why you have never advanced beyond a bedroom in an apartment for your business.

PurpleCharm said:

hey now:that sentence was meant for robin..she hasnt left us how could she this whole thing is about her. robin is a strong woman shes all that she described herself to be. but that little girl is in there too, and thats the side of her that responded to te bimbo thing. hell all of us were in there together. i was in a band with flytetyme and they called us "hos and bitches"..but that was their thing and after all this time ive moved on from any offense i felt at that label. i was responding more to her attack on liza who as worked so hard with and for robin. the idea of us taking our issues private somewhat defeats the purpose. this is a public forum when you post on a public forum expect public response. otherwise dont post. there are people who have been on this journey even before me. someone begged liza to start this thing and when she did, she was by herself and the slowly but surely at te request and to the delight of people she has found almost all of us. the people who have been on the journey from day one (ex: krystal, blaqueknight, the audience etc) these people have earned the right to be on this very public journey. dont forget we are entertainers, artists, people who thrive on eccentricities and attention. this whole thing makes perfect sense to me. as for robin, she knows me i will always play devils advocate differences of opinion or percieved differences of opinion make life interesting and stimulates conversation. robin and i as ofmoment have still not talked its been what 15 years. that girl has my respect and admiration on certain levels. think of all the women prince has met..robin made enough of an impression on him that not only did he bring her to his bed he also put her in his movie!!she is a fantastic artist has learned to put her music together and define herself whether we like it or not. she is an awesome cook (remember the gumbo) and i have no doubt her child will benefit endlessly from having her as a mother. theres so much that i havent identified that makes her special. i will be the frist to tell you that she has a presence that leaves no doubt that shes in the room. having said all that im not kissing her ass or anyone elses. she know how i deal and she and i clicked because of that. when se came to me she knew that i was not going to bs her. i am still just a woman wh has just as many issues as robin. liza was going to post a part of my interview for her documentary here. i demanded that she not do it. why!? because when its released to public scrutiny i wont be in peoples homes to here the critique, in this forum i would be able to get some serious critique i am not strong enough or brave enough to go down that road. so as an adult if you post public you have to deal with it. if robins spirituality is for her her mother and God then thats where it should have stayed (religion and politics). i just gathered that since she was quoting scripture etc. that this was a subject we could broach. look i dont think she has issues beyond anyone elses i understand (maybe not agree) everything she has posted. we're musicians and artists we dont like everyone else or dream like everyone else. liza and i were having a conversation the other day about aliens and whales..i thought this was an everyday kind of thing. if the way she talks and the things i talk about are labeled as issues then label me that way. and thank you because i wouldnt want to be any other way..thats what made me a dame and thats prince named her power. later any typos run sentences etc., figure it out if not sorry about that pass the popcorn YOU KNOW THAT I AM HAPPY THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SEE PARTS OF ME THAT SO MANY OTHERS HAVE NOT THANKYOU! AND YES I AM VERY MUCH A BABY GIRL...SEE THAT'S IT I FOUND THE BABY GIRL THAT LIVES INSIDE OF ME SHE HAS BEEN ASLEEP FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND NOW SHE IS HOME NOW I KNOW WHO I AM ....THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!! AND I WAS BORN TO CHANGED THIS WORLD! NO MATTER WHAT THE WORLD MAY THINK I AM HERE!

It's simply inspiring, truth be told, to hear about people creating with passion.

As for Robin's music, while it's not my cup of tea, it's intensely memorable... isn't this a big reason why people to create, to be remembered? In any case, I'd call it an achievement I HAVE SO MUCH MORE MUSIC!!! LIZA HAS MY DOUBLE CD AND I HAVE MY OWN VALT OF MUSIC...IT HAS SONGS OF INSPERATION...SONGS OF LONGING...SONGS OF LOVE...SONGS FOR GOD...SONGS OF PASSION...OF SEX AND DESIRE...I AM SURE THAT I HAVE SOMETHING THAT IS YOUR CUP OF TEA LOVE POWER

Ottensen said:

i am so feeling this comment.the thing about prince taking her into his bed etc...was just one point. it wasnt really a sexual comment as much as it was a statistical one. you have to have something about you for a major superstar to be attracted to you and act on it. in whatever form that takes obviously shes and the rest of us have so much more to offer, but we would all be in denial if we didnt recognize the vagina and its power. open the door to some other musical topics and im sure we would love to respond. as i said earlier when i took this direction no one seemed as interested. look at the comment that posted right after my "declaration"
later THE POWER OF THE PUSSY!!!!! EVEN JESUS CAME THROUGH ONE!!!!! REMEMBER MARY!!! HIS MOTHER NOW THAT IS POWER!!!

Hey Robin! Haven't read ur new posts yet, I just saw u're back again and wanted to say that I'm glad to see ya here Power. Welcome back! This was one of the most fun and interesting threads here so I'm glad you came back again, appreciate it. Now I'm gonna read what you've written...
