Yeah, I know I have too much time on my hands. But I'm bored, and Associated Artists doesn't get enough love, so here's another picture thread.

And it's an interactive thread! You don't have to be Mr. Blackwell--have some fun rating Sheila's fashion through the years.

Don't see your favorite Sheila outfit? Feel free to add more pics. Have fun...

Sheila Through the Years:

She wants to lead...



Tell me why you blushin', baby


Blue's a better color


Something for my head


He can't resist my beat


Funky attitude


Shortberry strawcake


Here I stand, defenseless


Work your body, work your body, make sure you don't hurt nobody


Laugh all night


Faded photographs


Bring me one of them furs!


Make a lotta white noise


Yellow's a happenin' color


Come to my private party


This is my house


Lost in your reverie


I might take things too serious or maybe not at all


All I ask is for a little decency and class


Come to me, my island breeze

Sheila's Lovesexy/SOTT clothes were insanity, LOVE those! I wish I could rock a one leg outfit like that

Go head Shelia!

Yeah, I wonder if the white one-legged outfit was comfortable to wear. Seems like it wouldn't be, but you'd never know it. I love that it's a turtleneck too. It's cool that Patti Labelle and Sheila designed it together.

OH MY GOSH!! I love U right now!
I am having a "Prince-themed" costume party for my 40th birthday (August 24th ), and the disclaimer on my invitation is: "The host reserves the right to be the ONLY Sheila E. at the party!" I have literally looked thru hundreds of pix of her in the last week: here, Google, HQ,... trying to create the perfect look. I have been to 5 malls, and on the Frederick's website. This weekend, I go wig shopping!

Keep 'em coming!

Did they really?? Damn, Patti got a wild side I guess I'm forgetting about her LaBelle days, huh?

CalhounSq said:

Yeah, when Graffiti Bridge was coming out they devoted an episode of Friday Night Videos to Prince, and Patti and Malcolm Jamal Warner (I think) were the hosts. Before they played U Got the Look, Patti told the story about how she and Sheila were good friends and Sheila came over to Patti's house to work on it. Patti would have actually made it right then, she said, but her sewing machine was broken.

All right, Chocolate, these are for you, but I wanna see some pics from your party...

First, some Krush Groove images



Rockin' the famous blue butterfly suit







And a few others

The light blue from Krush Groove is my fave!!! I just think that it's a bit much for August...

There will DEFINITELY be pics from the party! My sister and her friend are going to be Vanity & Susan! They're going lingerie shopping next week!

I think Sheila looks hotter today than she did back then. Gorgeous woman.

sheila is damn sexy these days

you go Sheila.....I did love the SOTT/LOVESEXY outfits....as hoochie as they were

Rhondab said:

Hoochie fa sho, but sexy, not nasty. I be watching SOTT like, "That's one badass, confident woman to rock a one-legged outfit like it ain't nuthin!!!" And as nekkid as these singers be nowadays, not one of 'em would have the confidence or bodies to rock that shit and Sheila did it 20 years ago. However, my favorite Sheila is from Krush Groove, prolly cuz we got to hear her talk a lot. Plus I LOVED her fly ass hair cut and highlights.

She's still beautiful. When I saw her at the April aftershow in Vegas (where she gave me a huge hug and a set of her drumsticks) she was real casual in a pretty kimono, wearing her eyeglasses and rocking flip-flops and she STILL looked gorgeous. Okay, she kinda makes me sick. . . forgive my slight hateration.

SCNDLS said:

oh yeah.....its a good hoochie I didn't get a slutty vibe from her.

I think its all in how you carry yourself. Another person could rock the same gear and I'd be protestin' like a mofo (peep the sig)

Demeanor is everything.....

Rhondab said:

And she's a very nice person to boot.

Rhondab said:

I COMPLETELY agree, cuz I'm constantly clowning Beyonce and other current female singers for their attire and choreography but I tend to forget that Vanity an nem, Sheila and the rest of Prince's chicks were damn near naked. And although it was kinda shocking for the times it just didn't seem as overt or distasteful as it seems to me now. There was always a certain amount of class with all his female proteges, especially with Sheila, that somehow made it alright.

SCNDLS said:

I've always said its about balance but also, it isn't always necessary. I'll give youth their ignorance and exploration but if sheila was still rockin' the one legged thingy.....

let me get my soap box...lol.

As you get older, you should learn that sexuality doesn't have to be so overt. A little bit REALLY does go a long way....

Rhondab said:

She isn't still rockin' the one-legged thing, but Sheila's never been afraid to put the girls out on display, then or now. I think that's cool, showing that women can be beautiful and sexy and sexual as they age.

Efan said:

I feel ya....I was referring more to taste....she's still not rockin' some pasties and a thong...yanno

taste and class.....

I love Sheila! I think that she has so much style- always has. Even in those ridiculously 80s outfits, she had "it". In planning for my party, I noticed that overall, Sheila didn't show as much skin as some of the others. I was hard-pressed to find a whole bunch of pix with a whole lot flesh. And when she did, it didn't look bad.

So what outfit are you going with?

curious what the back side of that one legged outfit looked like

I remember having that poster in my room when I was 14 years old Those were the dayz!!!

jaynoonan said:

Well, since you asked...

Efan said:

Go on, girls! Cat had an awesome body, but, damn if she don't have the longest torso in creation. But, hey, I guess longest is better than widest.

I love Sheila, she's lasted longer than any of them!

If Mr Blackwell saw Sheila last night she would have gotten a 10... She was abolutely stunning in a purple minidress showing her cuteness.. She is a very elegant girl, sexy and has what it takes to look good, make few heads turn and be respected.. Love her to death!!!

"Said the camel to the toe...."

I have always liked her style...not to mention she has always been sexy as hell.

And now that she has gotten older she is still fine....I would love to get with

her!!!

Early shots are Prince style. Seems like her style is in the post prince era.
