What the hell? How ya'll getting emails form her??? I e-mailed her over a month ago an never got a response.
And I wrote her a sweet e-mail too
It would have meant the world to me if she responded....
What E-mail r u guys using? I used one offered on her website.

that's the same e-mail address I used. I think now that her book is coming out, she'll be answering her e-mails . I know where you're coming from though-I had previously e-mailed her last year and she never got back to me. If you e-mail her now, she'll get back to you. It probably helped my cause that in my subject I put "Your book"

If you do e-mail her, could you post her responses here? We'd all love to know what she says Oh here's something else-she doesn't do spell check and her grammar is a mess

These Jesus-freaks gross me out! I'd love to hear about her time with Prince, but I wouldn't be able to read more than a page or two without puking.

Kinda reminds me of that Dez retrospective set and the awful Christianity shoved down your throat on every page. I won't make that $50 mistake again.

Religion is like masturbation - it should be done in private.

oh go on and give it a try. She's really nice. I just laugh though because she mixes in scripture speak with "slang".

After writing about my "sanctuary", she wrote "many blessings 2 U, love Denise" I thought that was so cute.

I think she's having problems getting a major distributor.Let's face it,Vanity never became a huge superstar.The only people who would be interested in her book are the Prince fans who remember her from the Vanity 6 days.

She got back FAST! My first E-mail didn't mention her book...,maybe that's why she didn't respond. She sent this to me twice and said sorry if she had already sent it.
Strangely, I didn't ask what would be in it...but she said it would have "everything" in it. hmmm.....

I'm printing this shit, I can't beleive I got an e-mail from Vanity.

200 color pages? WOW!

"Blame it on Vanity"

She included a phone number but i won't post here as i am not sure if its for the book or ministry. I would love to have her minister to me...imagine the insight and wealth of spiritual knowledge she has amassed over the years. and i think it would be sincere too and not about trying to brainwash anybody.

DesireeNevermind said:

She called me a couple of years ago when she was trying to sell the book for $200. She ended up "ministering" to me for like a 1/2 hour on the phone. It was surreal.

Earlier that day she called me and left me a voice mail with her number. I wanted to save the voice mail forever, but didn't know it would erase itself after 30 days.

dustysgirl said:

Aw man that's messed up. You didn't remove the tape? I want to call her but I have to be in a receptive mode. I would love to get her take on P's JW relationship. Did she mention still having a Church? I know she had one at one time and when I saw her on TV ministering she was soooo moving and serious too.

DesireeNevermind said:

Her old website for her book was asking for your phone number and she would call you with the book details. I put in my cell phone number and sure enough she called me after a few days. So my cell phone erased the message automatically.

At first she talked about the book...for like 10 minutes. For some reason I mentioned that I had been having some medical issues for a few years. She then began to tell me about her health issues...even some very personal stuff that I would not post here...it just seemed to personal. We talked mutually about God's healing power and grace. She then prayed with me on the phone and told me to call her anytime. I'm a born-again Christian, so I didn't mind her talking to me about the Lord and praying with me. I welcomed it. She was really nice.

I did not ask her anything about Prince or her Vanity days. I didn't want to seem like that's all I cared about.

My husband was waiting for me to get off the phone because we were about to go somewhere, and what's great, is that when I got in the car, I said, "gosh, I could not get Vanity off the phone!"

dustysgirl said:

okay I will B sure 2 let you know if I have that problem. heck, i welcome it. hope she and i have the same cell phone plan. lmao

DesireeNevermind said:

See? And the other day you said you were afraid to e-mail her? She's so nice. I can't believe she just gives out her number to people who e-mail her though.

Unreal.
I want to talk to her on the phone. She sounds sweet....she seems really cool.

Des, what did u say to her? B/C she sent you more than she sent me.

ToraToraDreams said:

Actually, i told her about a disagreement that i was having with someone about certain religious beliefs. I am going to buy her book too.

HOW MUCH WOULD IT COST? THE BOOK I MEAN?

jimmiev1967 said:

45 dolla

OK, COOL BUT WHY IT CANT BE SOLD AT A BOOKSTORE !!!! THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!

jimmiev1967 said:

cuz the bookstore would get a cut...she save money with direct purchase.

DesireeNevermind said:

I dont think any negativity about Prince would be relevant anyway. Denise became Vanity of her own free will. Prince probably smacked her around a few times but by 1983 she already left him. The book will probably concentrate on the years after Prince. Cocaine is a helluva drug

DesireeNevermind said:

I just fucked up this post, but I actually meant to respond to the one that adressed asking this woman what she feels about Prince's beliefs. This is what I was thinking:

If one would be contacting her to get "the word" as it were, why on EARTH would a person ask someone about a former love relationship and their ex lover's religious choices? It has very little to do with being ministered about your own quest for religion or spirituality.

DesireeNevermind said:

Not to mention she would need a distribution deal as well as a certain amount of copies printed, with no guarantee of that book selling for full price and being able to recoup the dough invested in it.

DesireeNevermind said:

I'm sure she'd love to have it in bookstores, but no bookstore is going to stock a self-published book like this.
