It seem as if Male and Female fans adore Vanity but seem a little off on Apollonia aka apples

They both fell off the radar.Appels was on TMZ awhile back complaining about her reading glasses

About 2 bra sizes!

Not much.
Apples has bigger tatas.
Neither of them can sing.
Both of them were FINE.

Vanity was around the Prince camp longer and had more of an influence. Apollonia was more like a hired hand. (Did Apollonia 6 ever perform live?) After PR, Apples was outta there.

The Apollonia 6 album has what I consider to be the group's best song ("Blue Limousine"), but the Vanity 6 album is far better overall, imo.

Apollonia has a sweeter more innocent quality.
Vanity was pure sensuality and sexuality.

Damn good answer...except "a million miles" kicked major ass. Appollonia...eh she looked aiiright

DesireeNevermind said:

I love "A Million Miles" too. Great, great song.

I love them both. Apollonia is Hispanic and has bigger boobs and better hair. Vanity is biracial (black/white),thus is a little more cocoa-colored, and has a more shapely bod and bigger ass. Vanity is pigeon-toed, Apples isn't. Vanity had a more campily vampy appeal in her singing style and persona. Apples was more the California-girl, cheerleader-y type. They both dated rock stars (Vanity-Nikki Sixx and Apollonia-David Lee Roth). V's Canadian, A is from LA. They both did tons of nudity in obscure pre-Prince films (Vanity-"Tanya's Island" and Apollonia-"Amor Ciego"). They've both acted in films with Clarence Williams III (V-"52 Pickup" and A-"Purple Rain (of course)). Coincidentally I've been jamming to the V6 and A6 albums for the past day and a half.

I love them both too!!! You summed this thread up the best so far...pinpointing both of their highlights and low points...and similarities.

Vanity can sing a tiny bit better than Apples.
Vanity is Black and German.
I think Apples is Spanish and Italian.
Vanity was the orignal leader of Vanity 6...Apples was a look-alike replacement.
Apples had big boobs but got them even bigger.
Vanity had no boobs and got some.
Vanity was on drugs.
Never heard anything about Apples doing the drug thing tho.
Apples was in PR obviously.
I think Prince had an actual relationship with Vanity tho.
Vanity is more sassy and cool w/o trying.
Vanity has a job...an evangelist.
WE STILL HAVE NO IDEA WHAT APPLES DOES BESIDES GO 2 PARTIES


oh and Apples got an unecessary face lift

thanx boriquateddy!

And, although Apples was never a known hard-core drug user, she was busted back in the late 80s for "allegedly" trying to score weed from a minor. She claimed it was research for a film role, which may be true, because in the 1990 film "Back to Back" she is seen smoking weed in one scene.

WHAT IS PIGEON TOED, NEVER UNDERSTOOD THAT TERM? HOW CAN U TELL IF SOMEONE GOT BIRD FEET?

DesireeNevermind said:

r u joking
pigeon toed is when people walk with their feet going inward like such:
Eva is rare...a pigeontoed model:

PleasurePrinciple said:

OH I GET IT NOW! LOL '
I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS LIKE A REALLY BAD HANG NAIL OR ACTUAL BIRD FEET WHICH WOULD BE TOO SCARY! EVA'S FEET SURE R TALKING 2 EACH OTHER.

LOL!

DesireeNevermind said:

Vanity was much more interesting.She was the original "nasty girl" and she played that role very well.Apollonia was simply a replacement.I don't think she ever felt truly comfortable in that role.When she demands "all the nasty people sing" at the end of "Sex Shooter",it sounds forced and un-convincing.Still,she was cool in 'Purple Rain' and there's no denying her sexiness I just think Vanity was the real deal.As someone pointed out,neither of these ladies could sing.It's all about attitude and on the Vanity 6 album,Vanity displays alot of cool attitude.She's totally convincing in the role she's playing (a demanding,sex-obsessed nasty girl).

I REMEMBER READING THAT APPOLLONIA GOT BUSTED FOR BUYING DOPE AT A CRACKHOUSE, BUT SHE CLAIMED SHE WAS DOING RESEARCH FOR A MOVIE. DON'T THINK THAT MOVIE EVER SAW THE LIGHT OF DAY.

HE MUST HAVE LOVED VANITY. OR IT COULDA JUST BEEN LUST. U NEVER KNOW WITH HIM. I DON'T THINK HE EVEN KNOWS HALF THE TIME.

WHY DID SHE DO THAT TO HER FACE? SHE LOOKED FINE. FUCKED UP NIP AND TUCK

yeah i mentioned that apples got busted a few posts above. it may be true about her researching for a role, because in the movie Back to Back she is smoking weed in a scene.

SEANMAN said:

Did that film do any good? Did she do anything else afterward? Shit these protoges can't do a damn thing when they leave Prince. kinda sad.

It was direct to video and had Bill Paxton in it. She did another film after that with Mark Hamill called Black Magic Woman, and before Back to Back she was in Ministry of Vengeance with John Schnieder




[Edited 9/5/08 10:41am]

WOW, I ACTUALLY REMEMBER NOW THAT I SAW BLACK MAGIC WOMAN! IT WASN'T HALF BAD. I JUST REMEMBER FEELING SORRY FOR MARK HAMIL THAT THAT WAS THE BEST HE COULD DO AFTER THE STAR WARS MOVIES!! LIKE HARRISON FORD THE ONLY ACTOR TO COME UP OFF THOSE FLICKS. APPOLLONIA SHOULD HAVE WENT BACK TO BEING PATTY KOTERO AND MAYBE SHE WOULD HAVE DONE SOME BETTER MOVIES.

U think? People would have been going "Patty WHO?" lol

SEANMAN said:

lmao...probably
but i just think keeping the name appollonia would forever associate her with P and ppl maybe didn't want to work with her uless P was involved somehow. Like does anybody care about Tito unless Michael is around?

good comparison!

Dna.

what's with the ??

Apollonia does a lot more than just going to parties. She has a degree in film making. She has her own jewellery and make up range. She also owns a gym in Hawaii. Apples is 5 foot 4, Vanity is 5 foot 7. Vanity is into religion, Apples isn't.

Vanity was sexier supposedly. She had the whole sexy act going on and practically defined the word sexy

Apollonia is more innocent has a sweet personality, seemed Hispanic, but in the end, I prefer her because I prefer nice over sexy.






And I'm female... Girls like Vanity kinda make normal girls like me look bad
