@annkpowers asking about working w/big personalities a la madonna... [Powers mentioned Prince, Seal, Grace Jones, as well]

Omg wendy talking about working w madonna [Wendy said she and Madonna met a few times throughout the years and have a mutual respect for one another. When it was time to play the part for "She's Not Me", Wendy went in to the studio, played the piece, then asked Madonna if that was what she wanted]

And now the talk of Prince and how @wendyandlisa's contribution has not been adequately ackowledged. [Powers mentioned Ozzy and Randy Rhodes, and a few other males and their male contributors who are known and recognized for what they contributed and wondered why Wendy and Lisa are not more widely recognized for their contributions to Prince. Wendy said, among other things, that a lot of fans have raised the flag for them over the years]

@annkpowers asking @wendyandlisa about introducing Prince to the fairlight

Lisa on how electronics have changed music: it's like having more colors in the crayon box.

Strangest thing: grace jones wanting to sleep with us. We were so scared @wendyandlisa [Wendy then told a great story about Grace Jones getting ready for a party in the back seat of their car with only a black pencil for make-up]

Lisa on indie route: we're happier now, doing it this way...

Wendy quoting d.m.s.r. in regard to diversity: white, black, puerto rican...

Lisa advice to others pursuing music: know when to be vain, when to be confident.

Wendy's: try to work with somebody you trust and care about
