Did Vanity make Prince Hot?

I'm talking to my father and he's saying that Vanity (his crush back then) made Prince cool because everyone assume him to be gay until they found out he was dating her.

She took him from (Sorry to be crude) B*tch status to Pimp Status.

Then when we figured out the Farrah Fawcett hair of his was just Show Business and that he was dating Susan and Vanity then he was OK. The music from The Time solidified it.

Girls in basements in their underwear starting popping up everywhere. Hey, we'd even rehearse the band with them after a while.

But yeah, she made him hot when she got deeper into the coke and also when she f*cked Albert Magnoli.

They were like Mick and Bianca; a total head turning couple that nobody could ignore. I think that Vanity may have been like Bianca too in that Bianca was head strong and not easily lead by the nose. They both brought something to the table. You didn't just want to have Prince you wanted to be her.

That's true to a point. It was all about timing. Many people, even many of P's fans, including girls, up to 1982, either believed P was gay or they weren't sure. So when he was taking pics of himself with Vanity and it was out that Vanity was his woman, then yeah, it was a GREAT shift in how people viewed Prince. He became "sexy" to women. Because I think from Controversy backwards, P's fan base as far as females went were primarily teenage girls. Wasn't many grown ass women interested in P before 1982. Sure, they dug his music and his singing. But the P of 79, 80, and 81 was TOO short, TOO weird and TOO questionable with his sexuality. Vanity gave P CLOUT with women in the general public. He, through his association with Vanity, simply put, became a sex symbol. That combined with his arrival on MTV who were playing the shit out of the 1999 and especially Little Red Corvette videos, P became a "hot" item with the ladies beginning in 1982. Largely because of Vanity, he upgraded from having a strong teen female following to grown ass women popularity as well. Also, him adding Jill Jones to the band in the videos 1999 and Automatic, also dressed in lingirie, that definately didn't hurt. Vanity in a large sense, made the persona that he had in Purple Rain possible. IF he hadn't upgraded in his female fanbase when he did, which was due to a beautiful exotic woman such as Vanity, he might not have gotten the finacial backing to make the film Purple Rain.

He was HOT before Vanity,but I think Vanity brought SEX 2 the mix and his music became really MORE SEXUAL and I would say LESS ROMANTIC then the first 2 albums and he got more FUNKIER with his sound too. I think his DESIRES and Fantasies were EXPLORED more when he was dating her. Also, if he was with such a HOT women of course you are going to call him a HOT STUD!

I was just thinking that someone more cute/sexy like Mayte or Mani would not have done what Vanity did; Vanity was a grown man's woman.

right, because Mayte and Mani are beautiful, but they didn't come across as a Playboy bunny. They were beautiful girl next door types.

Vanity look like she was Hugh Hefner protogee. She looked like a centerfold. And so did the rest of A6/V6, Jill Jones, etc.

I could not imagine Mani or Mayte convincingly singing "Nasty Girl". They weren't "nasty". You know what I mean??

Mayte & Mani are virginal

Mani wasn't an entertainer so I wouldn't even compare her 2 vanity

Remember, Vanity 6 was originally going to be called the Hookers by Prince
and Vanity was to be Vagina

So Playboy pinups was a bit of the image he wanted for them

It worked well with the UPTOWN/EROTIC CITY image

each protege then represented a part of it

the Time: city slicker gigaloes
Vanity 6: Worldy woman male Pin up images
Sheila E: innocent girl wanting to be bad and making into High Society
Enter Paisley Park
the Family: just that, lounge good life
Mazarati: night life, wild and raw

Madhouse: Hard Life, street/gangster life
Jill Jones: her album represent a wide range of Purple Music from 1982-1987

He is also not as "heavy" as he looks on this cover. He is on his way to being microscopic. He's starting to remind me of Jimeny Cricket on viagra. I'll always love him even if I can't see him right away. Maybe I'll borrow Vanities glasses.
