Read this excerpt from "BLAME IT ON VANITY" - The Book posted on www.blameitonvanity.com:

"MY FIRST MEETING WITH PRINCE....AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS

"AND THERE STOOD A YOUNG MAN, AWAITING MY SMILE, WITH A SHORT FISHING LINE AND A VERY LARGE HOOK IN HIS HAND. AFTER HE EXECUTED AND I DIGESTED HIS MOST STRANGE, INTELLECTUALLY ARTICULATIVE, POETICALLY ASTOUNDING, VERBAL QUEST FOR COMMUNICATION, I YEILDED.I CAN'T PRETEND IT WAS NO SURPRISE WHAT TOOK PLACE WITHIN THE MORE THAN MINUTE MEETING WHICH HE CLEVERY CONFISCATED AND I THOROUGHLY ENJOYED.

"CAMERAS WERE HOVERING ABOUT, HONING IN, INTERROGATING FOR IMPRESSIVE SUBJECT MATERIAL. I, SOMEWHAT CONFUSED - MUCH LIKE THE GREAT FALL OF BABYLON - FROM THE SEMI-AUTOMATIC BOMBASTIC EXPLOSIAN OF QUESTIONS ON MY RIGHT, BUT I RECALL ONLY ONE THAT MATTERED? WHO IS THE LOVELY LADY PRINCE? WAS HE REALLY SPEAKING OF ME? GRABBING TIGHT MY HAND AND YANKING ME TO HIS SIDE HE REPLIED DEFIANTLY, "THIS IS MY WIFE.".........................."

eek



Oh dear, just what I was afraid of.neutral Confusing as when I used to try to decode her lyrics on her Wild Animal album. Well, Denise definitely kept the same writing style that Vanity had...

In any case, I'm glad that after 16 years of hearing about this book and years of it being on pre-order that you people that pre-ordered it are finally going to get your book...hopefully. Let us know after you read it if you thought it was worth the wait or not.

To Felix: as someone else asked, how does Denise look? Does she look like she did when she was on TBN back in 2008 or does she look different? How is her health?

As far as I can judge I don't like this writing style that much. Sorry Denise. wink

I would like to hear it straight and clear what is on your mind, heart and soul.

She is a friendly, beautiful person. She always was very good to me and

I can only talk positiv about Denise. yes

I totally agree with you--from people on the org who have met her recently, and what i saw on a recent religious show--Denise seems like a really down to earth person who lives what she beleives...And she is still beautful as a woman! Good for her! But in saying that, Denise should have had someone else write her book or at leat edit...because the excerpt that I put on here from her website is really...really bad writing! confused

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

thanks for the info smile can you tell us how Denise looked health-wise? We know she had several surgeries at the end of 2009.

Denise is looking good. she is a little skinny but she says she was at 90 pounds when she was in the hospital last year. She is full of energy though and very positive towards life.

[Edited 7/26/10 13:34pm]

Aww it's good to read she is doing ok after the surgeries. Thanks for the update Felix cool

One minute they want peace……

Then do everything to make it go away. rolleyes

She is more than down to earth, she is a wonderful person!

That she changed so much is the best that happend in her life.

She is full of love and passion for her new way , it's really infectious biggrin

I think I really have to email her now. lol

I emailed her from her website not more than two days ago. I got a phone call from her assistant this aftrnoon who said she had received my message, appreciatedd my patience and the book will be shipped shortly. I have nothing bad to say about Denise. I believe she's a good, decent woman with a beautiful spirit. She's not out to scam anybody. God bless her.

Its like that friend that borrows money from you and tells you "I'll pay you back next week" and next week turns into three years later. Its not that they didn't mean to not pay you back, but it was just not that high on their priority list. lol

Can you describe the cover? how much of it would you say is photograps and how much is writing? What sort of photographs are in the book? Only new stuff, or photos harking back to the vanity days?

blah blah blah

So why was Prince carrying around a fishing line and a big hook?? I can't really understand anything she is saying.

She's talking about his come-on line. It was short and to the point and it hooked her big time.....................

1) Does she talk about sex with Prince ? 2) Does she talk about his personality or funny things he did r when he got angry?

Do not walk beside me, either. Just leave me the hell alone rolleyes

I'm starting to think this is yet another delay tactic as those who said they'd received it suddenly can't post pictures, discuss what's in the book and have gone very quiet.

I emailed Denise on Tuesday (July 27th), asking if there has been an update on the book's release.

Her assistant replied : Yes, the books are here. Denise & I are currently emailing everyone ourselves to reconfirm their shipping address. Like yourself, it has been some time (I pre-ordered the book December 2008) and some of you may have relocated. Please confirm your address and we will ship your book right away.....

Will see if my links work for the cover of the book and a couple of pages of pics.
