If, like us, your childhood dream was to become (or date) a Prince Girl , you probably watched excitedly while Vanity shimmied in her lacy boudoir undergarments or Apollonia tugged on Prince's heart-strings during Purple Rain. The Artist was notorious for hooking up with scorching hot, musically-inclined model-esque brunettes (with the exception of Kim Basinger) and making us all drool with desire (or jealousy). Curious to know who Prince deemed "the most beautiful girl in the world"? See who made our list of Top Ten Prince Girls.

http://blogs.laweekly.com..._girls.php

10) Susanna Hoffs

Whether is was an urban legend concocted by savvy publicists or Prince was actually trying to squeeze his purple people eater into a Bangle, Prince trying to woo Susanna Hoffs with what would become a hit single for The Bangles would make any girl feel like she had an obligation to hit it. Especially when "he tells me in his bedroom voice, 'C'mon, honey. Let's go make some noise.'"

9) Vanessa Marcil

The rumor that Prince wrote "The Most Beautiful Girl In The World" for now ex-girlfriend, actress Vanessa Marcil, may not be true. He had so many beautiful ethnically ambiguous babes around him, deciding who was the "most beautiful" was probably not remotely possible. But, if the lady-killing artist asked Marcil to star in the music video of the same name, she must be something special. She even wore a Prince necklace while she was starring on General Hospital.

8) Mani

Married in 2001, Manuela Testolini met Prince when she was working for one of his charitable foundations--after the era when Prince was using his musical love gun to shower girls with his "Purple Rain." After a super secret Jehovah's Witness wedding and a mysterious marriage, Mani called it off with TAFKAP and the pair got divorced in 2006.

So, what is the charitable cherub doing post-Prince? Why, she's moved on from one potentially sex addicted musician to another--Eric Benet.

7) Nona Gaye

Only daughter of soulful seducer, Marvin Gaye, singer and actress Nona Gaye was apparently Prince's youthful bride-to-be. In what may have been the romantic delusions of a love-dumb teenager, Gaye has said that Prince told people he wanted to marry her and take care of her. Prince showed his love by inviting Gaye to one of his shows--where she got to witness the newly-placed diamond on now ex-wife Mayte's finger.

6) Kim Basinger

'80s blonde sex bomb, Kim Basinger, probably met her match in Prince Rogers Nelson--at least for the small amount of time they dated while she was playing Vicki Vale in Batman and he was writing the soundtrack songs. Allegedly, while Prince and Basinger were recording "Scandalous," they had an incident with a pot of honey on the mixing board and most of Basinger's moans weren't acting.

interesting list. thing is, its being perpetually re-mixed, cause Misty would definitely be on it. i wonder if they even KNEW of Bria or even Troy Beyer who would definitely make MY list, as would Ingrid Chavez

The only list Tamar is worthy of is Top Ten Prince Fashion Disasters.

^ Tamar is cute.

She'salso a big ole fashion disaster.

Vanity is bad. She is the true no.1. These lists just dont know lol.

You're right she wasn't, but she's still considered a "Prince Girl" because she's like a protege.

I think Sheila E is the ultimate Prince Girl though She has tenure.

I don't know how any list can place Vanity at any spot but #1. She was the original and the majority of the others were an attempt to fill that mode. JMHO

Anna Fantastic should be on that list.

As well as Jill Jones!

They also featured the wrong Susannah. Just saying...

wow, I just noticed that. you are right!

Boy they should have just not even bother to write this article.

They missed some very significant people and included some who weren't even involved with Prince.

I agree. With that thinking, Wendy, Lisa and even Shelby, Rhonda and Candy coTheuld be on those lists. The first list made it sound like girls he dated....he clearly never dated Apollonia. It was semi implied even though they never made appearances as a couple. And he never dated Sussanna. Jill Jones should be on the list, but she isn't mainstream enough. It's a dumb list.

NightGod said:

Not mainsream enough or, in the case of Mani, not a wife. Lazy list.

And if they were going for mainstream, doesn't make sense that Sheena Easton isn't on there. As someone else said, why bother writing it?

[Edited 3/13/11 7:29am]

Old School Prince fans who have been there from the very beginning will tell you that Vanity is the original prototypical Prince babe - all others follow her. I agree that calling Apollonia the no. 1 Prince babe is factually and historically questionable and seemingly influenced by her Purple Rain exposure. I like the fact that Nona Gaye was even acknowledged as she is offten left out of the Prince babe discussions altogether.

A clear and definite definition of a Prince girl/Prince babe/Prince chick may be in order. If a Prince babe is oen that he dated and/or banged, then APples may not belong on the list at all. You would then have to add the chick from the Madhouse album cover, Moneca Lightner (check spelling).

But at the end of the day, Prince babe = Vanity (80s version). Point blank.

The entire Top Ten list should read VANITY. For me, no one mattered after her, not even JJ.

And Shelia, and Lisa and Wendy, Susan and Brenda ... they simiply transcend the topic.

Actually the first attempt was with Sueann Carwell, he made a lot of recordings with her that have not been released, he wanted to sign her and change her name but she refused and signed with Warner Bros instead. He also auditioned her for The Time along with Alexander O'Neill but signed Morris Day (who was originally Sueann's drummer)

"During this time, Prince graduated from high school on June 7, 1976, which happened to be his 18th birthday. During the next 8 months, Prince worked in Moon's studio, spending many weekends on his own, laying down all the instruments for the music he and Moon wrote together. Prince played on several of Moon's advertising jingles and recorded with a local artist named Sue Ann Carwell. They demoed several songs together of which two later appeared on the 'For You' album ~ 'Soft and Wet' and 'My Love Is Forever'. Another song, 'Since We've Been Together', was the first tune Prince copyrighted at ASCAP, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers." http://www.princefams.com....php?id=10

Sue Ann is considered Prince's first protege as she was apart of an early formation of The Time.

Vanity 6 inspiration came from a 3 girl group called the Myst who he saw perform at the Nacirema (American spelled backwards) where Prince's group Grand Central, and Flyte Tyme (members Jellybean, Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam, Sueann, and Cynthia Johnson of note) used to perform...

http://www.citypages.com/...ion/15027/

Anyway, Vanity is by far the first real female project that led to more of the same but she wasn't the first and wasn't the inspiration. Prince is by far always willing to push the envelope, is extremely creative, but a pure businessman who is able to recognize what sells and revamps it in a way that is uniquely Prince. Pure genius.

I'm still waiting for the day when Prince will consult the Org on which and what kind of girl friend that he should date... The twelfth of NEVER!
