Devin Devaquez memoir: The day it snowed in April

since there is a thread about Maytes memoir, let's discuss Devin's book. there are some goodies in her book, the one thing that stood out to me was how Eddie murphy told Sylvester Stallone ( whom she was dating later on) that Devin f**k prince, Sylvester Stallone was furious!. maybe SS has a problem with dating white women who'd slept with black men in the past. confused confused confused

I actually just saw this book on Amazon today myself. It's interesting to me that she wrote a book (as did Sheila E) but some fans don't seem to be in an uproar about that. I'm actually surprised she even got a book deal but I guess anything having to do with Prince passes for acceptable these days. I didn't realize she was married to Ron Moss from the Bold and the Beautiful either.

I'm equal opportunity about all these books. This one was a LOT of filler, especially for the back half, but yes she goes there. Also more about how he can be what I like to call a "charming savage".

.
If you have Amazon Kindle unlimited, you can read it for free.

.

There's a groupie one too by Andrea Foy. Exasperating to read lololol I spent that entire book like "Okay here's what you SHOULD have done..."

It was tasteful not salacious, she didn't go robin Power style in the book, it was sweet and respectful. She said he was perfect in the bedroom.

I think she actually might be an org member? But she was a flight attendent who got hooked up in the early 90's with free tickets to his shows around the world, then eventually moved to Minneapolis and went to Paisley/Glam slam parties all the time. The book describes those experiences and flirtations she had with P.
.
I can't entirely reccomend it, but it was entertaining nonetheless.

Oh please...If he laid a hammer on ya, just stop pussyfooting around and say it.

They know they wanna tell, why pretend?

I'd never do it, but if if if if if I wrote a book about someone that I knew everyone wanted to know how they were in bed...and it was good...I'd write:

Page 1 Yes, it was good, Page 2 Yes it was big...The end

Sheesh Is that so hard?

Sheila's book wasn't just entirely about Prince. Anyone who wants to write a book or story about their time with Prince is ok with me as long as it isn't trashy. If they have great memories, I see no issue in sharing. Devin seems like a cool person even though she may have given a little bit of TMI, but wasn't doing it to be mean.

Am I the only one who wants to vomit that people are interested in this shit? I honestly couldn't care less about women Prince had flings with and how good he was (or wasn't) in bed. I especially couldn't care less about women who are only infamous for that. barf

I remember while looking at P guitar face pics awhile back I wondered if P ever had an orgasm while playing because it definitely looks like an orgasm face...Devin mentions that in the early part of the book she asks him that very thing and him saying yes he sometimes did. wink

I wondered if anyone was going to mention that. Had to read it twice to be sure I'd just read that. I'm sure claiming P actually got off on stage was supposed to be the "big reveal" for the book, but I don't see where it's caused much of a fuss so far. If it is true, and of course we can never know for sure, it's less a salacious detail to me than it is a testament to the sheer power of fantasy. Could he go there? Dunno, but if anyone ever could...

All I know is if you watch P in live performance, there are certain notes he hits when he makes that face and that's why I asked about it in that other thread cuz at first it was going over my head then one day I caught it but I figured I could'nt be seeing that...right?...But then I was like, nah I know an orgasmic face and that looks like one...Plus, we had already been finding gazillions or P with erections during performance, but I wasn't seeing that as sexual excitement due to the actual sound of the music, I figured he was amped by the energy from performing or maybe had seen a pretty girl.

But that's pretty deep to think that the actual music was orgasmic to him. I wonder how well known that was amoung his bandmates and were they all sorta shrugging and immune to it.

Hmmm...I find that so interesting as a nurse. Like how the body could be triggered that way with music. Wow.

I wonder if there are any studies about that type of happening with a test group.

I think Stallone freaking out probably had less to do with Prince being black and more to do with simple , good ol´fashioned jealousy.

Alec Baldwin and Sean Penn are not known to be racist, and yet they had a problem with Prince, too, because he was with Madonna and Kim Basinger (their wives, or ex-wives). wink

Yeah, I think it was more jealousy than racism, too.

I thought about that, too. But assuming he didn't care (Vanity did say he was completely uninhibited, both in and out of the bedroom), then there certainly was opportunity. He "dressed right" and went commando. That much we know because he showed us. And the solid guitar body hangs to the right so, yeah, it's possible.

The only man who ever wore his guitars out from the front *and* the back.

The very thought that P could accomplish that to full completion without touching himself, simply from the sound of the music, and possibly the act of performing the music, is astounding to me.

And also has to be extraordinarily rare, don't you think?

Which explains alot to me about him constantly being in a loop of making music and why his music was so sexual in focus and so sensual in nature...makes sense if you think about it simply being like a teenaged boy discovering masturbation and doing it every change he gets.

eek

Maybe he did, maybe he didn't who knows, but that face is pretty standard guitar solo face. Watch other performances by other stellar guitar players, maybe they are all chizzing themselves, or maybe they are feeling the music in their face, it is a pretty expressive body part...
