He wore them on stage at the Capri in 1979: https://www.rrauction.com...fm?IN=6066 Sheila is selling stage gear. Susannah is selling jewelry worn on stage and weird art she doesn't want anymore.

But she kept it all this time. Seems like you would want it now more than ever. Or was she just waiting till he died?? I don't get that.

Who could say? Maybe she was cleaning out a closet -- to me, looking at how similar a lot of what she's selling is -- that would make sense.

I still have random stuff given to me by exes. Some of it's personal and most of it isn't. Why would I get rid of clothing or art or jewelry right away just because it's from an ex?

.

She probably still has things Prince gave her (it's not like anything in that list seemed DEEPLY personal or frankly particularly interesting or notable, just stage jewelry and art, mostly, minus the notebook), but if she can make some money (let's not forget the auction house is going to take a lot of that cash) and bring a buyer the joy of owning something once owned by Prince, why not?

Those leg warmers have holes in them and I would think his cross and engagement rings would be personal. She needs to stop being delusional and take some of this stuff to Goodwill.

I never said they were not hers to sell. I would think after 30 years or so these things would not be in good shape and old clothes do smell. You do not dry clean leg warmers. It is gross and weird but if you want to pay $7500 go ahead and knock yourself out and keep ignoring the obvious.






yeah I'll say it again. So you think Prince gave her stinking gross leg warmers. comment not question



Yes, I do and I think they still stink and her gross after 30 years. Let me make myself plain who the hell keeps something like that. Trust me this crap is being discussed on other forums she looks like a nut ball.



It is know different then when he use to throw that belly chain out into the crowd at concerts who wants something that near his nutsack. I bet she has the Dirty Mind draws as well who wants somthing like that clean or dirty.

You can wash leg warmers they aren't under garments they are like sweaters for your legs. Dancers keep them for years and prefer them when they start to look old and used. I love leg warmers! They are most def cool. I don't get why she would part with them. She kept them all these years either because she was sentimental or because she wanted to later make a buck. The timing seems like the latter. How could she part with the things if they held sentimental value???

I am old enough to remember leg warmers from the 80s and I doubt very many people have kept them from the 80s unless they are hoarders. Those things have holes in them.?

Engagement rings? Did I miss that item or are you thinking of something else? I saw some engagement cards that actually pre-date the engagement. Prince writing is rare, someone's gonna want it, but it's hardly an engagement letter or beautiful correspondence that you might want to read later.

.

You said it yourself that you wouldn't want that hip chain.

.

The leg warmers are stage-worn by Prince. Holes or not. There's rattier, more questionable shit in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame.

.

Why take it to Goodwill when she can both make some money and bring a Prince fan who buys it some joy? Just because you don't want it doesn't mean no one SHOULD want it.

I read something I posted, where it said Denise Matthews got rid of most things that reminded her of her time as Vanity. After her 'Road of Damascus' experience?

I don't know if this means just the music/videos or including clothing etc

“When I came to the Lord Jesus Christ, I threw out about 1,000 tapes of mine—every interview, every tape, every video. Everything,” she said.

https://world.wng.org/2016/02/from_vanity_to_christ_remembering_singer_denise_matthews

“I don’t listen to my old music of Vanity’s,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “I sing to Jesus for Jesus now.”

http://religionnews.com/2016/02/16/nasty-girl-turned-evangelist-denise-matthews-dead-at-57/

“Demons were coming into my bed and sleeping in my bed. Those things will happen if you’re carrying on like I did. I have a strong love for Jesus Christ. He delivered me from anguish, death and sin. I get excited by God. No man shall enter the Kingdom of God unless he is born again. I got rid of all the lingerie and cleaned house,” she explained.

‘Vanity’ means worthlessness, and that’s the last thing I want to be known for. And I’m not worthless anymore. My name is Denise.”

Toban, could you please explain this more- about teh demons coming into her bed--- I've heard her say this a few times- once she said someone saw her levitating over her bed although she was sleeping and didn't know until someone told her-- she said they got in bed with her at night. Can you please explain more of what happened?

It seems Denise fought hard to rid herself of that persona, and name.

I could be wrong about the rings ( I hope I am ) I know his writing is rare but those notes to her are personal and it is crass to sell them.

My point is " Who keeps this nasty stuff? " next someone will be selling a lock of his hair ( gross and weird) and I have never heard of anyone's leg warmers, underware or waist chains hanging up in the Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame.

I do not think that Susannah is going to get $7,5000 for his used leg warmers and I do not really care if some old stinking leg warmers brings someone joy because I know they need to seek mental health treatment.

Susannannha needs to go get a job and stay away from bum ass men who refuse to take care of their children and think about utlizing the court system to get some child support.

Again....another thread that has veered off course into Vanity territory. What is going on? Why has Vanity suddenly become the topic of threads that are not remotely related to her?

EDITED TO ADD: there are currently SIX active threads about Vanity in the AA&P Forum and an additional two have gone off topic....that is EIGHT threads about her. Guess it is clear which Prince protégé/ex can be discussed at length w/o fear of censorship and/or members who create discord in an attempt to quash discussion as it may relate to other associated artists/protégés, etc.

the movement of death among people is a strange thing.


.


I know a woman who loved her husband, was right by his side in all his ventures.
But when he died, she shut it all down, buried him, got her hair done differently and moved away.


.


A coworker of mine passed away in 2007 -wonderful human -was assisting a friend in Africa in getting a successful modern well, contracted malaria, when he was coming back to the states is when the Louisianna travesty occured. As soon as he was adjusted he volunteered to help out down there without pay from his job. He stopped taking the medicine for a day when he reentered the states and became sick. After he got back a few months later he and some friends went on a hike on a mountain and he had a heart attack and died.


.


He had a wife and 2 junior high age daughters, his father was still alive etc


.


I remember it was about 2yrs or a little less when a woman called me to say she had a bunch of thing of his she had to drop off. For some reason I thought it was a lady from the company that provides uniforms and such for us. I went out to meet her and it was my coworkers wife, she had a light smile on her face, and passed a box of his things to us. That revolved around his job. His job was a huge part of his life outside of work as well. She was done with a period of mourning.





I am hearing you, the timing doesn't suit my personal internal clock. If Andre or the Time started doing these things wouldn't you think it weird?


cannot judge


Death is weird


it just fucks up everything


.


Now I'm still shaken up that Andre said when he left the band he never listened to another Prince album. Not till after Prince died. That is weird.


.


But death reminds us we could go at anytime. If messes up our ideas of 'possessions'


My parents gave me 'the talk' about 2 yrs ago. It was extremely weird and uncomfortable. They may live to see 100, but that isn't promised.


I was thinking about all this when Prince personal assistant Karen K started selling off things. last year.


.


Whose to say. Eric Leeds has things up there too, Susannah isn't the only one.


.


I've seen Prince albums being sold in eclectic music stores. People who obviously owned them and now parting with them. My reaction is 'Oh shhiii...' and then 'man how could they get 'rid' of this?' and then I think again that for some people his death means 'the party is over' I cannot say why they did.



.


Another 'weird' occurance since he passed is the tons of images private/professional that have and still are coming out everywhere. Why didn't people release these prior? Did they feel they were too special to share? where they afraid of any Prince kick back?






I can agree that I cannot judge them. I am hoping for one pic that shows Prince lost in all "unaware of the camera" happiness. Kinda like the one of Kim berry doing his hair, his face so relaxed. If I have missed this pic please direct me to it.

Alright....apparently, Jill is angry that her part in the Prince narrative has been deemed irrelevant by some. As someone said previously (maybe OF4S?), she should have hashed this out with Prince. Her continuous angry outbursts on social media are getting tiresome. I can't imagine she will realize any tangible results with her constant ranting. And furthermore, I am weary of her "whitewashing" argument. To me, she appears to be a petulant child throwing tantrums in the hope that someone will finally notice her.

Right. So, I guess I'll simply disregard the fact that you did engage me in conversation (your reply #164) and further, quoted a word, "rant" (just to be clear) I used in my response to your request to "get us back on track then". Because that doesn't remotely look like any kind of forum interaction. *shrugs*....ok. If you say so. 😉

It is here^^^^ where I thought you perhaps had gotten in the weeds, cause you didn't want to talk about Vanity yet were asking questions, then edited it to add
More about Vanity, so it wasn't a request to stop talking about her as it was
More a hand to help you up out of the weeds.

Again....another thread that has veered off course into Vanity territory. What is going on? Why has Vanity suddenly become the topic of threads that are not remotely related to her?

Oh....so, you were helping me? Ah ha! Gosh, I didn't even realize that my questioning the off topic direction of the thread was me veering into the weeds. I thought I was helping all the Vanity contributors realize that there was ample opportunity to discuss her in the named topics already available so that they might not continue to blatantly violate the fifth bullet point of the forum rules. Huh....imagine that.

Perhaps I'm wrong but you entered the conversation it seems
Just to scold, unless I missed your input to keeping the thread on track

Alright....apparently, Jill is angry that her part in the Prince narrative has been deemed irrelevant by some. As someone said previously (maybe OF4S?), she should have hashed this out with Prince. Her continuous angry outbursts on social media are getting tiresome. I can't imagine she will realize any tangible results with her constant ranting. And furthermore, I am weary of her "whitewashing" argument. To me, she appears to be a petulant child throwing tantrums in the hope that someone will finally notice her.

To scold? Well, this tells me all I need to know. Frankly, when you and your stans get to talking and stroking each other about your favorite topic, I don't think anything will keep you on track. So, have at it....next time I'll point it out to the mods. Apparently, that's what they're here for.

Politely I say , that if your not of color your not in the position to tire of a person of color's "Rant" as you put it. My feeling.

She has a proper gripe about crediting. Even though Prince didn't do so much on the original PR album.

.

But I think the race stuff... a lot of people especially african-American -non hardcore fans don't know that JJ is part Black. Eevn JJ talked about that being an issue during the promotion of her 87 album. I just really don't think race has anything to do with it. There are a lot of serious areas that should be and need to be address as far as race and various ethnicities (including mixed race) not to mention gender etc I just harken back to Janet Hubert's reply to Jada Pinkett-Smith...
