Howcome P doesn't look short?

I hear from everybody that Prince is a really short guy. But when I see him onstage and on TV he looks tall. I mean I was no more than 15 feet away from him and his height didn't seem to arouse my attention at all.

Short people don't look short until you stand us next to a normal sized person.

I got within about 4 feet of him at an aftershow party and he is short. He looked like a little action figure of himself, it was surreal!

back in the Purple Rain era he wore the buttons down the side of his pants to make him look taller, I guess he doesnt care anymore because the white pants really made his legs look shorter at the Oscars

4-5 Inch heels help that. He still looks short despite them.

How can someone misunderstand height? Tall, short, or in between.(not too many other choses)
Doesn't it make you smile when you realize no one was there to see the stupid thing you just did?

Far away P looks normal sized and on TV they fix him up real nice but if i ever get a chance to meet Prince I am bringing measuring tape with me to put an end to this for once and for all. Bur for real without heels P is between 4 ft 11inches and 5feet 1 inches but he's soooo sexy. drool
Haters travel in packs and they are offended or threatened by klhk, haters express intense hostility toward the subject of hate. Haters are annoyed and roll thier eyes when klhk is paid a compliment. ask yourself, are u a hater?
