When I first became a fan (1995), his name was a symbol and I took it VERY seriously. Some embarassment arose from that whole situation.
1. I drew his symbol on EVERYTHING I owned: Binder, backpack, clock radio. I was only 13, and couldn't afford any real symbol stickers or patches, so all of my stuff had a lopsided, handwritten symbol on it, in gold pen no less. 2. I did a project in my 8th grade art class using his symbol (it involved many, many layers of hand cut paper, took forever!). I then decided that it was the ONE piece I wanted displayed in the school art show, even though it wasn't nearly my best work. It got a lot of attention at the art show, not all positive though. I guess someone even requested that it get taken down! Bastards! 3. This is the most embarassing thing, especially since his name is no longer a symbol. I would go ballistic if anyone called him PRINCE! I would seriously start screaming, "No! He is NOT PRINCE! He's THE ARTIST! Get it right!" People thought I was was out of my damn mind. Imagine how silly I felt when he changed his name back. Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

this was in 1999---- just as the publicity was coming out ... for the Prince-remake of "1999".... i remember reading something about it ... and thinking ... this is a great idea ... for Prince ... and marketing etc ....
we were in a "professional office" type ... environment ... and i was like sooo excited .... (why ? why ? why? cus he was finally gonna do something that might get played???--- admittedly ... my life was outta control at the time ... ) ... but there was a really cute hot gal working there ... and i told her this ... "newsworthy " bit of information ... and this gal .... without missing a beat --- looked at me ... with such disdain ... and ridiculousness ..... like "oh ... that freak , Prince ... he was popular in 1982 ...." .... i was hiding under the chair for a week ...  | |

alwayslate said: I used to write dumb erotic fantasies about him when I was going through puberty and uh, discovering myself. There was one about me being forced into an arranged marriage with an older stranger.
On my wedding day I was wearing a veil that I couldn't see through, and of course I was extremely sad. When the ceremony was over, my veil was lifted and there was my new husband. Prince. Well I'll skip to the end. He got me alone, ripped off my gown and uh, deflowered me, quite er, violently (i watched too many R-rated films when I was young). And made me uh, pleasure him in ways I should never have even heard of at that age. My mother found it.
Needless to say, I never wrote down any of my private thoughts again. ROTFLMAO!  good gawd thanx for sharin' that with us cause we all know you didn't have to!
oops, put it within the quote edit [Edited 9/6/06 10:15am] "not a fan" yeah...ok | |

When my buddies and I go out on Saturday night to the bars of London, I slip into "Christopher Tracy" mode from time to time.
When talking to a girl I fancy, I often pull his "I-know-something-sexy-you-don't" smile and my eyes dart upwards/left. I noticed P does that a lot in UTCM and on stage a lot to the audience, as if to say "you-guys-are-in-for-such-a-treat-but-don't-know-it". | |

After seeing Purple Rain for the first time, my girlfriend gave me my birthday present and then told me she was going for a new job interview the next day. I gave a hard wallop across the face just like The Kid does in Purple Rain, knocking her to the ground.
And I also got my buddies to dump my ex-girlfriend upside down in a trashcan outside my house, like Jerome Benton did also in Purple Rain. Embarrassing I know!! p.s. only kidding ;-0) | |

Kiss came on in a club so I stripped to the waist to show off the symbol tattoo on my arm, pointed to it, pointed to the sky and screamed 'Aaaaaa-wah' Prince-style.
This was last week. | |

Me and my brother got terribly fake fake i.d.'s so we could get in to an aftershow (I think it was at the Warfield? Back in 1989 or somethin)
Looking back on that now, I'm 100% positive the bouncer knew it was a fake (a Check Cashing I.D. card haahaa!!) but probably just didn't have the heart to turn me away . . . . .my brother, on the other hand, wasn't so lucky. He eventually snuck in when one of the bouncers wasn't lookin' . . . seconds before Prince came on and it was all good after that. We were actin' so crazy stupid up in the balcony (man, BALCONY seats! unheard of now!!) Prince told us to sit down [Edited 9/6/06 18:38pm] | |

I got tossed in the Principal's office for going down the hall singing "Darling Nikki". I got as far as "masturabating with a magazine" and the principal grabbed my ass and threw me in detention! I love a Man who:

Today, I took all of the CDs in the Prince section at Barnes & Noble, and put them in order of their release dates. There were 20 different ones, so it took a minute or so. Wanna hear me sing? www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

1. As a kid I used to write in "Princeabolics" thinking it was cool!
2. I had a black paisley suit! 3. I followed the tour bus back to a hotel, then on to a restaurant in London and took the table next to the band! 4. I had the Lovesexy cover stuck on my Art portfolio folder at college! 5. I once attempted a "re-paint" of the Purple rain face on a wall. It was scary! 6. I slept out overnight 5 times for tickets! 7. I tried to pull off wearing some stacey Adams (I'm white)! 8. Me and my school mate always used to do the little two fingered greet like Morris and Jerome! 9. Even now, when a prince film comes on TV, I stay up and watch it, even though I have them in better quality on DVD! 10. I once tried to convince someone that "News" was good! . |

While in Junior High, for about six months I made sure EVERY piece of class work, homework, or any assignment for school had Prince's name on it somewhere. In teeny letters at the top, bottom, back, or front of every paper/worksheet/report, etc., HAD to have Prince's name on it someplace.
Oh, also trying to imitate the closeup shot at the beginning of Purple Rain, once when my mom wasn't home, I put on some of her heavy eyeliner like Prince (I was a 12 year old boy). I forgot to remove all of it and later that night as she was close to me helping me with my homework, she looked at me and said, "what's that on your eye's", which freaked me out.
I hope Prince read this thread so he can see how much he affected so many of us and the things so many of us did out of love and admiration for him. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

One more thing, I saw the male/female symbol on the front of his Purple Rain motorcycle back in 84', and decided to have that symbol somewhere in my room. So I bought a huge poster board, cut out a large sized symbol, colored it purple, and placed it outside of my bedroom door. I had no idea that some people could interpret that as my saying I was bisexual. I am convinced Beyonce's career would not be where it is, if she had dark skin. | |

When i was at school i used to write on the covers of my books, things like"I must confess,i wanna get undressed & go to bed" & "I really get a dirty mind,whenever you're around".I must have sounded like a right slapper!
Also,when i first met a boy(who is now my husband) i wrote him a love letter saying"I'm nothing without your love my love,i'm nothing without your kiss,to spend each night in your arms is my idea of bliss,to not see you each day is to die 7 times by God's wrath,if i were anything other than human i'd want to be the soap in your bath!" What i didn't tell him is that i got it from UTCM.But i was so embarrassed when i made him watch it with me a few months later & that bit came on.Obviously he didn't mind too much,we've been married 4 15 years. In a mirror where your sweet reflection used to be. | |

Excellent! I once wrote a boy a letter with bits and pieces from Automatic. And I forgot to mention another one: My best friend and I made up songs that had to do with weed that went along with Prince songs (I used to be a pothead in HS. I'm now anti-drug). Anyway, Erotic City became Doobster City, When Doves Cry became When I'm High and When 2 R in Love became When U R on Drugs. They were quite funny and we would perform them for anyone who would listen. Nice, huh? | |
