...the young lady that won a date with Prince many years ago, I think it was to go to the premiere of "Under the Cherry Moon". Is she still a Prince fan I wonder?



{Yesh, I'm bored, is it the weekend yet?}

I heard it ended with her slapping Prince & telling him that she wasn't that kind of girl.

Oh she knew she loved it. Coy little vixen.


So I guess she disappeared off the face of the earth?

There is a MySpace page which seemingly belongs to her but then again it might only be shenanigans, although I cannot imagine many people going to the trouble of creating a page impersonating her.

WOW!!! Is this for real? What the hell?

morningsong said:

Yeah, where is she now? Who was it?

No. He didn't really talk to her much (big surprise), but if I remember it correctly, he did played with her hair. It was a whole MTV publicity thing lots of media.

That would be interesting to check out, see if she's still a fan. What's it been about 20 years almost?

Whoa. and where was I during all of this ?

Didn't U say in the "Under 21" thread that U are only 15?
Um, I was only a sophomore in college in 1986, so U were:

"2007 minus 1986....carry the one...."
NOT BORN YET

Sheridan,Wyoming...

Lisa Barber.she was the 20th caller in a contest.

"are you people ready for prince to come to town?"

the premeire of under the cherry moon

who all was in attendance?

sheila e
mazarati
jerome benton
martha quinn from mtv.
prince's father(and he had a date on his arm if i'm not mistaken)
kids(yes.there were kids getting down to the funk as well.)and hotel patrons,etc.

when prince went to pick lisa barber up he was wearing the kiss outfit.she was getting made up in downtown wyoming and you saw the dj talking about the parade album and he was wearing a black t-shirt with the "under the cherry moon" screen. (the one that's on the vhs box) reporters asked prince what he thought of sheridan:

"purple that's all i can say"

it then goes into where martha quinn is interviewing lisa and she's wearing a strand of pearls that prince gave her to wear for the mini concert. as i recall because the ballroom at the holiday inn was too small prince wasn't going to do a show there but lisa convinced him. after a few minutes Kristin scott-Thomas begins talking and then you see a hand on her shoulder. it's prince's.

Martha Quinn: so prince how are you feeling tonight?
(at this point jerome, lisa barber and martha are all holding microphones and they're switching back and forth to give prince one)

Prince: "I Feel With My Hands,Martha."

ok.i'm stopping right there.

as a sidenote,judging from what i saw,prince wasn't letting lisa(or those pearls she was wearing) out of his sight because he whispered something in her ear and then she took them off.

the suit prince had on was similiar to the one he had on for his b-day performance in detroit except in this case, it was white, not yellow.

i can tell more but i'll let somebody else fill in the rest.

I will confess to you guys that I CALLED Lisa Barber the week after the premier! yes, her number was located by me by simply calling "information"
I asked her the typical dumb questions,was he nice? (yes he was) did he talk? (he was shy, but he did make conversation) has he called you since? ( his publicist has) Mind you this was 20 years ago! so I was young!!

I read an interview that Lisa Barber gave after meeting Prince, and she said something like "He was a great date, even if he didn't give me back my pearls (she had a pearl necklace)". My God girl, you got to meet Prince, and you bitch about him taking your necklace? Be glad you got the chance to hang with him, lots of women (including myself) would love to have been in your shoes.

She was kind of heavy set, and was dressed in a very matronaly dress. I remember her saying that they had brought her outfits to choose from, as she usually does her clothes shopping at K-mart.
