I agree with many of the responses here that Prince is smaller than you imagine. Standing next to him during the aftershow was a trip. I thought, "and he kicked Murphy's ass in basketball!" (Dave Chappelle Show)

for those asking, it's the outdoor newsstand on the intersection of wilshire and charleville in beverly hills. go ask the owner if prince comes by at noon on sundays and if he was there on monday, he'll say yes.

This reminds me of when he stood behind Appollonia in PR. I think I would have put down the magazine, turned around & winked at him and walked away.

Also, I'm pretty sure Prince is actually bigger than me (I'm 4'11 and 100 lbs) but I wonder if even I'd be struck by his size? I don't tend to notice so much other small people if they're bigger than me anyways....

I am still on cloud nine.

I work in Beverly Hills and always peruse a nearby outdoor magazine stand on my lunch break that's on Wilshire. For you non-Los Angeleans, it's basically the main drag through Beverly Wills and Westwood. Anyhow, at around 1:35pm ish LA time, I walk past and start to check out the rags, feeling the Monday blahs. Nothing really interested me, so I continued to walk past and did a complete double take--I thought, God, what a cheesy Prince impersonator. Teased black hair, really heavy black eyeliner, and a the TAFKAP love symbol necklace that looked gawdy as hell. All black, long pants, long sleeves--holy FUCK THAT is FUCKING PRINCE!!!!! I turned to see a large black SUV and a hispanic, heftly looking driver that the short man was handing magazines to, one by one. It was him. I shamelessly walked back toward the section he was standing in and stood directly to his left. I picked up "Arena" and pretended to look at the pictures and he walked behind me and STOOD DIRECTLY TO MY RIGHT FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS!!!! I was too terrified to turn my head and look him in the eye and/or say ANYTHING (I am so regretful)...he browsed through a music magazine (I think it was Q), then I watched him walk back toward his driver. The voice was unmistakable..."Just these ones" as he passed the last magazine. That's when I caught my best glimpse, from behind. He has the TINIEST legs I have ever seen on an adult human being, male or female. It looked like his pants were seriously polyester. His shoulders, his frame, his back, is all so TINY! I've seen the man up close in concert but he looks so much grander up there...On his same level ground he is a fucking manorexic shrimp, shockingly so.

He got in the SUV and that was that. The Hispanic man paid for the magazines and took off. I asked the magazine stand owner why he was not that phased and he said that P usually swings by on Sundays around noon, when there aren't too many people to notice him. But it was so shocking...P wasn't trying to be incognito at all! The hair, makeup, clothes, and especially the necklace were a dead giveaway! I thought it was an impersonator! Only another small group of people seemed to notice, and they were so not subtle, the girl got a picture of her friend whom she was pretending to shoot with P ten feet away and just barely in the frame and then shouted with excitement. P did not react.

If anyone doesn't believe me, I don't care, google some paparazzi images on Prince from 4/23/07.

OMG I can't believe it!!!!! I'm so fucking amazed I saw him on the street in person. Coolest thing ever.

Am I the only one slightly disturbed by the obsessive nature of the text used in the orginal statement, and even more so by the responses!?!?!?!

Where does he find the time 2 read all those magazines, and why would he bother?

Cool story though. I wouldve suggested another magazine.

You should of just said/belted "WHAT A GAUDY PRINCE IMPERSONATER, GOSH!" and see what happened. Actually...you should probably never do that

I wanna see Prince...
