happyhappy said: netzverwalter said: What makes me wonder a little: is he alone on his way nowadays. I mean, ok - he is a human being like we all, but with a little more money and a little more fame. Isn't it kind of dangerous to be all alone on an airport!
When I last saw him in Berlin the bodyguards didn't even let him out of the tour bus because we have been appr. 100 m away with a camera in our hand. So they waited till we left to let him out. greats netzverWalter that pic looks cropped/zoomed so maybe he's not alone? For me it looks like he is alone - when you are with somebody you would have a look at him/her or talk or something else - for me it 4sure looks like he is alone ... | |

Anxiety said: happyhappy said: wait, even tho its not attractive, is anyone aware of how comfy sandels/socks are?
i like putting a wet towel on my head sometimes, but you won't see me rockin that at the airport!   We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

There are more pics on Housequake. He is with his bodyguard and an airport person. It looks like he is staring at the person taking the picture. To GOD be the Glory! | |

look, i'm just saying that in the big picture, traditional japanese footwear may not mesh 100% with moonwraps and doo-rags, that's all.  | |

They are supposed to be worn like that, with those white socks. Now, I ´m not a 100% sure about the name, since "tabis" can also be those shoes that the Ninjas used to wear ( with that split thing between the toes) but Prince is definitely wearing them correctly and is not breaking the flip flop etiquette. That picture with the real flip flops and socks looks stupid though. And no , it is not fashionable to wear socks with flip flops, neither in Europe, nor anywhere else. Remember that line from 3121 "...take your pick from the Japanese robes and sandals..." They are Japanese "sandals", not flip flops. Like the stuff that Geishas wear. Ask Ian, he probably knows better than I do. Thank you. I too believe that they are the Japanese sandals.  "A united state of mind will never be divided

Anyway, Zsa, I like the look but you can't call someone ignorant for making real world associations. If you have to explain it every time, perhaps there's something you're missing. Maybe he should put labels on things, 'til people catch on. Why do you like playing around with my narrow scope of reality? - Stupify | |

Barefoot of course. There's a difference. I think the pic being referred to above is exactly the same- WITH socks. He's in the back of a limo looking out the window. I don't have the book but saw that pic recently in one of the picture threads. It's probably in the gallery somewhere. I'd have to agree he is probably wearing those Japanese thingys- and probably has no clue anyone would think otherwise-esp. since this pic was taken outside the USA. He's in "Prince world", remember? Ask where they're going, they'll tell U – "Nowhere"
