I was at Borders today and was browsing through books. This one called "Pretty" by Nylon magazine had a list of famous fashion symbols from the 20's-90's. Well, guess who was in the 80's? Well, they gave you the make-up you need to look like him!

NARS LIP GLOSS IN "ORGASM" AND "SCANDAL"
"Orgasm and "Scandal" are two of his favorite words.

RIMMEL LYCRA LASH EXTENDER
Prince is very familiar with lycra products

HARD CANDY GLITTER EYE PENCIL IN GALAXY
Rock boys sporting smudged black eyeliner are old hat, but Prince is careful to wear his kohl with a style thats more Cleopatra than Korn.

This is the reason I spent 25$ on the book.

interesting. i wonder how he feels about people trying to look like him, maybe he's protective of his individuality.

Orgasm and scandal are my two favorite words too.

I gotta find that book.

if he finds out you're a dude putting on eye makeup to look more like him, watch out - before you know it, web sheriff will come chasing you with a jar of cold cream!

There's a lip-gloss nowadays called "Orgasm"?

he might sue you :p watch out

i would have thought it fairly obvious that we're all individuals, but now the idea of trying to be like him has lit the corners of my dusty weary mind i might just try it cuz even the sound of the word 'sue' turns me on.

Could you just imagine how it would have been had Prince been on this current ego trip back in the '80's? There'd have been Prince look-a-likes lined up like gang squad raids!

Yes. For full effect, squirt it on your lips without giving yourself any warning first.
