Funny article:

The 75th Anniversary Gala for the Apollo Theater in New York brought together Mariah Carey, Jamie Foxx, Steve Harvey, Fantasia Barrino, Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones and — perhaps most notably — Prince, who appeared on stage to help induct a handful of legendary divas into the Apollo Legends Hall of Fame. Minneapolis’ favorite son has kept his wardrobe relatively tame over the last few years, but last night he appeared in an outfit so yellow he would have been mistaken for Big Bird if he wasn’t so diminutive. There’s even more than meets the eye in this particular ensemble, so let’s take a look at the various components:

» The Shirt: What goes better with gold? Even more gold. The sleeves and buttons are trimmed with a shiny-looking gold lamé, which give the garment an even more blinding finish. Normally famous folk wear loose-fitting clothes to mask weight gain, but Prince probably does it to hide that fact that he’s even tinier than we think.

» The Glasses: Bono brought those fly-eye shades to the masses, but Prince made them amazing. Most people look aloof when they wear sunglasses indoors, but Prince manages to sidestep that. No matter what’s going on below his neck, Prince always has a cool head.

» The Necklace: Did Prince throw a luxury baby mobile around his neck? Does he always wear jewelry he stole from an art museum’s early Mesopotamian wing? Is that actually a breast plate to protect him when he goes jousting? The mind reels.

» The Walking Stick: Prince doesn’t have any trouble walking, and it’s somewhat hard to believe that he’d be carrying around a pimp stick (though perhaps he’s into some business at Paisley Park that we don’t know about). Upon closer examination, it turns out that the stick is awfully sparkly (perhaps Bedazzled?), which obviously means Prince is a wizard. (Actually, can you imagine anything more awsome than the Purple One appearing in the next “Harry Potter” movie?)

» The Pants: Okay, so maybe he’s not a wizard. But with those pants, he must have been mistaken for a genie, right?

» The Shoes: And the outfit finishes off seamlessly with high-heeled pumps that look like a cross between magic slippers and the sort of thing Brüno might be wearing during his press tour. All told, it seems like Prince should have magic powers (or at least be protecting a pot of gold), but even if he doesn’t, that doesn’t take away the majesty of “Let’s Go Crazy.”

Oh damn, u beat me to it! I have the page open ready to copy and paste
I love how they break down his outfit.

Prince could've rocked a effin banana costume and the man would make it look good.

Fuck MTV, and all who sail on her.

They shouldn't even comment on all these people they choose not to support on a daily basis. Wankers.

come on folx....that was funny!

I liked his outfit, it's Prince!

The "gold lame" on his shirt looks to actually be paisley trim.



/nitpick

I like the look! Matches my Ipod.

Klick

I thought the trim was metallic, too. I stand corrected (and relieved).

The pic looks almost circa 1992.

Yellow makes him bigger than he really is... optical illusion anyone?

Breast Plate? I think it is more like a bullet proof shield.. He was in Harlem? OK that was lame..

hilarious. i dont think prince will be offended, he seems to have a good sense of humor

that necklace is tacky

I screamed when I saw that pic of Princey...

Man looks good.

Sexy thy name is Prince!

I have no complaints at all! I just wish he'd taken those damn glasses off so that we could see his lovely eyes even more. <--That's him.

I love that necklace. I love that style. I believe he wore that in the desert....if I'm not mistaken.

It rocks. Loose clothes, big chunky eclectic - exotic gold necklace. That'll work.

He looks good.

I heard that Marrk. I guess they call themselves trying to be cute. Not funny. It was obnoxious writing...and uncalled for.

Wait...wait...wait...
are ppl interpretin this as a diss?
It doesn't matter wat MTV has/had against Prince, this piece made me giggle abit and don't come off as disrespectful at all.

I'd like to see how they would have acted had he pranced out in some zebra print panties like back in the day.

They need to cut out all the jive-assery.

wildgoldenhoney said:

and you would rather hear news about The Family or Wendy & Lisa?

the outfit is sick! Perfect for the occasion. It's the kind of get up Prince looks great wearing. Mariah loved it. The crowd adored it. MTV pieces doesn't come off as a diss at all. The writer seemed quite envious.

I rather like this style of ourfit compared to the cross breasted suits which look to confining. I do wish he would eat betterso he can put on some weight. It appears as through he's wasting away. Prince, honey, he proved whatever point you have been trying to make, please fire your cooking staff.

InsatiableCream said:

True. But it saves him having to dye his chest hair.

I disagree with MTV.
I really liked Prince's outfit. DREEEamy!
