[b]how come he wears heels now, i heard they aren't too good for his hips,besides everyone knows he's elfin beau so why not wear some other shoes?

Are u serious? I'm sure that after 51yrs he's aware that he is short so leave the man alone. Besides, the shoes are sexy ya Prince

Bring on the sexy Prince

thats not the point im making,i heard they were doing his hips in

He looks nice in whatever he chooses for his footsies

nurseV said:

yes i do love the japanese sandals i want some!

Zinzi said:

I'm pretty sure he can manage his own health and those rumors have never been substantiated.

nurseV said:

yeah well all im saying is if he does wear them because of being ashamed of being petit then im just saying he shouldnt because hes beautiful anyway, im about the same size so i prefer a man who isnt walking around with his lanky legs and sweating all over me lol

I see Back to the sexy



Wedges still look good on Prince.

Does he still wear heels? I thought he was exclusively rocking flat platforms now.

But for the life of me I can't figure out why some boot company didn't snap Prince up as a spokesman years ago The man can rock a heel

nurseV said:

johnart said:

Whatever

I wanna own those shoes for my collection-they are too cute

nurseV said:

Those are very cute.

The only 2 shoes I've had major issue with are the Frankenflops and the Naughty Librarian Lady Shoes he wore on Tavis. I know it sounds strange because people associate HELL with women's shoes, but I think his shoes have generally always been androgynous (even with the heel). The Tavis ones were straight up L-A-D-Y.

johnart said:

Oh, I'm sorry, make that 3...the hideous wedgy sneakers or whatever that mess he was wearing when he went to the game with Bria.

Not to nitpick, but when Prince says "These shows are a lot looser.", is that correct grammar?

Or would it be "more loose"?

I honestly don't know for sure, so I'm asking a serious question here.

He was when I saw him October. He also wore heels in March on The Tonight Show.

I think he might have lowered them a little, but yeah, he still wears them.

I envied his heels

I agree with the comment here that Prince's heels have never looked girly-they just seem to be a natural extension of him. I think thats why he still wears them-it would be like losing a limb

Zinzi said:

you mean why he wears high heels again? because he wants to? makes him feel more confident perhaps? I'm not a physician or so. Can you strength all you needed muscles again after a hip injury? Would that be wise? What's the other option, that small three weel chart? I think he looks good on those flat shoes.
[b]What was his joke on Eric Clapton and his flat shoes, back in '94 or '95, in the Wembley show? I really have to look that up.

Here's another shot:


(source: it's a detailed picture from the 1987 Hitkrant, an article on How much is Prince Spoiled?. It says ´For each of his more than 25 outfits, Prince brought a different pair of high heels´) I will add the full article and translation in a minute.

Personally one of my favorites, bad ass look in polkadots:

I know there's an Andre Cymone thread today, but have we somehow been transported back to 1978 or so.
