Dumbest Prince Merchandise

I'm all for Prince giving his albums away for 'free' in the future, but I am worried that it may mean an end to the pointless, dumbass merchandise that comes along with the music. I mean, how can anybody even consider listening to a new Prince album without lighing a red symbol candle and splashing some NPG Myrrh insence about?

No, I don't really do that. But I do admit to owning both said items and many more besides. So here we go... Let's admit the dumbest merchandise purchases we've bought over the years.

And please no lotusflow3r.com tshirt replies, as it's a bit old-hat now and let's face it, most people never got one anyway.

Come on, who bought that fucking hat box thing a few years ago?

Who bought some of the 'ice' from the old NPGMC store?

Who on earth bought the bottom cardboard layer of Prince's wedding cake from the Camden NPG store?

Confess thy merchandise sins, you'll feel much better smile

None of the merchandise that I have purchased in the past has been dumb.

I haven't bought very much.

I love the "Prince in Hawaii," book...I love the cylandrox it came in.cool

I still have the unburned "Play in the Sunshine," incense.

I bought a candle that had a little silver symbol in the bottom when the candle melted.

I tried to buy the "Minneapolis Police Dept." T-Shirt, yet that was either discontinued, or Prince closed the "Glam Slam," store. I used to get the catalog...I couldn't really afford anything. I saw a lot of things I wanted.

My girlfriend has a bathrobe...

I have a "Glam Slam," T-shirt and a "Love GOD," guitar pick...Those two things were both given to me by a Tony Tony Tony...roadie. Or a "Night Ranger," roadie...I can't remember which band.

Did I win ZaZa? razz

Probably candles, and all the usual tour stuff, but that is not really dumb (apart from being dumb enough to pay the high prices). I almost bought a chair from the NPG shop cafe in London after it closed down.

Luckily my girlfriend at the time talked me out of it.

I still have a couple of those Xenophobia and a couple NPG bottles with the water still in them. I think the NPG bottles were from the 2000 Celebration. And yes, it was hotter than hell and the water was expensive. Were you there the night Prince brought everyone to see Minority Report because the Paisley Park AC was still busted? They also cut the price of water in half after a day or two of sweating our collective balls off.

Not really dumb, but odd...

I have a life-sized cardboard stand-up of Prince in a white coat holding his Symbol guitar. I worked on an ad for Prince and Paisley Park sent it over to my office for inspiration/reference. Everyone in the office thought it was so much fun to dress it up with feather boas and women's earrings. rolleyes lol

By the way, anyone in the Minneapolis area who wants a free Prince stand-up with holes in the ear, orgnote me and I'll deliver it. It's too bulky to mail.

It looks like this, but is die-cut around the Earth, body and guitar:

I almost talked the local Sam Goody into giving me one of those at the time. But wouldn't you know, the manager was a fan. Yeah, I bet rolleyes Bastard also got the Rave light box cover off the wall that I'd asked for neutral

Its got some way to go yet, the oldest cake in existence according to "Life after people" is a fruitcake baked in 1878, which is still palatable. Fruitcakes with brandy or wine in them can survive indefinetly apparently.

So what are u going 2 do? R u just gonna sit there and watch? I'm not gonna stop until the war is over. Its gonna take a long time
