Is it me or was the 1993+96 look the coolest?

C'mon, that Gold era looks awesome, just because of how different the look was. Or maybe I like the way weird things look. Picture thread time? Picture thread time.

Definitely one of his worst looks. I don't understand the pale look either. But I liked the way he looked on Letterman during that time. His overall best look was SOTT era imo.

He was very pale and unhealthy skinny at times.

At the gigs he often had a very vacant cold look in his eyes.

In my memory therefore I don't like this 'look' at a whole.

I also remember someone saying. 'He acts like a dick but in his defence he looks like one with this hairdo'.

And when you played N64 for a while other comparisons pop up which doesn't help either.

(in retrospect the old B-side horny toad falls in place)

Ill post more if I feel the love! But others also have to controbute too.

And on the unhealthy thing, well if he was doing that, doubt it just started then and probably been around for a while. Everyone has their bad days, but its not like they were all unhealthy times.

At first I thought it was not too good because it made him look not so Prince-ish. But then I realized that its the creativity behind it, not the attractiveness of the look.

Thats what made it cool for me.

I've loved Prince's changes over the years...It's just been him inside of a new style.

I adore how Prince looks 2day. The recent pictures are adorably handsome. cool

I do prefer him being more out there or at least being a bit loose then the more rapped up conservative looks we've seen in the 2000's even though some suits ie Musicology half length coats are cool

I prefer still the Parade-SOTT-Lovesexy looks

Yeah I appreciate how crazy it was. It was like the more stranger the better. lol

I don't quite dig the conservatism of Prince's looks today lol

That's just me, I missed this period though.

As far as his look was concerned, he was madder than a box of frogs back then.

And remember this was when he started to tell folks that he "wasn't Prince anymore". lol The beginnings of "The Artist" and prince.

Yes, pure wacky but in a good way.

In a way only Prince or prince could have pulled off, even if it did make him look like a bit of a tit.

And how was he madder than usual?

1993-1996 probably spans about 3 or 4 different looks or styles by Prince.

The 1993 mushroom hair/fingerwave look was one of my least favorites, but I liked what came afterwards...

Lol - I hate that look, it's the only one I've never understood...hair like a mushroom and the moustache of the bastard offspring of Sherlock Holmes and a circus strongman. I actually thought he looked quite fat in the face during Gold (after this look) perhaps he was content

This was when Prince was...Prince. To a tee. No bones about it, it was like this is me, if you don't like it, fuck you.

Totally unique, hella cool, and could not be copied in any way, shape of form, and if you tried you looked extremely foolish.
