I mean, what the fuck? As much as the girls fantasise over "lil' man", surely his moonwraps don't have much to do with that? So what exactly do they do for him? Could there possibly be any hidden meanings, or are they just pretty lil' thangs? I must admit, I preferred his hoops during Lovesexy.

I think it's a love for adornment run amuck. I hate those things, they're fucking gaudy...

I remember at one of the ONA concerts, my friend and I were taking the piss out of some guy wearing them - imagine our horror when we went in and Prince was wearing them too!!

anti-earwrap bumpies!

i honestly dunno why he digs 'em...his ears look a lot betta, sans the earwrap-thingies.



moonwrappage!

Does anyone else famous wear them? That might be a reason...it's different.



I don't like them either. His hoop earrings are cool though.

I like them...

I always wondered this myself.
The crescent moon and star pre-dates Islam by several thousand years. It is believed that Central Asia and Siberia used this symbol in their worship of the sun, moon, and sky gods. So, maybe he likes it for the mystical part of it, he certainly sings about the sun, moon and the stars.


History also shows that the crescent moon and star represents the Carthaginian goddess Tanit or maybe the Creek goddess Diana. It also dates back to a battle when the Romans defeated the Goths on the 1st day of a lunar month. The crescent moon was the city's flag, before the birth of Christ.

Later the Crescent moon and star became affiliated with the Muslim world. The Turks conquered Istanbul in 1453. The founder of the Ottoman Empire, Osman, had a dream that the crescent moon stretched from one end of the earth to the other. Some believe that the five pillars of Islam are represented on the star. The five points are NOT standard on flags used in the Muslim world today, or even on the Ottoman flags then. Many Muslims reject using the crescent moon as a symbol of Islam based on this history. There really is no symbol historically for the faith of Islam, some feel it's a pagan icon.

good ?

Prince is so egotistical that he not only created his own perfume-cologne but his own form of jewelry.

So you now were gold plated Prince ear wrap jewelry..thats what you are saying? Thats just one degree short of lace ass out pants but hey--to each his own. Do you feel like the Tin Man in The Wiz when you wear them. Im jus' sayin'?

The moonwraps I could deal with. It was the shaved hair around the ears Spock style that was bammafied.

There aint a damn thing wrong with Prince boots from any era.
