Yess! When I was 14 (2years ago) I dressed up like prince for Halloween. I got the wig, the blouse with the ruffles, I sewed some big buttons on the sides of some black skinny jeans, I got black booties, I had the long purple coat( sewed a patch of studs on the shoulder) and I had some circular glasses like the ones from purple rain. I went out trick or treating and I ended up going to dr finks house..I didnt recognize him but he saw that I was prince and invited me into his house and showed me his Grammys. Id say i had a pretty good experience dressing up as prince, and I still have all the clothes. Don't need no reefer, don't need cocaine
Purple music does the same 2 my brain And I'm high, so high | |

I can relate to this. Actually, I was a tomboy... Til I found Vanity 6. Dang, I wanted to look like Vanity. Of course, I don't walk around with lingerie or camisoles like Susan, but I use blouses with lace details and fishnets sometimes, Or girly dresses with gloves, heels and stuff.
And As for Prince, No, Ive never tried to dress like him... But sometimes I try to do my makeup Like he used to do During the Parade era :B | |

I did have a black long sleeve shirt with white polka dots, but they were popular at the time. At The Gap. I must say that Prince pushing the dots helped with the decision, but it was around 1989-90. My art book: http://www.lulu.com/spotl...ecomicskid

I used to have a really floppy hoodie I thought looked Graffiti Bridge-ish. Other than that, not much a suburban white boy in the early 90s could do without gettin' his ass kicked. It was bad enough I had the Prince longbox and Symbol hangin' in my locker.

well, i do have some Prince inspired stuff. I have the lace gloves, but i have those almost 8 years, and this is way before i became Prince fan, because actually i was inspired by Madonna to wear those. I do have a jacket that is bit purple rain inspired, at least that's what people tell me all the time... i did have bit like the haircut aka Purple Rain for some time, but you know i have had so many haircuts.

This is a photo of me lypsynching to Kiss back in 1994. I was 17 years old and a Form 7 at High School (Senior year). We had a school talent competition, and my performance I got second.

I was wearing a white shirt, with a ruff sewn on by my mother, purple track pants, about half a litre of Wella hair gel in my hair and I had a guitar made out of cardboard coloured purple with love symbols all over it.
It had people in hysterics and I had dancing girls and a dude playing a real guitar with a blonde wig (Very poor wendy rip off, he could play the axe though).
I remember humping the floor and screaming and all the rest.
I won $25 which I promptly spent on a copy of "Come" Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name | |

yeah to some extent. not really how but in the over all style. it is hard to explain. But he always had a cohesiveness. But I did buy some shirts that were collarless or had some pattern and one silk poka dot shirt.
But more than that I tried to move... or rather walk like prince (on a side note my eyes are making it all but imposable for me to see atm). I tried to move very fluid. As if there was no difference between walking or standing still.
**i had some kind of ocular migraine, I was seeing lights and colors.

I remembered back in the day, we did this talent show at the college I went to, and I did Sheila E. I wore my hair like hers with the lace headband tied to the side, and a lace black catsuit, high heels, and black fingerless lace gloves. When I tell you the crowd went mad wild, they went wild
Such memories | |
