So, Oldfriendsforsale, am I right in thinking this is an Avedon shoot? As well as this one?

Yes, I believe he did a few of those Gold era Versace photos too

hes . Every time I look at the pic you and Ladyzsazsa posted, "Lust U Always" pops into my head (not because of his looks). Just reminds me of it.

One of my favorite songs.

Gosh I miss this dude.

I can't find my favorite Prince picture.

It was posted this year, he didn't have any make-up on and he was singing.

The pic was taken during a rehearsal I think.

Somehow that picture really moved me.

It seems the pic has been re-moved from the org.

Anybody knows that picture?

I would say by the hair and the eye make up, its possible its from the late Controversy period rather than the 1999 period (Early 82 judging by the hair), but I could be wrong.

Its an awesome shot though, totally the sex mad Prince of the time and the pout.

it's the 1999 period, that's when he started wearing the buttons to that degree, the fitted suite coats

that purple thing around his neck

It's weird how I've learned how to identify the look with the album period

during his Controversy period, he still wore the briefs and legwarmers, lavender colored trench and a black trench, he wore more baggier clothes, tuxedo:shirts, pants, vests, coats, ties, and he only had the buttons on his pants from the bottom to the knee (the band had similar stuff) multicolored scarf, jeans, lace arm pieces

1999 he had the full bottoned pants on sides and crotch, tighter clothes, JJ wore his black trench, the ruffled part on the lower pants, ruffled shirts and tux shirts, shiney purple trench, cloth purple trench, etc

This pic Purplemajesty posted is very similar to the Purple Rain look, ie the Beautiful Ones (movie performance suite)

Controversy era pictures/looks

You always find the best rare pictures. Do you remember a picture from either "Right On", "Black Beat", or "Rock and Soul" magazine from the "Controversy era of Prince wearing an outfit that contained Christmas lights in it like it might have been inspired by "The Electric Horseman" that was out around that era?
