OMG, you guys, I wonder if Prince ever read my tweets to him. I always used to tweet him to come to Texas to play cause he barely ever came here from what I know and I was pretty annoying about it (I tweeted him like almost every day for a month) which is why I never got a response back from him but I wonder if he read it or took it into consideration at least

I'm barely starting to feel his death btw, so I'm starting to regret a lot of stuff and ponder about my non-existent interactions with him.

I became a fan at 12, three mnths b4 my 13th bday. Kiss was released, Little Girl Nina B. turned around one day & the vid was on the tv.... I didn't find out about the London Parade gigs till it was 2 late Mum got us tickets 4 the SOTT gig...it was cancelled! Lovesexy came 2 town, I was broke Sooo when Nude tour came I managed 2 go 2 seven gigs! (June-Aug) Peep thought I was nuts The last night, 24 Aug, I had a front row! Thanks 2 Eillen Murton/Controversy fan mag (Bless her cotton socks!) At the time I had P posters all over my walls. Everyone was excited 4 me, they all said "What if he sees U?!" I would cringe & say "Oh no, I don't want him 2 see me!" much 2 everyone's confusion. I thought ok it's a front row, but I'm sure it's gonna be at the edge, I can blend in. After yrs of privately studying him frm afar i wasn't ready 4 him 2 be looking back!

7 shows how cool is that. Did u look him in the eyes?

I had a friend who wasn't a hardcore collector, but had maybe 5 of his lp's. She really liked him & managed 2 go to a few of the wembley gigs. She couldn't get tickets 4 the last show so came with me & waited outside. We met up b4 the gig, she had bought a massive Chinese orchids bouquet & wanted me 2 throw them 2 him!!! What could I say?! They weren't cheap either. Oh dear no blending in 4 me now...

Aww...how sweet...Im glad she chose u to do it...n yeah the cat is out the bag

NinaB said:

There's a Chinese girl next 2 me on my left, next to her is a guy, he's staring at me 2. He gets a dirty look frm me, my backs up at this point. Then he says my name! Turns out he's only a pen pal/collector of mine frm Controversy mag who'd Sent me tons of boot cassettes thru the mail! We hug, crushing the girl between us (Steve Cleary if you're out there ) [Edited 5/3/16 6:26am]

Girl I thought he was a stalker type

NinaB said:

He usually starts with The Future frm up on the riser. This night he starts with Partyman. He came straight 2 the mic, no exaggeration I was this close 2 running away! I had images of myself running back down that aisle & getting the hell out of there. Btw i was only 17, completely overwhelmed. He's got shades on, I swear he's starring straight at me! I tell myself no he's not. Meanwhile I'm literally clutching on2 myself repeating "Fuck!" & "Shit!" He takes off the shades...he IS staring straight at me!!! 😨

17 was right for him

I feel your pain...alot of us Texas orgers tried to get him to come here and he wouldnt I dont think he liked the heat or something....I wasnt gonna hurt him

NinaB said:

My face must of been a picture! Horrified wouldn't be an exaggeration. All of this clutching at oneself, repeatedly chanting profanity & looking terrified, caused him 2 stare at me all bloody night! & my god an that man stare! He keeps throwing me plectrums & flowers, I can't catch 4 Shit! You'd never think I played basketball with the boys at school. At one point he puts his hands up as if 2 say "Well I have thrown up nuff stuff, it's not my fault you're a clutz!" He makes faces at me 2, horrified faces, making fun of mine. Then I realise wembley is craning their necks 2 see who he keeps interacting with....cue images of running away back down that aisle again!

This is really sweet though....Girl he threw it but u didnt catch it U couldve been the next Mrs. Nelson

Girllll! My goodness this is taking longer than I thought, nearly there tho

U did good on the cell it was worth the wait

NinaB said:

The show continues...numerous times I say 2 Steve "Shall I throw the bouquet now?" He says "YES!!!" I can't do it! It gets towards the end of the show, I know when he finishes this track he runs off & then comes back 4 fast paced action packed choreographed encores. It's now or never...as I lean over 2 pick it up I glance up & he's watching again! Arms go 2 jelly once again, I throw, completely off center, 2 his left. He jumps & grabs it right in the middle! Runs up the stairs & holds it up in front of the bat symbol! All previous nights he held the gun mic in frnt of the symbol. He runs off & later returns 4 the encore. I look down, I realise there's holes in the partition, with all the lights etc he'd seen it, as soon as I bent 2 get it he stopped & watched.

Book worthy and just too sweet I love it

Aww! That's so sweet! I think Prince picked up on how nervous you were being so close up on the stage and was trying to help you relax but lmao at him picking at you all night. Nude Tour! *Sigh* You are so incredibly lucky. My thirst for the GB era knows no bounds.

Haha you weren't but I would've weirded him out for sure

Maybe it's because he felt he didn't have a lot of fans here? Lol don't scalp me for that but I have never felt any Prince love here. I mean maybe up north state they might like him better but I live waaay deep south in Texas and none of the emo, goth, or outcast kids has ever mentioned liking his music. They always mention Nirvana, Slipknot, Blink 182, Guns N Roses, The Beatles, and even MJ but no one ever mentioned P. When Bowie died there were some people who paid respects to him but with Prince, nothing

NinaB said:

One last thing... I'd read/heard 4 yrs that he didn't wear underwear... at one point he's dancing, he's wearing that white with green circles baggy trouser & top outfit...I slowly trail my eyes from his feet up...yup! No underwear! I study 4 a moment then I continue upwards till I reach his face....he's looking straight at me! (I die of embarrassment, 17 remember!) His expression was "Have a goood look did ya!!!

Lmao omg thank you so much for sharing this story <3

I'm 17 right now! I can just imagine being in your place, I would've had a panic attack if this happened

But damn, they better send me to the electric chair cause if I saw Prince with no underwear I'd be guilty for what goes on in my mind and for my future crimes
