If this was already post before IDK but I don't remember this picture of Devin, so it is worth the post. 4 those that are not familiar with her, there are pictures of her in the Parade era with Prince's father John L. Nelson(RIP) and I think 1 with her. I always thought she was John's date, not Prince's

Maybe she's the

A former Playboy pinup says she had a secret romance with Prince in the mid-1980s that ended because she didn't want to be 'one of many girls.'

Devin Devasquez, 52, told People she was 'absolutely in love' with Prince whom she romanced on and off for six months in 1985.

She said she first met him after a member of his entourage showed the musician a photo of her and he invited her to come to his Chicago concert in December 1984.

Devasquez, who was featured on the cover of Playboy in 1985 and 1986, described the late star as 'small but such a sexy, charming guy.'

I saw this recently online. I think she's beautiful. And her IG has some pictures that resemble Vanity to me.

-

The man loved beautiful exotic looking women, no doubt about that.

-

She was a Playboy model as well.

-

I believe her story and those pics with his dad and with him don't lie. There was one with them holding hands.

-But he had a short attention span, or so it seems.

from a few old OrG threads people say Bedtime Stories was actually about Devin Devasquez

Agree on all points

That photo is of her from 1985 in the outfit Prince gave her

Here is the cover of her 1985 Playboy shoot

During the Purple Rain tour he would fly me to all of the concerts, all over the country,' she told the magazine.

'We used to go dancing with Sheila E. and his band, but he always told no one to talk to me. He liked me to be mysterious, and so I was.'

When he was on stage, she recalled, he was a high energy, sensual and outgoing entertainer.

In private, he was shy, she said.

At the hotel after that first concert, she said the two of them talked for hours and he invited her to Sheila E.'s birthday the next day.

But Devasquez said she had to be in LA for a meeting with Hugh Hefner and so had to leave.

'When I got to the [Playboy] Mansion, I had a note waiting for me saying Prince would like to call' she said.

They exchanged several lengthy calls and Prince flew her to Texas for his 1985 New Year's Day concert in Dallas.

Backstage, she watched him put on his make-up and then he gave her one of the Purple Rain tour outfits to wear.

The romance ended in the summer of 1985.

'He was respectful of me and our relationship. He also knew I was old-fashioned … and I wouldn't be one of many girls,' she told People.

I believe that is Jackie St. Clair

Saw her on CNN on the day Prince died. She was saying that all of these songs were written about her. Some of them were written about Susannah, I think. She lost all credibility after that.

Oh, I'm glad you posted these. I wondered who this one was. I knew it wasn't Devin but this one didn't seem to be around much?

he was putting his porn interests into full view

She sure looks like his type.

I remember reading somewhere that she to had a "romance" with Prince that lasted several years. Wasn't he like engaged to Susannah in 1985?

Where in the world did Prince get the energy for all these women? smh

Unless Prince told any of us exactly who each and every song was written for or about, we are not authorities to say that he specifically wrote certain things for certain people, or that he did not write something if someone claims he did. Some of us think we really knew the dude.

booty call and that is all. BTW, she is now married to Ronn Moss who used to play "Ridge" on Bold and the Beautiful and he's I guess now touring in his old 1970s band Player responsible for the song "Baby Come Back"

Devin was on Star Search as a spokesmodel, and Cat was also on Star Search as a dancer. Cat met Prince through her.

Interesting. Cat contributed a lot to Prince's Sign of the Times movie. She really brought the energy!

I can't exactly remember which songs that she mentioned, but they were ones that I'm pretty sure it is common knowledge that he wrote about Susannah.

I'm just saying that there is no reason to throw shade on the lady ( Devin DeVasquez ) being that our dearly departed was pretty shady in the woman department. He was a known womanizer and going out with several women while he had a steady girlfriend. Any song could be about any woman at any given time. The Most Beautiful Girl in the World is a perfect example. Very romantic to think it was for Mayte, but it might have been an older song written for Carmen Electra, like he insinuated to her, or Susannah Melvoin, Sheila E, Anna Fantastic, Ingrid Chavez, the girl from the club, the waitress at his favorite restaurant, or even the girl in high school that never gave him the time of day. There is a woman that has a letter from Prince when he was just starting out which sounds like a player playing. A pretty face and a banging body is enough to inspire a song and Susannah was one of many. Might have been a main squeeze at some point, but by no means an exception.

Another smoking hot Latina. Not surprised.

Jackie Sinclair used to date Simon Cowell.

Some of these women stick to their type too--------rich and powerful.

Except for, well, I won't even go there right now.

Prince was definetly all of that from the time he could put it into action.

That interview of him saying that Andre's mom used to come downstairs sometime and they all didn't have on many clothes, and that he could have girls home during high school

Possessed: the Rise & Fall of Prince

Chapter 1 HOME

p 10-11

Prince's friend and surrogate brother, Andre Anderson, was also musically inclined, and the 2 began to jam together regularly in his mother's basement.

Upstairs, Prince shared a bedroom with Anderson. Despite being good friends, they were poor roommates; Anderson's side of the room was cluttered and disorganized, while Prince's was as meticulously ordered as a Marine barrack. Although he no longer lived with his father, Nelson's disciplined approach to life remained a significant influence on Prince, who sought greater order and privacy by moving into the basement...

Downstairs, he had much easier access to his instruments; already, Prince had started blending the distinction between home and musical workplace. Moreover, the basement became something of a private universe - a small slice of the world where he was in total control. A dark space with little natural light, it was nonetheless where he felt most comfortable, and it provided a prototype for the cloistered recording studios where he would spend the majority of his waking hours over the next thirty-plus years.

...

The Anderson basement - Prince's bedroom and rehearsal space - also represented his first attempt to create an alternative community based around music and, perhaps, sex. Years later in interviews, Prince would recall it as a hedonistic wonderland where he and Anderson engaged in carnal acts with a variety of girlfriends.

...

"My impression is that there were a lot of girls in that basement," said Howard Bloom, Prince's press agent during the 1980s. "He had grown up in the 1960's and the message was make love, not war. In the basement, he was going for liberation and entitlement to any sort of sexuality, pleasure, and enjoyment."

P looked happy as hell in those pictures with Jackie. Looks like he's talking s%#t at the photographers too.

Did Prince ever go to the Playboy manison? Just wodnering.
