Prince's Stain Glassed Bedroom Door

MinneapolisFunk sent me these photos and he can explain the other photos but he mainly wanted you guys to see the Stained Glass art that Prince had on his bedroom door and he knew I had a photobucket account ...

I believe there are glimpses of the door in the Love 4 One Another special, as well as the Gett Off videos (mostly the remixes). It'd make for an interesting tattoo.

Can someone start a discussion about Prince's love symbol because some shocking details have emerged. The symbol's meaning may have something to do with the one and only Vanity. The V shape at the bottom is for Vanity. Someone Please post a picture of Prince and Mayte's wedding China which shows the love symbol with the letter M in the middle. I always thought something looked stranged about the wedding symbol back in 1996 until it was brought to my attention that if you look closely, you will see the letter V, under the M and I think M does not stand for Mayte but it stands for Music or Matthews. It's also being reported that Vanity and Prince were having relations in 1994. I personally think, they have been together all this time. Vanity stated in a interview that they were off and on. It's also may be coming out that love letters were found by Vanity's relatives from Prince to Vanity after she died. The love letters were way after 1983. Please post pictures of his different love symbols from the different eras because the symbol has evolved. A lot of you should stop putting down Vanity or ignoring her significance in Prince's life. There would be no Purple Rain if he never met Vanity or even Dirty Mind and 1999. If you are a long time Prince fan like me then you know what the Prince rules are and one of them is once he dismisses you from his life, he cuts the ties with you forever. He did not do this with Vanity. He had many women but it was this one that he could not let go.

No, just no. Not the whole Vanity thing again. Here is the link to the origins of the symbol by the designers of the symbol themselves:



https://www.wired.com/201...one-night/

An excerpt from the article:

One day Prince’s head producer approached Monson and Lizz Luce to say Prince needed a symbol. She didn’t say why—Monson and Luce assumed it would decorate an album cover—but said he wanted the icon to fuse the astrologically inspired Mars-male and Venus-female symbols, and he wanted it soon.

“We just took off right away,” Monson says. The two designers toiled away until morning, sketching ideas until Prince came in and quickly selected the design now inextricably linked with his identity. After that, Monson and Luce barely altered the drawing. “The one you see now was almost untouched. We did very little adjustment to that particular mark at all,” Monson says.

Look closely at the icon, because there’s a lot happening. Most obviously, it merges ancient symbols for man and woman, creating a new, sexual, gender fluid one. At the time, Prince hoped to launch the careers of two of his dancers: Tara Leigh Patrick, who went on to become Carmen Electra, and Mayte, who went on to become his wife. As a result of working with them, “he really wanted to see this feminine quality to [the symbol], and have this mix of male and female,” Monson says. “He saw those elements being important, and being integrated.”

Look again and you’ll notice the Love Symbol is a hair off balance. The scroll isn’t perfectly circular, and the right side of the cross bar is gently misshapen. Prince chose this imbalance deliberately. “I get grief for it all the time from people who are like, ‘Can’t you just clean up that logo,’ ” Monson says. “But it was supposed to be that way; he didn’t want it to be perfect.” Like a human body, it’s asymmetrical, imperfect. Lastly, the symbol also evokes a cross. It’s impossible to know the depths of Prince’s intentions, but the Love Symbol swiftly harmonizes ideas often in conflict—man vs. woman, sex vs. religion.

They're so full of crap. No way they freehanded the horn in "paint"! We discussed this to no end on PPML and AMP back when it happened.

Yes, new details about Prince and Vanity are coming soon. Vanity's has a similar situation to Prince but she left a will. Some of Vanity's sisters are fighting with Vanity's best friend and Christian co-pastor of their church because Vanity basically left everything to her and gave her sisters some percentage to movie rights based on Vanity's Life. Her sister Deborah and her husband Tobyn posted a YouTube video showing Vanity in her apartment and also at a storage facility going trough items. The video was released on April 21, 2016, the day Prince died and you guys should read what it's says in the description part of the video. Some of it says that Deborah was asked by Vanity a long time ago to be executor of her estate but Deborah turned it down but she says she wished she had not because in her words of the resulting chaos now and what's yet to come. No one thought Prince would die this soon at such a young age and the reason I'm telling you guys this is because her sister is trying to tell us that Vanity left instructions on what and when they should release the details about Vanity and Prince. It's more to their story than what we know but it's going to come out. Vanity's brother in law Tobyn found some important items when he was going through Vanity's items after she died and it's all about Prince. Vanity's family is fighting with Roxanne Harper regarding Vanity's will. I also read the day Vanity died on February 15, 2016 which is the same day Prince Mother died February 15, 2001, her family found out just like us, from the media. They did not get to see her dead body because she was cremated and the only people at the hospital with her was Roxanne Harper and her family. So Vanity's sister's never got to see her and they also do not know where her ashes are. This is important because some new bombshell information is going to be released about the life of Prince and Vanity. I believe they both kept some secrets. Vanity loved to write in journals a lot. Take another look at the Prince love symbol again. I really believe if Vanity was still alive, Prince would be with us right now. One of the titles of her book was Blame it on Vanity and I concur. I have more information.

Sure some of that has to be bollocks. He was using the basic symbol in 82/83. It first appeared on the sleeve of 1999. What I'm wondering is where he got the initial inspiration from or whether he borrowed it from somewhere? I'd love it if this stained glass predates 1999 and was the inspiration for the original symbol.

Agree the symbol was used in PR it appeared on his motorcycle. May have always had something to do with Vanity.
