Prince and W&L

When Wendy joined the Revolution the relationship she shared with Lisa was unknown for years.As we know Prince soon started a serious relationship with her sister Susannah.Did the fact that they were romantically involved help strengthen the collaborations they started with Prince?

I was a teenager at the time. Wendy and Lisa's relationship wasn't confirmed for awhile, but there was definately a vibe going on and rumors too. I think Prince had a closer relationship with them for a time. It had to be different, he was sleeping with her sister. As we've seen after his passing, there were a lot of them and he made the all feel special.

I think her reaction to Prince kissing her on the cheek was an indication she wasnt into guys. Or at least Prince:)

Characters that were basically the same people off camera.They all were talented musicians but inexperienced actors. Probably something prince threw in at the last minute.maybe a inside joke.Purple rain was not Gone with the wind it was a loose script simply based around the music

In reality yes they were close. Watching as a fan back then simply saying that where some band members start romantic relationships while playing together.With his relationship with Susannah behind the scenes and his status as a sex symbol. To us fans paying attention it could have been an answer about the new girl and her platonic relationship with prince.

That look of “eekiness” looked genuine to me. Wouldn’t you be freaked out if someone left spit on your cheek you couldn’t wipe off immediately? lol

Both Lisa and Wendy have slept with Prince, per their own admission (but not in the public record).

Their own admission? When and where? I've only heard of Lisa having something very very brief well before Wendy and Susannah were around.

There was a Live Chat with Lisa, Susannah, and Wendy (advertised on this site) circa 2008 or 2009 during which this was mentioned. I may be very off regarding the date, so I would expand the dateline between 2007 and 2011. Perhaps someone here might assist in researching?

Well, it may have been entirely in jest, but that was not my interpretation of it at the time. W&L indicated during a Live Chat (sponsered on this Website), that they had both slept with Prince on more than one occasion (in a 'roll in the hay' kind of way). This isn't meant to suggest that they are not chiefly lesbian in their orientation, however.

It was actually during a Live Chat session promoted on this Website, sometime in the past 5-to-9 years. I am actively trying to locate the reference. I don't see why such a possible revelation, if it wasn't merely a joke, would be incompatible with an 'Uptown' way of life. Is it inconceivable someone as promiscuous as Prince could have had a few one-offs of this sort? Would W&L's sexual expression and identity, in their late teens and early twenties, and in the conservative environment of first half of the 1980s, have been so rigidly decided?

That face was supposed to be her overcome with emotion, not her disgusted by Prince!

It's more than likely the product of nearly non-existent acting skills, and trying to reproduce the same emotional response after many inadequate takes.

I think it was meant to show that Wendy was touched by Prince finally performing her and Lisa's song. Like Prince says 'and the academy award goes to...'

W&L relationship "unknown for years"?

The "Computer Blue" intro made it pretty clear.
Like leaving a closet wide open.
Pursuing a career as a duet was like a confirmation.
I wasn't suprised at all when it went public.

We probably owe a fair deal of Prince's creative spree during the mid-eighties
to the state of mind this odd situation put him into.
He was suspended in a state of grace for a while.
But I'm still puzzled about it, I wonder if Wendy and Susannah sporting
different haircuts and outfits is a hint that the girls themselves
started to find this situation... bizarre.

I don't have any experience with identical twins, but I suppose
that most of the time, the other sister/brother is someone you see occasionally
at family gatherings.

Working with one, then going to bed (and working some more) with the other, on a daily basis,
how many years can it last before blurry lines become a deep mist?

I read that Susannah was great in Prince's eyes because here was a heterosexual version of Wendy whom he shared a love of the guitar with.
And regarding W&L, I think we have all read that back then at least, Prince liked watching two girls and sometimes joining in.
Remember it was the 80s too. People were doing whatever.
