Question, what is on his shirt here?

I mean really, turtles? oysters? rocks? moons? Seriously it bothers me.

Lucah, you are killin' it here with these great pics!! I can't pic a fave, thanks for all of them. And your list was spot-on.

Hi Everyone Listening to Prince as I work, trying to stay in a zone. Well Purple Rain just came on and yeah I'm tearing up over here and immediately thought of you all. I hope everyone is going well

Almost forgot to tell y'all. I went to the Panto (Silly Christmas Play over here in the UK). This year it was Cinderella and every time the Prince came onstage they played the opening bars of 1999 AND THEN there was a whole medley starting with My Name Is Prince and going through several songs when they got to the Ball. The Prince wore a completely not mentioned or referenced Raspberry Beret instead of a crown.

I cried, at the Panto, then just smiled like a crazy person.

My friend said, 'I liked him and all, but he was just not always my cup of tea.' I broke out my phone, showed her Prince decorating my lockscreen and said 'He was not just my cup of tea, he was my whole teapot.'

Great story, thanks for sharing! I love the raspberry beret, lol.

That time Wendy was all of us, hopelessly lost in the love Prince was pouring out.

Aww thank you, I always felt watching them play that song, with matching guitars even, just felt like coming home. Such love there in both of them.

TOTAL ROCK STAR !

Aww sweetie I'm sorry love. Things just creep up on us sometimes.

Maybe this will make you smile? (Remember when he started randomly eating a baguette?)

Love y'all, gotta go, Prince is waiting and he's got that look in his eyes.

While looking thru my photobucket for pics to share on the guitar face thread, I came across this classic Parade gem:

This has finally made me cry. For two days now I had Sweet Baby playing in my head and felt all teary and now this one really made me. I still can't look at him in all those pics of the last years. I always want to remember him back in the 90s when I first looked into those big eyes. But he's always around, I still get so much out of those moments. It's grateful tears.

Aww, thank u Lucah That is so sweet.

Lucah said:

Ok wow, I forgot that individual pressies would be hard to do (hopefully y'all have all loved them; you know how we all share here in the Oasis of Joy).

But special hugs and love to everyone really, sorry if I missed you but Cat, Frag, SBartist, WavesofBliss, Mumio, Momma, ACharmed1, Shiloh, Candace, MorningSong, Lovejunky, Santos and everyone in the Purple Family out there watching.

Know one thing today. You Are Not Alone. You Are Loved.

Thank you Lucah for remembering me! Yes, our man did keep himself in shape but I would'a loved him regardless of size or shape - true inner beauty!
