so, starting at 34:00 into this video:



what is that?

is that a character? does he/she/it have a name? i mean, even for prince's standards
that's a pretty bizarre get up, no?

don't get me wrong, i love it only prince could pull this off though. can you imagine
any other big star from his era in something like this?

I've always loved the outfit in this clip! The mask is great kinda spooky.

No, this corny shit is:

as corny as this is, i think the other one, with the phantom of the opera mask
and the 'gills for sleeves' suit is still more weird this looks positively pedestrian
in comparison

. That one always makes me laugh. Its like his hairdresser was halfway through something and he decided it was an interesting look.

It was inspired by Bjork, I think. In that time period he mentioned her several times in interviews, and she had a similar hairdo.

Ha, yes I always think of this Bjork look when I see Prince with his rave-esque multiple pick tails.

I think he looks so damn corny, but I kinda like this look on him. I feel he is just having fun.

Maybe I don't mind it as much cuz I love Bjork and have such an affinity for her and this look back then. Oh this song, Big time Sensuality! Love it. And PS - I saw Bjork play in Prince's L.A. Glam Slam club and she was so, so good! Prince was there watching her perform, he was probably trippin on all of us freakies in the club - good times...good show!

I forgot about that phantom of the opera outfit. Damn that was embarrassing. Reminds me that the true genius of Prince is that you have to take huge risks to get huge rewards. So among his greatest achievements, there are also some dismal failures. It's just the cost of genius. Purple & Gold, this outfit, Cybersingle...

I remember watching this on TV in December 1992 haven't seen it since then!
