Lmao, yeah someone sure is in their feelings.....

They sure are today. All kinds of emotions. So many emotions. All the emotions. Maybe it's the excitement of a new Prince album that's got them feeling emboldened.

oh dear...he/she called me "vacuous, shallow and bereft"..so soon after begging moderators to intervene on Astasheik's OP about DNA Samples... the unbridled irony is quite impressive

I mean, he created The Time. Doesn't Morris Day write about how much Prince was inspired took from and was inspired by gay hairdressers in his neighborhood?

Quite clearly consciously camp but again, it wasn’t natural - just another deflection tool to shield his awkwardness. Of course, he also made some of the campest music human ears will ever encounter - and I don’t mean that negatively at all. It was simply a minor part of his personality that he could tap into at will for creative purposes. Painting people in broad strokes like ‘camp’ is ridiculous compartmentalisation and simplification for simple minds struggling to comprehend something they don’t quite understand - Prince could also quite confidently adopt the persona of macho alpha male. He was an artist in more ways than one and a trailblazer beyond his music.

I say yes... at times. 'Have you had your plus sign today?' A little camp now and again puts some pink in the cheeks.

All due respect, but even on his most macho days he was campy. Camp isn't a gender biased concept, first of all. Second of all, I have no idea what your idea of machismo is, but I guarantee it ain't pounds of makeup and high heels.

Everything Prince did was campy. He had a campy aesthetic and was inspired by deliriously campy men from James Brown to Clinton to Little Richard.

Outside of the clothes, Prince took tons of inspiration from a camp pioneer - Charlie Chaplin. From the peekaboo eyes to his other physical comedy (seen in heavy doses in all 3 of his movies - especially UTCM), Prince didn't do anything in his entire career that didn't have a hefty amount of camp to it.

Yes true, and no doubt you recall that Miles noted the Chaplin connection. And Charlie was a master in his own right. But you're right... Sexy MF is sheer camp... so perhaps now and again is more like a lot, lol.
