Rave era Prince's most visually intimidating? (I'm gonna regret posting this)
I don't believe these were his intentions, but he's got this intimidating vibe about him during his Rave era photoshoots. Like some kind of darkness embodies him, like his next album's gonna be 666 or Thriller or something. Lol thoughts?

We are the flowers growin' in God's garden
And that is why he spreads the shit around |

why around early 90s? in rave the heat got too hot-- he was looking a little too crispy. The pigtails and jumpsuit were just the frosting over that. We are the flowers growin' in God's garden

Never liked his 19990-1993 styles.
Still don't.

Meh. His look was like Batman era 2.0. It was no more "intimidating" than that era. "New Power slide...." |

Ever looked at batman? The album? The movie? Etc?
It has a dark'theme'.
And thus 'intimidating'? Only if you think the dark is intimidating and carry a flashlight with spare batteries at all times.

I always found this era to be visually stunning . . . not sure if I would use the word "intimidating" though.
Aside from the blue pleather suit/braids (which I always thought also looked badass), there was an almost biblical look to him during Rave. Long hair, beard, flowing outfits and majestic poses.
This maybe was his last unique "look/era", as he shifted to suits shortly after.

P.S. I always thought the 1999 era was his most intimidating. Some of the photography/makeup/etc. had a possessed (no pun intended) look to them. |
