Prince smells "like purple"

Time to don your raspberry beret for the celebration of Purple Rain’s- one of the best movies that rocks of our time (well my time anyway) 25th anniversary.

I’ll never forget a violet satin clad Prince mounting his- twice his size- motorcycle (perhaps a Vespa would’ve been more suiting) flaunting his overweening masculinity in all five feet three inches he boasts. He somehow makes ruffles and Jerry curls sexy.

Check out the spread in the July issue of Spin magazine (Which incidentally has a kickass digital viewer for the issue.) It’s choked full of classic photos (including a shirtless number) and behind the scenes dish. Enjoy and report back on your fav Prince-isms. There’s quite a few in the article. My fav- although it didn’t come from the man himself- is “Prince was shy. And he smelled real good. Like purple.” Thank you Apollonia Kotero. I’ll be using that one for months LOL.

BC Out!
