this pic was taken when i was in 7th grade (before cellphones). my buddy & i (girl #2) were invited to an all-girls sleepover party. i thought it’d be a great idea if all 7 girls worked their magic on us…so that we could blend in. after an hour or so… they “to wong foo’d” us. the night didn’t end there… being dressed in drag took the party to a whole new level - we played truth or dare & spin the bottle until 5/6 in the morning… to quote katy perry, “i kissed lots of girls and i liked it.” so… why am i sharing this with you?
because prince died today. you see… we were singing & dancing to prince that night. it was so much fun… it was so beautiful. every time i hear his music… i think back to this night. his music… and who he was… changed my life. he really helped me get out of my comfort zone early on in life… and for that… i’ve been rewarded handsomely. there a lot of things we don’t do b/c we’re scared people might judge us… the fear of rejection… is what kills beautiful memories/experiences. if it weren’t for prince… this pic… and so many other amazing moments would not have existed. who knows… i’d probably be a closed-minded jerk. this is for you… thank you prince. i love you ~rob
p.s. to honor him, here are some quotes i found on the web: “Prince is the father of so many styles. A true creative genius. A musical mastermind. One of the greatest performers of all time.” - Blake Anderson
“Prince would FUNK the shit out of you, body your favorite guitarist, dress like a chick with his buttcheeks OUT, and steal your girl.” - Blake Anderson
