The Purple Thread

by Gillybob Online Now Aug 30, 2007 at 3:21 AM

Its no good!!! I can contain myself no more. I have only 2 more sleeps before I head down to the sunny south and hit London for a night watching that performer of performers - Prince (TAFKAP, Symbol)! I have the outfit - purple trousers, purple top, black shoes and bag. I have the hair - mildly purple and purple ultraviolet temporary colour to put on I have the make-up - purple and silver I have the CDs for the journey down - poor Sita and Tricia who share the car with me I have the excitement - ONLY TWO MORE SLEEPS!!!!!! So, what is your favourite Prince song or shade of purple?

    I'm not that keen on Prince but I adore purple, have done since I was little. Real rich royal purple is the best, but any shade including the pale lilacs and lavenders will do. I have loads of purple clothes, a purple bedroom, lots of purple acessories in my house, purple flowers and loads of lavender in my garden, a purple car..... Lesley

    I quite like "When Doves Cry", and I looooove all shades of purple. Was just thinking of respraying my car a deep metallic purple shade. What do you think??

    I've tried putting on purple contact lenses before, but with my dusky skin colour I looked kinda weird :(

    I couldn't think of putting in contact lenses - its just that something about sticking something in your eye. I mean, a finger to get something out is OK but something that sucks itself onto your eyeball - nope!!!

    i went to see him on saturday, he was absolutely superb, although the concert was a little short with no support. i like most of his songs but when doves cry is one of my favourites, i was annoyed he didnt play it or lets go crazy. take plenty of money with you, mens t-shrt £30, programme £15, beer £3.50 a pint.

    Thanks Dunk!! I have every intention of getting a program - seen the photos and his "come hither" eyes!!! Might go to the After Party in Indigo2 - he's played quite a few times at the After Party now. The set is different every time and he always leaves fans wanting more!!
