I'm not going to bore you with my everlasting love for Prince, because everybody loves him anyway. But I still love him more than anyone. So, Prince has always been surrounded with girls. The pattern seems to be as follows: He would pick a gorgeous girl with the coolest origins (say something like Scottish, Guatemalan, Iranian and Malian) and long hair who can sing, dance, play drums or guitar and act (the latest refers to Carmen Electra). Finds them a sexy, cheesy, greek stage name and dress them in underwear. Follow from this: Apollonia, Vanity, Diamond, Pearl, Sheila E...
In 1981, Prince decided to create a girl band, "Hookers", later changed to "Vanity 6" (the explanation of '6' is because they were 3 women x 2 breasts each). The group was composed of Susan Moonsie, Brenda Bennett and Denise Matthews aka Vanity. Prince wanted to name her Vagina, and I still can't figure out why she'd dismiss it.
"Nasty Girls" is a tune. Later, Vanity was replaced by Apollonia, who played in the Purple Rain movie. The band was rebaptised Apollonia 6 and sang 'Sex Shooter".
that's Apollonia
A casual evening at your local bar with Apollonia 6Ok, not that many hits, but they were really, really cool.
Another inseparable item is Diamond and Pearl, aka Rubia Lamorte and Lori Elle who were not twins but had the best moves in "Get off", "Cream" and "Diamonds and Pearls".
One of his key-character was the oh-so-cool-it-hurts drummer/singer/musical director Sheila E., who worked on Purple Rain, Sign O' The Time and LoveSexy. She also worked with Ringo Starr, Beyonce, Phil Collins, Cindy Lauper... Click here to watch her hit "The Glamorous Life".
At some point he got married to Mayte Garcia, for who he wrote 'The Most Beautiful Girl in the World"...
I sometimes do that with my boyfriend tooLast but not least, after all these over sexy girls, Prince's "secret weapon" as he called her, is the one and only Rosie Gaines. Oh, Diamonds and Pearls, oh, Nothing compares 2 U...
This is a look meaning " I would die 4 U"Pauline

For me,Lori Elle Werner is the most beautiful,
