Wow, gotta pick that one up for the cover alone…
sexy mf ain’t he?
Reminds me how much Prince stole his visual style (and new wave influences) from Andre…
Though to be fair, the character everyone thinks of as Morris Day, is actually 100% Prince.
Thanks, P! André’s tunes are great. I already enjoyed them a lot on you FWV comps. I’ll go for the cover alone, that Man-kini thing is so obscure…
I have never liked Andre’s stuff very much and I am not too sure he really wrote “Controversy”, but Prince must have lifted the man-kini thing from Mr. Cymone!
man-kini, heh, do you watch ‘The Soup’ on E! ??
Oooh! Sexy tights!
Is he taking part in weightlifting or WWE?
and won’t it give him quite the inverted “Y” tanline? LOL!
I’ll give him credit, no way in hell would I dare wear that, even in my younger days. Which is probably a great relief to anyone that might have had the misfortune of seeing me in that!
So only Fun With Vinyl and not with Tights eh? LOL!
He was hoping for this look…
But some how it kinda looks A BIT ….. 2 me
Tho This KILLED IT AS ‘A LOOK’
Don’cha Think ?
I even posted sumthing like this on Jody Watleys facebook page !
*(I edited your comment to make the links a little tidier… djrichiep)
Dude, those pictures are horrible! I’d rather look at Andre in his outfit.
AW C’MON !
You HAVE to admit the Back Cover ”Outfit” is in the ‘Mankini’ Style.
The 1st bunch are by Top Fashion names (Alexander McQueen etc)
The 2nd are the ‘Cheap Copies’ I ‘spose.
Yet ALL of Them are Just AWFUL and a pure Joke !
What kind of guy Would wear anything in this style & think he looked ‘Cool’
Is beyond me – I think secretly ‘said Designers’ are just having a laugh…….xx
