Crush of the Week: Prince |
|
Some pop stars are smart-sexy, some are slutty-sexy, but the best ones are crazy-sexy. And the craziest, sexiest of the crazy-sexy contingent is, weird-shaped guitars down, Prince. Who is immune to the charms of the narrow-hipped, paisley-clad Minnesotan with the keyboard-guitar? With his lacy jabots, meticulous facial hair, and come-hither smile, the symbol beckons to a world where life is somehow simultaneously far purer and far freakier, where you can be "formerly known as" yourself, where being enslaved is just part of love, where driving off into the night on your motorcycle and leaving your girlfriend naked and alone is a way of showing a devotion too refined for flowers and candy. What would he do to you if you followed him into his candle-laden Midwestern mansion? The mind reels. For a man with the power to make the cheesiest image of our time (crying doves) poignant is a man who can certainly blow your mind in bed. And for this, he is our crush of the week. —Ada Calhoun |
