Second thoughts...

This dress was inspired by Prince music ("Alphabet Street") a long time ago. I only wore it once or twice, with a purple turtleneck beneath it. The stripes are irregular, and the fabric is challis-like.

I used to play music for inspiration, and most things I made for about 5 years were done to music by Stevie Wonder, Bobby McFerrin, Eryka Badu, Roberta Flack, and Dave Matthews.

Okay, I have to be strong... almost all of my Prince Albums on Ebay have bids and many watchers. Funny how letting go of a piece of my history (I didn't even realize I still had, mind you) makes my stomach do flips. But hey, I know I have no intentions of buying a record player, I wouldn't play any of this with my children around, and I just feel an incredible need to de-stuff...

Can anyone relate?

Farewell, my sweet Prince...

Who knew I had 20 Prince albums? Okay, this is garment-related, since I was always impressed by the uniqueness and masterful craftsmanship of his performing wardrobe.

I found a stack of 20 (yes, 20) Prince albums I had tucked away more than 15 (yes, that many!) years ago, and decided that since I no longer have a record player, and there are real collectors out there (maybe), that I should part with them.

So, I took a deep breath...

and put them on Ebay.




That's just a small sampling.

Did I mention I was a Prince fan? Still am, but not in the same obsessed way... It does hurt to sell them, though - but another 20 years in a storage space does no one any good, right?
