Goodnight Sweet
Prince & Princesses
April Rain
I’m ashamed to admit it – but last night was the first time I had ever seen Purple Rain

and to my surprise – it was an incredible movie!!!
here’s why…
(and we don’t even need to list the music as a reason)
Apollonia’s treasure chest and ASSets
although she does look a bit like Tim Curry as Dr Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show
–
the way Morris Day moves, and his eyes pop
–
that motorcycle is mad RAD!!!
–
and the movie has a sorta Batman feel to it!!
there’s a dark city, lots of smoke, good guys, bad guys and some of them wear capes!
–
The MUSTaches
–
a woman gets tossed in a dumpster!!
which ends up being the least harshest thing that happens to a woman in this movie
–
the editing is amazing – and the cinematography too – and the make-up also also!!
–
the guy who played the bouncer was also Prince’s real-life bodyguard!
Charles ‘Big Chick’ Huntsberry
–
this guy and his nods of approval
–
Prince being Prince
–
thank you Prince
