No shit - Prince is only 5'2"

[KitchenWitch]

He practically has to look up at "the girls"

:bounce::bounce:

[Dean Martin]

1. yeah but what girls they were!

I couldn't resist

[KitchenWitch]

2. Not sure you have ever SEEN the girls!

:rofl:

[Dean Martin]

19. they showed them fairly well a couple of times

Plus I saw them at the press conference last week.

[KitchenWitch]

20. We are definitely not talking about the same girls...

I am using "the girls" as a euphemism.

[Dean Martin]

22. oops

removed due to my idiocy

[KitchenWitch]

23. "the girls" is a euphemism for female breasts...

[Dean Martin]

25. My bad!

Well, I certainly feel stupid now!

[KitchenWitch]

27. I really was trying not to make you have a

d'uh moment.

Have no fear, I had one earlier today. I tried to print something off the computer without the printer cable being hooked up.

[Dean Martin]

32. Oh hell, I have em all the time!

I think I'll go home from work tomorrow morning and watch Dave Chapelle's R. Kelly impersonation again, just to get my laughs back.....

[KitchenWitch]

33. I'm sorry!

:hug:

[Dean Martin]

36. dat's okay

Anything that gives me an excuse to watch Dave Chapelle works for me! :-)

[crim son]

3. I remember when we all had a huge crush on him... when

Purple Rain came out. The fact that he was only 5'2" just added to his charm. :P

[SPKrazy]

4. Yeah, I Remember Having A Crush On Him

uh huh

actually I remember the two women in his "band" who seemed to be connected at the hip

they were in Purple Rain. Had a few fantasies about them, and me...:evilgrin:

but Prince wasn't in those :shrug:

[crim son]

6. When I was young I never "fantasized." It was pretty much

readily available. Marriage has changed all that :P

I remember one girl, dark hair. Did she try to go solo? Oh it's a long while back.

[SPKrazy]

26. I Don't Remember

I just remember watching Purple Rain over and over and over

:shrug:

It does seem there was someone that went solo from that movie, or from his band

Always liked Morris Day and the Time after Purple Rain too

[misanthrope]

38. Wendy & Lisa**nm

[drbtg1]

44. They now do the music for....

the NBC television show "Heroes".

[ronnykmarshall]

53. Wendy and Lisa?

I remember them.

Prince stepped on my foot one time in a night club in 1981. I had on sandals and homeboy had on some big ass boots. He was cruising me and apologized for stepping on my foot. I should have asked him for a kiss.

[KitchenWitch]

5. funny story

I used to be a "security person" at rock concerts at the old Met Center in Bloomington MN. Prince happened to be at one of the concerts that I was working, standing up on the soundboard platform. I was standing on the main floor and I was taller than him standing on the platform. He did smile at me very cutely!

:hi:

[crim son]

8. I love his eyes.

I have this thing about dark eyes.

[Kajsa]

14. Hi KW,

What a cool gig!

I bet you got to see him often, living in MN.

He seems like a nice guy- maybe a bit eccentric but so what?

Some of the most interesting, talented people on this planet
are eccentric.

:hi:

[KitchenWitch]

16. Very eccentric

But really very cool, albeit moody. He does have a good heart.

He once gave really decent tickets to one of his Minneapolis arena shows to all the residents of a woman's drug treatment facility.

[drbtg1]

46. Watch "An Evening with Kevin Smith"

A long Prince story in that DVD.

Someone on Prince's team forgot to get Smith to sign a non-disclosure, so he got to tell his story about working on a project with him.

[Kajsa]

56. Thanks, I'll check it out.

:hi:

[ghostsofgiants]

7. I am an entire foot taller than Prince?

Awesome.

[KitchenWitch]

9. Yes you are

As am I.

[crim son]

10. You're six-two?

That is pretty awesome!

[KitchenWitch]

11. Used to be 6'3" but alas, gravity has set in big time.

[crim son]

13. Lol! I do know you're a tall woman.

I wonder what gravity has done to my height. I haven't checked in ages.

[SPKrazy]

15. Gravity Took an inch off me

I used to be almost 6'1", now I'm just under 6' by about a 1/4 of an inch I think

maybe it's just the measurers?

I feel pulled down.

In the end gravity does win.

:scared:

[crim son]

17. I wouldn't mind being a little shorter than 5'7".

Although I remember one time when I was out partying and was talking to a fellow about my marriage crapping out. He said, "You're tall. You'll be all right." I hope he is more accurate than my father who told me when I graduated with my useless Psy/Soc degree: "You're pretty. Somebody will hire you." :eyes: Gee, thanks Dad. (Note: I'm unemployed)

[SPKrazy]

24. 5'7" Isn't Tall Really

"you're tall you'll be all right" is a strange thing to say.

You've prolly shrunk an inch or so from gravity anyhow.

So now you're 5'6" instead.

As for the psych/soc degree, all I can say is yeah, that isn't the greatest thing to have. As for the "you're pretty, somebody will hire you", you are pretty, whether that means someone will hire you I can't say. I'd imagine someone will hire you when you are ready to be hired because you are a bright person who can do anything she sets her mind to.

:pals:

[AlCzervik]

28. thats not super tall, i'm 5'6 and when i put on my slutty boots

i'm almost 5'10. Embrace your height, the shorter ones want to be taller, taller wants to be shorter, straight hair wishes it was curly, curly wants to iron their hair.

[KitchenWitch]

29. I have never wished to be shorter.

But my mom is very tall as well.

[ghostsofgiants]

12. Haha, yeah, I'm kinda tall.

[AlCzervik]

18. so that makes him about 3 inches taller than Tom Cruise.

[KitchenWitch]

21. ROFLMFAO

[SammyWinstonJack]

30. So he is two and a quarter inch taller than me? Way cool!

Little people rock! :bounce:

[Manifestor_of_Light]

31. Dayum !! Just right!!!

I'm five foot three and finding a guy I didn't feel intimidated by was tough.
My honey is five foot eight, which suits me JUST FINE.

My mom used to tower over me, but I'm not sure what her exact height was.
She was probably five-eight in her chunky heels. And five-six without em. I still thought she was way taller than me, when she was alive.
And her mom (my grandma) was bossy and about five-nine so she was quite intimidating.

I thought kids were supposed to be taller than their parents. Didn't work in my case!!

[Wapsie B]

34. Oh Dear God No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anything but that!!!

:wow:

[prolesunited]

35. So am I

We could see eye to eye.

[billyskank]

37. I think it would look kinda odd

if he was going out with you. :7

[Rhythm]

39. about the same height as Glenn Danzig and Ronnie James Dio...

i know this first-hand.
I met both of them at shows in the early 90's, and was surprised as hell that i am a couple of inches taller.

[KitchenWitch]

40. Steven Tyler is also a real shorty!

I think he is also around 5'2". I saw him at a shoe store at the Mall of America once.

[MonkeyFunk]

42. Maybe it wasn't him...

Tyler is about 5'10"

[KitchenWitch]

47. No, he is not, it was him.

[MonkeyFunk]

48. sorry

every reference I can find says he's about 5'9" to 5'10"


Here he is next to the 6'4" Roger Clemens:

[KitchenWitch]

54. Heels, he wears high heels.

[MonkeyFunk]

55. I'm sorry

I found about 5 citations that list him between 5'9 and 5'11.

I've found multiple pictures of him standing next to other people that would confirm that.

I can't find a SINGLE reference to him being any shorter than 5'9".

His daughter is 5'10". He appears to be about her height in photos.

Come on, you claim it's an elaborate lie and he always wears 7" platforms? and he buys such shoes at the Mall of America?

[grace0418]

41. Are you sure? Maybe in his heels.

He looks about 4'9" to me.

[MonkeyFunk]

43. Yeah

but he still shoots a mean game of hoops.

[bicentennial_baby]

45. "You don't believe me? Challenge him!"

:rofl:

[racaulk]

51. Damn, you beat me to it!

"And make sure your people is there to see the game, because you might get embarrassed."

Best Chappelle skit EVER!!!

:rofl:

[NewWaveChick1981]

49. He's shorter than I am...

:rofl: I'm 5 ft. 4.5 in. tall, and that's pretty short. :rofl:

[billyskank]

50. You make up for it in naughtiness

:*

[NewWaveChick1981]

52. True...

:* :hi: :loveya:

[tigereye]

57. well Mick Jagger is pretty short

and that didn't seem to have any effect on the size of his wives/ lovers, etc.
