The "Do" That Was a Don't

I take a lot of grief for being a Prince fan, and usually I can take it, but last night, I was glad I wasn't watching the Super Bowl with Roxanne!

You all know how excited I was that Prince was performing the half-time show! I usually don't even watch the Super Bowl. But this year, when folks asked who I was pulling for, I had an answer - "PRINCE!"

Imagine my disappointment when he came out in what can only be described as a "do rag." And not just any "do-rag," but an Aunt Jemima style "do-rag."

I can justify purple eyeshadow and heels on my man, Prince - that's part of his purpleness from way back - but the "do rag?" I can't explain.

Far be it from me to suggest styles for the Purple one, but if I'd been his stylist, I'd had a fedora on hand to protect him from the rain. And if I'd had to fall back on a scarf, I would've tied it gangsta-style.

"Do-rag" aside, the show was AWESOME! He sang one of my favorite Prince songs - Baby, I'm a Star - which I have on my workout mix and listen to EVERY DAY! And Purple Rain? You can't beat it, especially in the pouring rain!

He also still looks fabu - especially when you consider he's almost 50! His skin is flawless, and they got a great shot of him cutting his eyes, which drives me CRAZY! But you know, my DOG weighs more than Prince. And Winston - he was having NO PART of watching Prince last night!

Just in case you missed the show, I'm reluctantly posting a "do-rag" picture from last night. He did pull it off during Purple Rain, but as Sister said, "He shouldn't have!"
