The Dumbest thing said to me this week......

Talking with a dude and he says to me -

"You have your stuff together. You are a man's fantasy but not a reality"

He said, "We may say we want a powerful woman but too many men need for a woman to play the background. "

I'm sure his wife is so proud. :/

If I was your girlfriend

Yeah, another Prince discussion. This man has saved my soul through the years. A follow Prince fan always refers to Prince as the ultimate "pimp". He speaks of how smooooooth Prince is lyrically. I came across the video for "If I Was Your Girlfriend," taken from the Sign of the times film. I started gigglin'. Prince IS a pimp. So clever. Witty. Smooth. Just runnin' game but damn, I'd fall for it. The title alone would get me..... IF I WAS UR GIRLFRIEND - PRINCE
