HEY APW,
Najva here. Don’t even know what to say other than: Prince is dead. My personal celebrity doppelganger and the human I consider the most talented live musician I have ever seen is no more. I guess other things have happened. I’ve had poke for the first time in LA, hung out with our writer Faz, and even got to spend a few nights in the old Disney cottages Snow White was based on. But really: Prince. Is. Dead.
Let’s have a moment of silence for his gender-bending, shade-throwing, style-icon-status, unstoppable genius (and ignore the spotty politics of his late life. I mean, can a homophobe really wear stripper heals and ruffles?).
And now, it’s your happy hour y’all. Take it away.
Cheers,
Najva
