Creem Profiles

VANITY 6

(Pronounced “Boy Howdy!”)

August 1, 1983

HOME: The house that Prince built.

AGE: The age of consent.

PROFESSION: Nasty girls.

HOBBIES: Creating wet dreams, applying make-up, being driven wild and returning the favor, simple multiplication, refusing to hang up when a girl answers, makin’ time with the Time.

LAST BOOK READ: The Sensuous Woman by ‘J.’

LAST ACCOMPLISHMENT: Finding seven inches.

QUOTE: “Bite the beat.”

PROFILE: These girls had a dream (as wet as it may have been), so Vanity, Susan and Brenda left their native nests for Minneapolis where they hooked up with Prince (definitely not a dull guy), wrote some songs, entered the studio with the Time, and merged the sound of girl groups, funk and pop to create one of the slurpiest LPs of the last year.

BEER: Boy Howdy!
