Δέδυκε μὲν ἀ σελάννα
καὶ Πληίαδες· μέσαι δὲ
νύκτες, παρὰ δ᾽ ἔρχετ᾽ ὤρα·
ἔγω δὲ μόνα κατεύδω.

The moon has sunk
and the Pleiades; it is
midnight, and time moves on,
but I lie down alone…

Sappho (Cox 48)

my name is Saf,
and wen its nite,
and all the stars
are out of site,
and wen the Moon
is counting shep –
i lie alone.
i do not slep.

Prince’s secretary came to me shortly before the MTV Music Awards and said something to the effect of, “You’re not going to believe this…. You’d better sit down. ” And she proceeded to tell me that Prince wanted a costume with the BUTT OUT.
Ummmmm, OKayyyyy. What? How on earth would we do this? What fabric? How much “exposure”? Would his butt skin really be bare? Does he have a hairy butt? Or WHAT? Since there was no time to waste, he had said that he wanted to see sketches ASAP in his office. I set in to sketch. I finished within a couple of hours. I headed to his office, white knuckling it down the hall.
It was just him and me…. Looking at the sketch… So quietly….I cleared my throat and said, “Prince, I’ve done two versions for you, one with more exposure, and one with less.” The surreality of that moment cannot be over-stated here. Without a word, he took a pencil and put an X thru the version with “more exposure”.
