”We all saw Prince expose his backside during the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, right? 🍑 WRONG! Marliss Jensen, who runs Iris Color Studio, worked for Prince for more than a decade starting in 1985, when she helped achieve the perfect color for the outfit he wore to the Academy Awards. “I never met him,” Jensen said, “which was kind of odd, because many times I had to dye fabric the color of his flesh. They used it for linings of lace garments, pockets and things like that. And That yellow suit — his ‘butt suit’ — did not show his butt, that was fabric,” she said, adding that she’s been amused fans and the media never figured it out. Regardless of the fact that the apparent cut-outs were actually exactingly matched flesh-colored panels, the outfit helped Prince’s already spectacular performance of “Gett Off” steal the show and dominate the following morning’s headlines.” 🍑🔥 ~St. Paul Pioneer Press in 2017
