Soon our British and European Bouncers will be amongst the first to get their hands on  Prince's new album 20Ten when he gives it away in various print publications for free. Master at marketing and merchandising that he is, this is yet another smart move by his Purple Badness even in the midst of his baffling stance on the internet being "completely over." Although he won't be making any money from the initial release of this album, trust and believe that Prince stays paid. He still rakes in the dough from catalog sales and his concert tickets, which many don't mind eating a month's worth of ramen noodles to pay for, go for top dollar as they should to see the master at work. Surely there are more ways for the diminutive diva to add more cash to his stash, however. He already stepped his high-heeled foot into the world of fragrance with 3121 perfume, but that ended up in a nasty legal battle with the company who created it. But what if Prince revisited the concept of creating and branding products? If he's open to the idea, I'd like to suggest the following.

Prince Doll

Recently on Twitter I casually mentioned that I wanted a Prince doll and a few friends wholeheartedly agreed. Michael Jackson had his chance to be immortalized in anatomically incorrect bendable plastic, why not Prince? He already's like a male My Size Barbie, but I would love to little Prince doll to play with. I would comb his hair, dress him in various blouses and high heels, interchange his guitars, pianos and motorcyles and he'd live in a purple dream house with Barbie, Skipper and Christie. Sorry, Ken, Prince got this.
