Two scarce pieces of 'Sexy MF' ephemera: a black card featuring Prince's symbol in gold and his pre-printed facsimile signature inside, encouraging the recipient to "Keep on Shakin' that Ass!," dated June 7, [1992], with its original envelope; and an 'Aunt Esther' paddle fan, with Paisley Park Studios label on the reverse. In fine condition.
Prince's former co-manager Jill Willis recalls: "Just as 'Gett Off' was his birthday release promotion in 1991, 'Sexy MF' was the same in 1992. Although he went on to stop celebrating his birthdays, during the years I worked with him, he was always up for a party or an 'event' like releasing a single on his birthday. The Aunt Esther paddle fans are apparently quite rare now but seemed to be everywhere around Paisley Park at one time."
