Oh, good grief. Stop with the Black issue. :eyeroll: You're really really reeeally trying to stir up that ugly pot any way you can, aren't you? Knock it off.

And as for my replying to your posts, you continue to make indirect references to what I've said in earlier posts [your comment "Comparing her to his other girlfriends looks, etc. and who gives a shit what was said about them on here" was clearly a response to my earlier post -- a post which was NOT directed at you nor responding to any of your posts, by the way, yet you still felt compelled to remark on it]. so, I've been giving you the attention you obviously are wanting.

Being a professional I know the mentally disturbed when I read their post. I'm not gonna continue this back and forth crap on this thread. Orgnote me and I'd be more than happy to help you out, but this thread is way too nice to mess up.

Bwaahaha!!! I can't!

U know he STAYS walking in front of women when they are walking. It always looks like he's kinda dragging them along, like "Come on girl! Hurry up!" I guess he's more used to walking in those heels than his women are.

He's always in a hurry, gotta stay away from the crazies!

No need to apologize, and yes, I did read about other Black dancers, that made history within majority-white balllet companies.Wikipedia is not something I would normally use as an educational source though. Also, how would you know if she did not get inspiration from earlier dancers who made history before her unless you know her personally to know this? I don't believe anyone here said Misty was the first Black Ballerina to make history, but just the first soloist, from what I've read with the "ABT".

I also didn't get that same impression she was "putting down" other dance companies like the the Dancer Theatre of Harlem or Alvin Ailey dance company, but more or less saying that Black dancers with an interest in ballet, can see themselves without limitations, when she stated she would like Black dancers to get into dance companies like ABT. Let's not play like everyone goes to the ballet, because they don't, so what she said about exposing people to that culture, who don't normally have an interest in ballet or who have never seen a ballet performance, was not a crime.

As far as you implying that she is using Prince's name to run a publicity campaign, well if Prince had an issue with that, I doubt Tavis would mention his name at all during the interview if that was the case. It seems he kept that to a minimum. I also don't agree with you that Tavis mentioned Prince's name in a "diplomatic manner" as you put it, to let her know "she's not all that". you're jumping hoops with that assumption, especially when Tavis is one of Prince's close friends, and it's clear Misty earned her way to the ABT without Prince. I think now that she is being seen with Prince, publically, there will be all kinds of assumptions/criticism about her, as we've seen with any female Prince associates himself with. Nothing new.

Preach it sis, I cannot believe the catty, dismissive, presumptuous attitude of some folks, (not just 3121) toward any lady seen with Prince, even to the point of twisting her words and actions into something sinister.

Neither Misty nor Tavis implied that she is the first black ballerina in history and for someone to suggest that after years of extremely hard training and perserverance that she's somehow using P to enhance her career? That is truly sickening if not downright delusional.

Anyway, I'm gonna enjoy the lovely photos and if the two of them enjoy each other's company then so be it. I'll leave all judging, speculation, criticism, and hair pulling to those who actually think that Prince's choice of friends is any of their damned business.

One word...MEOW!

Exactly and you know they'll be all over it. I find that poster's "assumption" to be ridiculous, catty, and coming from a "bitter betty" who is making "assumptions", yet telling everyone else not to. Who would think all this would transpire from a few pics posted? Geez, unbelievable.

While he still looks good, the hair is looking rather thin. IMO looks like a hair piece on top of his head...

I think this is probably what Prince’s hair looks like when he isn’t wearing a hairpiece. It would certainly explain how he puts his hair through so much without going bald.

I agree with this.... unless he cut it since the NYC shows it definitely looks shorter than it did then. Or perhaps the wash n go save his hair a lil shrinkage which is common for African type hair.

Because endlessly fawning over a 52 year old man with countless picture threads, posting incessantly on any thread you can find with a wink or an inane smiley, and using the term "Nursey" when you are 39 years old makes you the saner of the two.

You blatantly attempted to race bait and failed.

Shampooing does affect our hairs length until it is straigntened

No doubt Prince has some extra hair every now and then but he is still gorgeous

Aight, can't believe I am gonna jump into this fire but I find Misty kinda boring looking. I hope she has the maturity to deal with a Prince like person cause her fashion sense and the way she carries herself makes her come off like a twelve year old. And after watching Black Swan, I'm scurred for the girl. LOL

---but that's fiction.

At anyrate, her dress is a mess and looks as if Prince designed it (it's got shades of Kim Bassinger's dress disaster all over it). If she doesn't have right mind to tell a man, "look, that dress is a mess, I refuse to wear it" then lord help this relationship cause Prince is repeating his past all over again.

He looks happy these days, I think that's important enough, if he is dating her or not and if it will last or not. I missed him looking happy.

Yes I know. I have been natural for years.

Definitely a different look for him. Maybe the hair stylist wasn't available so he decided to just wing it.

He did that before and everybody saw the pic and acted like they were so shocked-he is still gorgeous.

I am wondering if he DID design the dress for her. I seriously have one of those scenarious in my mind where he delivers the dress to her via a purple chariot or some crap with a note like "U must let me dress u but first I must do a fitting" or some mess and then picks her up for this Elton John party. U know, woo-ing her. Cause y'all know it wouldn't take much to woo a woman when you're Prince.

I'd be like "dang this dress is kinda ugly" but I'd put it on anyway and get my ass dragged all the way to the party and back. BUt then agan I'm not a balerina and work me a regular 9-5 so I'd be more than happy to be paraded around by Prince to parties where celebrities will be.

P.org is crazy. CRAZY. Misty Copeland is a very cute girl, obviously has a good head on her shoulders, and is immensly talented. This thread has decended in to chaos, trying to break her down into little parts.

Her Tavis interview (where it was quite obvious she's not used to speaking about herself), her dress, her comments on her being an historical figure in the ballet world...jesus christ, she got a chance to kick it with Prince and y'all are tripping!! Not all, but a good many of you. WTF is up with this mindset? I think a psychologist would have a field day in here breaking down all the various issues involved.

Good lord in heaven, give the girl a break. Stop tripping like you're all somehow involved in this man's personal life. Yeah, everyone has their opinion as you have a right, blah blah blah, but damn, this thread went from a picture to...what we have now.

Babynoz - I think you, and several people in this thread, are making snap decisions on my purpose in providing my honest impression of a persons publicity motives. Prince has a great deal of female friends such as Sheila E, Mavis Staples, Patty Labelle, etc. and he was truly in love with Mayte. I would think that a true friend tells a friend honestly their impression and also provides information if there is incorrect information being spun in the media about a friend. Are you making an assumption that if a woman is honest with a male friend they are being caddy?

The status of Prince's friendship with anyone is none of our business, period.

Your honest impressions are not based on any known facts...only deluded assumptions. The nature of their personal relationship or lack thereof has not been disclosed by either party.

If you were true "friend" of Prince as you claim, then why not call him and tell him what's on your mind...surely such a "good friend" has his number?

Prince has a PA who is quite capable of acting as his spokesperson if need be. Some pathetic, self appointed internet "friend" such as yourself is the reason the man keeps his security tight and rightly so.

I don't care what you "think" your purpose is....you are out of line and your obsession is disturbing.

I hear that! He's got gorgeous eyes, I'd be too busy looking into those to be worried about his wash n go hair.

I'm just breaking down the outfits. I think she's lucky, any woman would be to get to spend time with Prince. I mean I know he's got a repuation and all, but so what? This is life. U live, you learn. In the meantime why not just have fun and let the chips fall? Wear the ugly purple dress. Let him take you to the Elton party. Dance with him on stage. Why the hell not? It's Prince! She's got a fabulous career that I'm sure will remain so and maybe even grow more now that P's brought her into more of a spotlight to folks who didn't even know who she was. I saw the Tavis interview, I thought she was well spoken, and I'm SURE since they are both artists they have many things in common.

3121TV said:

Armpit - Do not make assumptions. I think you missed my key point about people acknowledging who lead the way to open doors for them rather than implying they have made "history" for promotion of their own selfish goals. There was no humility in her interview and her motives are apparent.

Do not make assumptions about my purpose in providing additional information. I think anyone who has a friend would not like false information being noted about them or someone trying to take advantage of them. All I can say is in the years I have been around artists in the industry in due time eventually Jehovah reveals everything at the right time and Prince is an intelligent man.

From the other Misty thread:

So who the heck are you? You're accusing that poster in the other thread of being Misty, while your only posts are ones that are critical of her and two about a cancelled Euro show.

You also use the term Jehovah....hmmm....

Oh please, she's a public figure. Prince is a public figure and they both make money off people paying attention to who they are. If neither of them like it well, she can go work at WalMart and he can lock his ass up in Paisley Park and never be heard from again.

All is fair when you make your green off the public.

wal mart??? What the...???? Come on. yeah, they're public figures, but does that mean that people here have to lose their minds speaking about that which they know nothing? I doubt her intentions when workng her ass off to become the ballerina she is was to make money off people paying attention to her. Really? lol. I mean, really.

Bottom line, some of you really come off as a little less than solid when commenting on things like this. If he were dating Kim Kardashian, yeah, I could see the vitriol. But Misty Copeland?
