Prince liked women. Full stop.
We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

No, I don't think they fall under the Denise category. They fall under the exotic-looking women he liked.

Exotic is not considered a compliment, just as an FYI.


I beg to differ. Everytime I've heard someone referred to as exotic, they were talking about beautiful women.



Differ all you want -it's an offensive and borderline racist term. I've been called "exotic" my whole life and even asked "what are you?" - it's not endearing. http://www.huffingtonpost...75547.html

It must be really rough being referred to as a beautiful exotic woman confused

I found out the hard way that some people find the word offensive when I told my ex she had beautiful exotic eyes. I had no idea she was offended until months later when she gave me a list of all the things I had unintentionally said that offended her. It was a learning experience, but I'm also less interested in dating black women if I have to second guess everything I say. I never imagined a compliment to someone, especially someone I felt close to could be taken so badly.

On topic: Cool pic. I love seeing the behind the scenes P.

It might be offensive to you, which is fine, but it's inoffensive to countless others. Differ all you want.

I'm offended that huff post author presumes to tell me what I'm thinking when I say "exotic". Also - I'm not responsible for how somebody else feels when they hear words they don't like. How they choose to manage their feelings is their effort and responsibility.

See how that works? ;-)

WOW !!! My three girls are called that by their agent and manager.Wasn't cindy crawford called that?Exotic always seemed to me that you couldn't tell what race/nationality someone was.btw someone added beautiful on the end of it.Its just exotic.Everyone exotic isn't beautiful biggrin jk And if someone isnt going to date someone because they dont know whats racist .Maybe you shouldn't then because your children would need a REAL father to defend them when they're name called just for being born.

Exotic = rare beauty. Notable because beauty in itself is an exceptional quality.

Not sure what dark recesses others' minds go when they use or hear that word.

Did he say he was celibate for 10 years? That's a mighty long time. I'm thinking I read that wrong.

I don't know if it was actually for a decade, but I do believe he was celibate for a time, especially in the last year or two before his passing.
