Prince at some point in time used Botox. You can see it in the professional black and white photo with Andy Allo. The crinkles around the side of his nose is the classic tell all signs of Botox. I cant get the photo to upload!

yeah. When he sang "I ain't never had my nose done" (implying that he hadn't had any work done) I'm pretty sure at that point he hadn't, but did later.

.

It really doesn't matter, I would have if I were him!

.

He was obviously vain and I'm sure wrinkles, saging skink, and aging was extremely hard for him to witness.

Oh 4 cryin' out loud. No Botox, just Photoshop his forehead and everything still MOVED. And the nose thing was a dig at MJ.

I personally love the mature P just as much as 86' P, plus that crinkle in his nose melts my heart.

We're going down this road again eh? These kind of things R so stupid, and it's beyond me why ppl take the time 2 come on here 2 pick him apart and others tear him down, U got nothing better 2 do? U know, if U really want 2 see some1 who needs plastic surgery or help hiding ugliness and age (immature) it's ya'll that do this shit.

Yet U adore/respect/love him and his music? Riiiiight.

Black does not crack. I'm 26 and somebody thought I was 19-21 the other day

I am not black and when I was 26 I was still getting carded for cigarettes.

He took good care of himself and had good genes. I find in strange that people think he had botox and was able to make all his funk faces at gigs. I don't believe he ever had any plastic surgery, but if he did it was very subtle and a good job. He is one of the few celebrities I think that if you saw him not doll up, you won't say he look horrible. He had such pretty features. Nice eyes, lips, and nose. Young or older that man knew how to strike a pose and had style.

He didn't need to do anything, he was beautiful anyway but if he chose to I don't see what the problem is. I don't think he had a nose job but I think he may have had filler/botox, just a little. Stop being judgemental and questioning people's love for him just because they said he may have had botox.

I agree that he was beautiful and didn't need 2 do anything but, that's about all I agree on.

Let's use common sense here (which seems 2 be an acquired taste) the man needed hip surgery, and put it off 4 years all the while getting worse and being in horrible pain. Yet he'll undergo the knife and endure that pain all 4 the sake of vanity? No pun intended. Yeah, that makes perfect sense. I'm under no impression that he wasn't vain, I'm mean come on we all R 2 an extent. But we all know how he was about his looks and even 2 have tried a filler or botox junk? I don't see him doing it 4 taking a risk in what it may do.

I think that despite whatever he was doing before, he had decided to start aging gracefully. The afro, the more relaxed clothing (no suits!).

Um. I don't think that's Mellody Hobson. I'm pretty sure that's a journalist at a roundtable discussion that P invited to PP. You can read the article here: http://prince.org/msg/7/429979 This is Mellody Hobson: http://pc-uploads.s3.amaz...rried1.jpg [Edited 7/29/16 23:58pm]

UH....did you read the photo caption on that article?

I don't look my age. You'd never, ever know... baby! I keep a painting of myslef in the basement and if it ever catches sunlight then I will show my true age.

Tried it ... didn't work for me though.

I'm looking older than Methusaleh these days.

Prince,like everybody else,was starting to age.His hair got thinner and yes the wrinkles were starting to appear.It's something that nobody can avoid.Let's not act like he still looked like he was 22 years old I think it's a good thing for a person to look their age instead of trying to fight it.

I see the point you're making but I really don't see anything wrong with a little medical intervention as long as it's not over the top. Well have to agree to disagree. In the grand scheme of things it doesn't even matter if he did or didn't...

That partially is my point, is in the grand scheme it doesn't matter. It didn't effect the quality of his work/talent or the beauty that was inside him. The comments I made about ppl not respect/loving him 4 the music still stands tho and it wasn't directed at U, just so ya know. 2 clarify what I meant by saying that, is when ppl make the tee hee type immature uncalled 4 type jokes or digs when talking about these kind of subjects concerning him, it just irks me as it does others.

Every1 has an opinion and we all don't have 2 agree but, it's the little things like snide remarks and digs at him, that it's just like how can U be so damn petty and harsh but yet say U love him or whatever. But that's just me.

Photo captions, despite their promise of journalistic vetting, can be incorrect too and require fixing!

>

Anyway, per the thread, I'll sayy that Prince kept himself looking coo' and individualistic no matter what & however one may believe in procedures that he "had done" to himself. Sure he had aged but it was a relatively graceful process for him despite whatever ailments he ever kept to himself (not trying to be scandalous to say that--he was just super-private about his health details, obviously).

>

I don't believe that he was into invasive cosmetic measures (but WTF what do I know). Photoshop--yeah; makeup--fosho'; jewelry & costume distractions--mmm-hmm! The genetics makeup + non-cracking Blackness--sure. Having cashflow will keep some stressors in check! He also spent much time doing what he loved in life; held beliefs that kept his spirit young and distance pesky detractors; had no children to wear him down (lol); a lot-o cute chickies around and some sex to keep him enthusiastic about all that his life was about; didn't mess with too many of the wrong people; prayer, too, I guess--it's been proven to have a positive life-effect. Plus music was his muse. And he could shake a funky tambourine!

the funny thing about plastic surgery on someone like P or mj, jennifer connelly,halle berry et al (people who have been in the business for ages) is that there are always before and after pictures. i never understood why people bothtered to lie about it or get defensive or whatever. making an observation is not being judgemental, anyone who can't tell the difference between those two is being immature and just plain silly. not all of those changes are photoshop, lights and make-up. you either have this nose or another one. you either have boobs or not. noone has a growth spurt in their 20s! no one's nose get smaller and more refined as they get older! medical fact -ears and nose keep growing until death. getting caps(chicklett teeth) or dentures change the whole shape of your mouth and lower face, and you think noone notices? please. people have no problem pointing out that apolloina,mayte, carmen, robin and even denise for a time, bought themselves new tits but we can't acknowledge that P had a little freshening up? we're not supposed to notice that or say something bcoz we're loyal fans!?!

++

i used to kiss posters of the the man when i was 10/12 yo. i've studied his face for 30yrs - yes i noticed he had some work done!! if you don't want to know that or believe that fine. but that's very much your problem not mine.

I've never put THIS much thought or worry into this non sense, but if U want 2 waste Ur time on Earth in doing so knock Urself out. I didn't know making out with a poster and being obsessive makes 1 an expert, as I've not been down either road but ooook.

Just because you believe it doesn't mean it's true. I don't care how long you "studied" his face. We'll never know.

U're kind of awesome rogifan.

Exactly. Cuz this sistah looks like she has baby twists and glasses. He earrings are completely different from the wedding and reception photos, not to mention her skin is far darker and her jaw/mouth don't look consistent with other pictures of the bride at the wedding. Anyway, I dunno if P had any cosmetic work done. I never noticed, but if he did it must have been minor cuz I don't remember him looking plastic or overdone.

.

"HER earrings" -- right?

The photo caption is from the Associated Press.

The wedding was held in Lucas' Skywalker Ranch in MARIN COUNTY, CALIFORNIA on June 22nd, 2013.

The reception was held a week later (June 30th) in CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.

I made the Botox comment so you are saying I am immature, snide, and petty? Why so harsh? Lighten up Charmed. Didnt you make some harsh comments about Bria?

Uhm.. I went from a tiny A cup to an E in my early thirties. And no surgeon's been near my boobs. Just because it doesn't happen to everyone, don't assume that it can't happen.

Can I say I'm kind of diggin' that, that misinformed opinion of Bliss is being debunked by Bunsterdk. Perfect irony. P could turn that into some groovy lyrics.

Did U see where I quoted U SPECIFICALLY and called U such things? Nope U did not. So unbunch Ur panties. If U think he got botox w/e that's all U hun. And yup I did make what was it 1, maybe 2 jokes about Bria on another thread? I'm allowed 2 speak my mind as U R Urs. Didn't know I had a following or ppl had time 2 keep track of what I say and do on here, IDK if I should be flattered or creeped out.

It's gonna be 1 of these days on the org isn't it? Everybody got PMS and Midol is no where in sight.
