One of my co-workers just returned from the Turks....had pix of P's house at nite. Was also there during the day. She said there was a car picked in the driveway when they were there that evening. Lights were on, but from the couple of pix she had, it appeared to be night lights. She said the house was spread out over the gated property and quite large and off in its own part of the island. Wonder who's car it was?

I have my suspicions...but it might have been a caretaker.

On this photo, AA bears a striking resemblance to Alicia Keys, IMHO. Maybe it's just me...

Either the caretaker or a real estate agent. Andy's brother looks flush, maybe he should buy it.

Omg flyonthewall still at it!!

Andy allo and associates just give it up already. Come clean. You don't have to do this.

Let's be serious. There is "flush" and then there is ROCK GOD FLUSH. I seriously doubt that AA's brother is a multi-millionaire, which is what is required to even get an appointment to view P's estate. The asking price is $12 million.

A stunning Caribbean hideaway belonging to the late singer Prince – complete with 10 bedrooms and a purple driveway – has gone on the market for $12million (£8.3million).

The idyllic retreat in the Turks and Caicos boasts 10,000 square feet of living space, jaw-dropping views of the Caribbean Sea, two beaches and amenities that would guarantee privacy and luxury when the star was away from his permanent home in suburban Minneapolis.

It's called a joke, Fly. And why did Andy chop all her hair off ? She looks like a dude.

Ha!! I thought so. As to why Andy chopped off her hair, I think it is a manifestation of her grief. She addressed the question in her New Year's post, in which she talked about all the changes in her life in 2016. "I suppose the biggest change of all was cutting my hair. I was always so scared of cutting my hair because it had become such a big part of my identity. It's been so freeing to let go of something I thought defined who I was."

Once again, here is that complete post.

She isn't the most attractive girl. Like most of Prince's later flings he dropped the ball on this one. Have you seen her in the wells fargo commercial? She defintely looks like a dude there.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Andy may not be your cup of tea but she is not the creature from the black lagoon. He found her attractive and anyone who thinks they did not have a romantic relationship is delusional. I always find it interesting that so-called fans always hate on any women of color P was involved with be it romantically or professionally. I so understand why he kept his personal life private.

Oh please! This isn't an issue of color. There is nothing spectacular about her looks at all, and you will deal. Her looks are average at best, she looks like the typical bi-racial girl. When Prince goes from dating stunners like Vanity, Carmen & Mayte to Andy Allo's & Judith Hill's the man went way off.

It does not really matter what you think about her looks as you did not have to look in her face he did. Casting directors and model agencies do not see it from your point of view or she would not have gotten any of those jobs.

I hope you realize their is more to a person than there looks and since none of us know Andy and Prince did we have to say their was something about her that he found attractive and it may not have all been about her face or body.

I don't care what kind of modeling she is doing they are not hiring her by looking at the back of her head.

I think laurarichardson is absolutely correct: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Still, in the eyes of most beholders, Andy is nothing less than stunning. Personally, I prefer the fro, but the choice is hers. She looks particularly amazing in this cover shot for NOUVEAU MAGAZINE.

.

Here is a recent shot of her with her New Year's message. It's dramatically different, and it's not my favorite look on her, but the girl is still drop-dead gorgeous. There is absolutely nothing dude-like about the young woman pictured here.

UPDATE: I recently learned the following from a post by one of Andy's FB friends. He left this photo, along with these remarks on her Prince tribute thread:

.

I was wondering how you were dealing
And handling
.
Didn't hear from you here in days.
.
Prince left it to people like yourselves to pick up the ball
Real musicians
.
Like Black Lives
Albums matter
Music matters
.
Real music.
.
I took this photo of you and Prince at that private evening at AME
I'll never forget it.
.
Hope you come to toronto. His second home waits for you.
.
God bless

.

Based on a radio interview with Prince, he referred to jamming at AME after his Welcome 2 Canada Tour show that night, November 25th, 2011. Responding to a question about the photo, her friend supplied these additional details.

.

This is in a restaurant. We were sitting in a booth. The curtains he was opening in this photo was him going into the kitchen to get Tea. Lol. I have the little cup he was drinking out of.

.

The Ame Restaurant/Lounge in Toronto is now closed.

I agree with you - Fly. I wonder what P would have thought about all these mean-spirited comments, if he were alive and reading this.

On another note, how is AA supposed to promote the Superconductor and Oui Can Luv albums without mentioning P's name? I presume that she is obligated to promote the albums to recover PP Studios' investment in the albums.

P's estate benefits from sales of the albums since he is entitled to royalties from both albums. Yet there is resentment about AA promoting the albums or even mentioning P's name, while people gloat about the fact that the albums have not sold too well.

A case of damned if you do, and damned if you don't!

Thanks -- Fly. I had seen the photo and read the related story a while back. I am glad you were able to fish it out. I was wondering what P was doing at the curtain. Soon after P passed I researched all the young people -- AA, Nik West, Damaris, Delilah, Kandace, Lianne, Shameless Maya, Coco & Breezy etc. that he had been hanging out with. He was critcized for taking advice from 20-something year old girls. I am glad that they all gave him a chance to experience normal life outside his bubble -- going to cafes and hanging out with their friends. They were not as jaded with him as older people of his generation are. Coco & Breezy said they went out to restaurants with him quite frequently. It gave him an opportunity to enjoy a normal existence before he passed.
