And let's all remember, both of these women look HOW PRINCE WANTS OR WANTS THEM TO! I mean, the basic are there, but I'm sure he chose the look!

For the record, too, maybe next time you should say "look at those healthy or muscular thighs". it will definitely go over better with us HEALTHY women.

I saw Mayte up close once at an aftershow and I couldn't believe how striking she was.

Mr DESPUEs Mayte Looks Great Now and she's a PUERTO RICAN Beauty. Manuela is Italian and EQYPTIAN....They are Both Pretty Women. Different types. Prince acted WILDER with Mayte though. With Manuela he has become Quiet and Subdued. Remember whomever ya mate is Usually rubs off on ya. Prince always liked a CERTAIN TYPE of Woman....Said Mayte was Smart different languages right? She came from a Military Background. I Loved her Dancing. She could do ANY style. Manuela brings a Different Appeal to Prince. I Totally thought the hair weighed her down and she was dressing OLDER and Covering up her Svelte Body. I am Glad her and Prince Changed their Dressing. Both look better. I am also glad he and her started going out in public instead of RECLUSIVE Behavior. As long as Life is good for Prince I am Happy for him and whomever he is with. One must Always want their IDOL to Do WELL and STRIVE. I Love Him So! I Want Him ALWAYS Happy and HEALTHY. I Just want him to Create AWESOME MUSIC ALWAYS.... That is the MAIN THING...

I love that picture of Mani I think that is the second best picture along with the one from the oscar.

I like this one and the one with her wearing that pretty gold dress. Kudos to whomever has changed the clothing,hair and grooming. Look back at those basketball photos and weep. Was I Right to Say CHANGE the STYLE? YES!!!!! Anyways, remember back when Prince had Mayte dressing up? She had on suits and I remember a pretty dress with strappy sandles. Remember Prince liked BARBIE Dolls. Latino Barbie Doll! Anyway, Thank God for the New Looks. Makes bothof them look Younger and Classier. Whatever the case shall be... I just am Truly Digging that picture of Prince at NPGMC with the Gold armcuffs shooting pool and that one of him in the long black jumpsuitesque outfit. He looks in really Great Tone and SEXY..... I am also Happy I have a Big Mouth on Opinions cause people Listen.

There's pictures all over the place of their rings.

And I just wanna say, I think Mani is beautiful and I am very happy for Prince.

I saw Mani's wedding ring when I was speaking to her in toronto

It's all in what constitutes classy. If it's all looks and you are only judging from these two photos, then yes Mani comes out looking better, but that is not all that class is. Class to me is also a personality and poise which you can not fully experience from a photo.

Class is also self confidence. Look at how Mani is sitting on the side of her chair as close to Prince as possible. I'm a psych major but anyone knows what that type of body language can imply.

Just some thoughts! I have no strong opinions on his personal life either way, I'm a dork and just wanted to share some psychology!

Mayte was/is 100 times better. And Mayte has a dancer's body whereas Mani has an anorexic body.

C'mon, Mani, you should change your pen name -- "Dan1" is becoming really transparent!!

Bwahahahaha!!!!

Oh please Mayte is 100 times prettier than mani. Mani looks like a corpse, a walking mummy. Have you seen her smile ::shutters:: Just b/c Mani has dark features that doesn't automatically label her as "exotic" as most you people like to say. I think Prince needs to learn the difference. I think he believes all dark skinned brown eyed dark haired girls are exotic which is not the case. I am middle eastern and some girls with dark features are exotic looking and some just are not. Mayte's face alone is so unique. It has so much symmetry and I love how Prince had her bangs cut like a V shape upside down. It matched her jaw bone and the rest of the features on her face. There are a 100 pics of Mayte out there candid and not that show this beauty of hers. Take Mani's best pic and compare it to Mayte's worst, and Mayte will still come out on top.
Now I know you guys are thinking well look at her sn she's a Mayte fanatic! Okay fine. But listen to this... A friend of a friend of mine recently went to the Musicology concert. She is not a Prince fan and knows nothing really of Prince except for all the hit songs he made that made him popular to the public. So she got a tour book. She was telling me of all the pictures inside b/c I was so jealous that she went and I wanted all the details. Then she said whose this woman standing next to Prince? Is that his Mom? I about burst out laughing because the woman she was describing was Mani! I told her that's his wife, she's like wow she looks like his mom. Prince is definately the better looking one in this relationship. But I'm just giving ya'll an unbiased point of view of Mani. This girl knew nothing about Mani and she believed she looked old. Nothing was striking about Mani for her to ask who is this beautiful woman on his arms? Mayte is prettier and most importantly is kind and humble, at least that's what all her ex's seem to think of her (Prince, Tommy Lee) Thanks all for hearing me out.

I agree BlaqueKnight!

Well, anyway, if I were Mani, and I was going through his old records, I'd be mad to stumble across this:

Let's Pretend We're Married

Excuse me but I need a mouth like yours
2 help me forget the girl that just walked out my door
Funny but it seems that you're alone like me
If U r go let's come see what we can see

Prince just always needs someone near him. It doesn't have to be love. Oh my what will happen when he truly loves someone like how he loves music?!?!

What is it that Sade sings -- Heaven help him, when he falls [in love, that is].

Well, and then in that song Let's Pretend We're Married he sings:

"Whatever U heard about me is true
I change the rules and do what I wanna do
I'm in love with God, he's the only way"

Well, this just says it all. He only loves God. Those "muses" are just on his arm for one thing: so PRINCE won't be lonely. I mean, he can't sleep with GOD and he can't sleep with music ...

Ha, I read too much into everything, but I can't help it.

Ha! and here I thought Dan was in love with Mani. Actually, Dan is Mani!

This post is so on the mark, I wanted to see it again.

Ya know, I saw this month's Ebony article... there is a pic of Prince with Mani, I think the one of Mani wearing a purple dress. Her neck looks very old. My mom always told me that is how you can tell a woman's age, by the back of her hands and her neck. It looks like a chicken neck or a crow's neck.
I dismissed it because she is so slim, I thought maybe that is the reason... but my first thought was damn she is old looking.

click to make pic bigger, see the neck??

Even after your dissertation, at the end of the day, Mani is the one that gets to and is Mrs. Nelson..
