Ew, that picture -- she has this "ghetto girl attitude" look on her face. She is reacting this way, making this face, because she knows how PRINCE female fans are. Most of Prince's female fans LOVE (more than LOVE) Prince. They love him in that "If-only-he-got-a-chance-to-see-me" kind of way. And if another girl out there is just as shrewd and smart as Mani, she might be the next "muse."

Mani has that "don't-mess-with-me" look in that photo. This is meant for those other female fans that want PRINCE as much as she did. And she got what she wanted (Lucky gal).

I wonder if she listens to I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER over and over again in the house they share together? Does she only listen to PRINCE music and nothing more? I wonder.

I remember a "friend" of Manuela's from high school said in an article that Manuela used to listen to I WANNA BE YOUR LOVER over and over.

And another thing, she's one year younger than me, but she looks as if she could be my aunt or something. If I were to talk to her in the street, I'd feel as though she was an elder talking to me. I feel that way around some people that are younger than me; they just seem so OLD already and so settled in life.

This girl cannot be 20 something -- no way! Even Badu looks younger than her and Badu is in her 30s.

trust me, coming from englewood in chicago, she does not have a ghetto look, prince can't handle a ghetto girl nor he cant control one. if used to be on the org or whereever hopefully she really does love him and not his showbiz persona. if it is really just obsession then all that is in the dark comes into the light. and she is pretty, there nothing wrong with her. i like to say the real problem i have with his choices in women but that's whole nutha topic outside of prince. i don't wanna start any flames.

Yes, do tell!

Well anyway, trust me: seeing the ghetto girls in Hartford, CT -- that face is all ghetto (albeit, on Mani it might be a learned look-- not one she wears all the time like the "ghetto girls.").

And I am in no way saying she looks like those ghetto girls...BELIEVE ME I KNOW! I am just saying her facial expression is that of one of those girls...

i think you're being more than a little harsh:

i gonna go ahead with what i was saying. i'm hatin' a little on mani but the problem i have with his choices in women is the same i have with rap stars and black basketball players. Most of them seem to be only conditioned to accept only one type of beauty in women. has he ever dated any black nappy headed women? i missed alot of things going on with prince, maybe i'm missing something. I would like to believe that he likes all types of women. and believe it or not there are alot of little young black girls who want to be something they are not and can never instead of accepting who they are. and you know what this applies to all girls. Cause thats how we grow up. but i can only speak from a little black girl standpoint. i still love prince tho no matter what.

[color=blue:dfc3f6cd51]Prince comes from an era where light skinned = better on the society chart. He got bombarded with the same images of pretty as everyone else in the black community did at that time. He himself is a "type". The light-skinned pretty boy type. In the black community, this image has been replaced by the "real man" (Morris Chestnut, Tyson Beckford, etc.) type. When you look on t.v. now, almost all you see are light-skinned black women and dark-skinned black men. The media is always pushing a "type". Don't sweat it, sista. He's just one man affected by his upbringings like everyone else. There is plenty of appreciation for a beautiful chocolate sista amongst the brothas (as long as that ass ASS is banging ) [/color]

I abhore the stereotypical view of "black beauty" these days too. But in my opinion, external beauty has little to do with who you fall in love with. If I ever had a "type" of man that went out the window when I met my boy. You don't fall in love with an image portrayed on the latest Nelly video - you fall in love with a person.

You may not be Prince's type, but you are somebody's type. Rest assured. Look at Denzel's wife. Very un-Hollywood.

Well Mani is having her way with Prince every night and everyone else here is just stuck with what they have or don't have

And why is it Prince doesn't date WHITE WOMAN with BLOND Hair. All the black woman are always saying stuff but Brother man Never Dates White women who are like Swedish? He is Dating Puerto Rican or light skin-blcks. Yes, Prince sees Color. I Think That's Sad. A Man in his Position can Date whomever he wants and Most SUCESSFUL Black Men Date or Marry White Blond woman. Prince seems to be Afraid to Step Outside of his Race when it comes to dating and Marriage. Like I said Most Woman were Puerto Rican ,Spanish or Light Black. With some Exceptions say Susanna Melvoin and some Affairs,Sheena Easton, Kim Bassinger. Prince Generally goes for Petite Woman who are Tan.

I just wish she would add some Highlights in her hair ya know the new look is this like ya put like white or red . I just wish Mani would do some Wild shit with her look. I Like all the Hats and wigs and clothes. I figure if I can't be with him let Mani dress as I would. I think she should be really Dressing Wild. It's really Cool.

What in the hell do you look like?

Damn, there are some freaks on this site.
