I accidentally came across a picture of the two of them of January '05. Look at the body language. A tell-tale sign of people liking each other is that they "mirror" each other's body language. Look at them. Look at how they are both leaning into one another. I think they must be perfectly happy together.

They have no chemistry..they look like allies or buddies GF/GF sorry

He looks like he respects and admires her alot...but I don't see intense sexual chemistry like I saw with Mayte.

I love that pic, U can tell he really respects & adores her.

I dunno... but I don't really see any chemistry with those two. She's fine... but for some strange reason I can't see those guys together forever.

Thats because I'm gonna be wifey number three! Ha Ha...just kidding...but struk7 did say I looked like a combo of Mayte and Mani so it seems like the most logical choice...Prince call me baby ...

Krystal666 said:

Thats why you like Mayte soo much huh. Do u resemble her?

paul0478 said:

Some people tell me that. I guess Mayte is my idol because she kinda reminds me of myself-look simmilar, have the same demeaner, both love dance-I'd say I'm as big a fan of Mayte as I am of Prince actually!

Wow thats cool.

Krystal666 said:

Can we see a picture of you?

paul0478 said:

Actually, I think Mani's chances are better than all the others because of

Prince's age ( he maybe interested in more in life than chasing tail),

the fact that he apparently respects her,

the fact that she stays away from his business, and keeps their personal life separate (different than ALL the others in the past)

his new devotion to JW, and her embracing it... has an extra hold on him, not only would he let her down, but also himself because of JW conversion,

her obsession with him (she was a fan before setting her goal to move to another country, 1000 miles away from home in hopes of meeting him. I think if he did have an affair, she would be the most tolerant, and not nag, or worst retaliate in kind.

Why do you call it an obsession. She respected and admired the man alot, she got a job at Paisley Park, he fell in love with her, they got married. I don't see this as a stalker situation as alot try to paint it as. She was just liked a man and went after him and made it happen for herself. I don't think she would ever want to hurt p...now that is a stalker someone who is dangerous,,,she just wanted to meet and know him....and it all worked out for her. I think you guys are just jelouse becasue you didn't think of it first.

Krystal666 said:

Because that seems to be very far fetched to go to the lengths that she did to get in his circle, especially when he was "soul mates" with someone else.
I don't know if it was stalker because I wasn't there, but it does seems a little obsessed. I enjoy coming to the Org, I am collecting Prince music as a hobby, but I have a life that is MY life not a dream with a celebrity thousand of miles away that I change my entire life around just to get the chance to meet him. After all, what would be said of someone who did the same thing and did not succeed in snagging the man. To move to cold azz Minnesota, not knowing ANYONE there on the outside chance of meeting Prince. What if she ended being a clerk at Best Buy instead of getting in at Paisley Park and when someone asked why did you move to Minneapolis so far away from your family and friends and the answer is "to meet Prince". Don't that sound a little obsessive to you? Probably not, because unlike this statement you made...
That would most like describe you, not me since you make it no secret that you want to steal Mani's man away from her.
Me? I prefer men taller, lighter skinned ( ), blue eyes instead of green ( ) and less androgenous. Hey, Prince has his preference.... so does everyone else.

First of all, I think it's slightly disturbing that Prince is discussed as if he was some kind of trophy or prize that Mani ultimately "won". That attitude really typifies stalkerish/obsessive mentality if you ask me - as though the object of the obsession is a "thing" to "get" at all costs.

I've read before that people who knew Mani in college described her fixation on Prince as an "obsession" and that PRince was all she ever talked about.

To be that fixated on another human being - someone whom you don't even know and have never even met - and fixated enough that you'll go to the extreme of rearranging your entire life around that person and deliberating creating situations where you'll be able to be around that person, etc IS stalkerish behavior. Especially so, too, when you take into consideration Prince was ALREADY A MARRIED MAN. I won't even go into my thoughts on if the rumors are true about Mani involving herself into Prince and Mayte's marriage...

All I know is I'd be creeped out if someone - WHO DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ME NOR HAD EVEN EVER MET NOR SPOKEN TO ME BEFORE - decided they were going to pick up and move 100s of miles away from their home just to be closer to me, got a job near me/with me/in my same place of business just so they could be around me, and had a fixation on me to the point their peers and friends perceived it as an "obsession". That's bizarre behavior, sorry.

Lastly, and speaking for myself, I'm hardly jealous of anyone who would behave in such a way - and especially if the whispers and rumors about Mani being involved in Prince while he was still married to Mayte are true. Maybe some don't have issues with infidelity or sneaking around behind another woman's back with her man, but I have no respect for someone who'd wilingly become involved with a married peson.

Excellent points and great post. I agree wholeheartedly.

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

You spoke my thoughts BRAVO!!!

Is it really any diffrent than say Gwen Stefani wanting to work with Prince because she is a fan and Mani going to work for Prince because he is her idol?? Whatever happened after that happened...maybe she didn't even chase him maybe he chased her because she is attractive. You guys don't necessairly know if she wanted to sleep with him right away.

Oh yeah and Robin Power and Cat Glover were HUGE Prince fans too....are they stalkers too???
[Edited 5/30/05 16:57pm]

They both look like "pod people" What's with the "get-up" P. They both look like the've been attending too many JW seminars

SHE GOT HIM!! SO IT WORKED!

It's still creepy! (imo)

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

I wonder if I move to where Denzel Washington lives, get in his little circle and become his assistant...maybe...just maybe...?

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

Creepy or not, Mani you go girl!

Oh heck it's a picture of them applauding. Unless the people in the background are "mirroring" them also.

What you can deduce from this picture is that someone on stage probably did/said something that made them want to clap.

Krystal666 said:

I know you're being lighthearted, but I still don't get how it's cool to applaud someone for "getting" (snagging?) another person, like that other person is some kind of object or trophy?

KaleidoscopeEyes said:

Well I was making light of it...but really Mani seems to make Prince happy and is probably more mature than Mayte...don't get me wrong I LOVE Mayte...but she was sixteen when she met him so I think Prince just kinda molded her and then threw her away when she wanted to become her own person...Mani was kinda already her own person when she met him and seems to be more self assured so maybe that makes me feel Prince has matured a little when it comes to women...but :Mani does seem to make Prince happy I applaude her for living my dream...I wanted to marry Prince since I was twelve years old and she went and made it happen for herself so I really congradulate her for going after what she wants. I don't know how she did it but it worked!!! Your a rock star Mani!

Krystal666 said:

Nope, she's just someone living off someone who ACTUALLY IS a rock star.
