She looks just like LaToya in her "Bad Girl" album....LaToya looks terrible in that pic with Apples. LaToya used to be so beautiful....there has to be some deep pyschological trama to make someone want to alter their appearance to that extent with plastic surgery. Yikes!

Nice.

I was wondering when a photo of these two would show up.

Do you guys ever wonder what would've happened had Prince used La Toya instead of Apollonia for Purple Rain? They each possess about the same level of talent in both acting and singing.

Krystal666 said:

omg the one with her and LaToya look very scary. Something’s going on with those lips. But over all shes looks good. Very pretty in her younger days

Maybe in singing. but I have to believe that Patricia would be a better actress than Latoya. At least she was pursuing an acting career, and therefore had to have some acting lessons and gone on some readings. Latoya was good at being the sister nobody cared about until that scoundrel "manager" got a hold of her and drive her crazy.
She is better today.... but Latoya still has that crazy look in her eyes. I am sure she has handlers to babysit her so she doesn't flip out and embarrass the Jackson family again.

Anyone alse think that Apollonia looks a bit like Teri Hatcher these days? Just me?

Actually, I can see what you mean...

Krystal666 said:

The top pic, she looks like Jasmine Guy.

I've always thought Patrica was hot.

I always thought Teri Hatcher would look like the type of woman Prince would think was hot.

I must scan that picture of Apples that is in an old Prince book. She's wearing fingerless gloves and sitting - great photo of her.

Krystal666 said:

This is my fave cuz you can see she's naturally pretty. God I hate all that clown makeup in 80s.

SCNDLS said:

Yep this picture shows how pretty and feminine she is natuarlly. I always liked her because she is such a WOMAN!

Krystal666 said:

I simply love this one! The pose, the outfit, the colors, the lightening... it's marvelous!

Krystal666 said:

She doesn't even look like "Apollonia" here but she's naturally beautiful as opposed to the overdone photos of her. But what was she gonna do it was the 80's?? Just thinking about the clothes makes my head hurt. 80s fashion. . . OH THE HORROR!!!

SCNDLS said:

I hope they NEVER bring back shoulder pads... WTF where they thinking??? why would a woman purposefully buy a dress that makes her look like a linebacker??

Appollonia has always been cool with me. She's cute, but lack sex appeal - just none.

The first time I watched Purple Rain with my mother she said Apollonia was cute, but she didn't look at all like the kind of women she played. My mum thought she'd be much better for a little more prudish role. So you're not the only one who thinks that.

3xcharm said:

No sex appeal?!!
You gotta be kidding...she was incredible in PR...amazingly hot.
Think you need a testosterone check....

I agree. Apples never looked really comfortable playing in some of those secenes and I do not think she was a very good actress.

A couple seasons ago when they brought back leg warmers and high heels I was like, "WTF???? Damn! Did the 80s and Flashdance teach us NOTHING????" Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it. . . this especially applies to fashion.

She was sexy though. Just in that good girl way. She was definatly as sexy '80s lady!

I found these at Housequake today! I've never seen these before!!!!
