Vanity

Please excuse me for my lack of Knowledge, looking around the other threads i'm noticing alot of songs were written for Vanity, they obviously had a relationship other than musically... can some one fill me on Princes history with her??

She loved him too. But I think Prince had a tough time giving up his other women for her alone.

Can't blame him 100%, she was also wild.

Prince is quoted as saying that everyone thought he would marry Vanity. She meant a lot to him. I believe they still love each other. Vanity has said just recently that Prince was the only man she ever truly loved.

Just look at his ex wife she is the spitting image of Vanity. Its easy to see he never really got over here.

She was one of the many girls Prince was seeing at the time. She was definately a muse, but his main squeeze at the time was Susan though according to all accounts. When Doves Cry and Private Joy were 'written about' her (Susan).

Wikipedia - The press reported there were a few reasons why she left Prince's camp: from wanting more money for the film than Prince was willing to pay her, to the break up of their relationship, as well as fighting over her newly acquired crack cocaine habit.

Is this true?? it appears that it is true...Due to the detrimental effects on her health stemming from her use of crack cocaine for over a decade during her days as Vanity, Matthews must now perform dialysis at home multiple times a day.

What a shame, Keep kids of drugs that's all i can say cause u obviously don't pay at the time....

They were on and off. They were young. Vanity has said that P was her first love. I'm sure at times P probably felt overwhelmed and just needed to step back at times. I'm sure he loved her, but just wasn't ready to commit totally.

One thing for sure, when Vanity later married the football player. P was totally thrown off. He was hurting. Not soon later he married Mayte. Love on the rebound.

I don't know what Denise is doing now...the last I remember was her Christian testimony that I saw on tv. I do not think that Denise and Mayte look anything alike. I hope that Denise is healthy and happy. cool

Wait! I thought they met at the American Music Awards or some awards event and she was there with Rick James. Yes people! Rick Fucking James! Vanity always liked a little hot sauce on her steak. Anyways, Prince is in awe of her beauty and he sends his bodyguard Chick or some other entourage dude to go ask her out and she fires back "Why doesn't he come up and ask me himself?" So she left with Prince that night and Rick James, Yes y'all, Rick Fucking James. was left hanging...figuratively I mean.

Prince loved Vanity big time but yeah he was a horn dog. I think tho, he may have been a little more faithful to her than is normal for his sexy ass. Yes, Vanity was supposed to be in PRain but they had broken up. PRain woulda been so much better with her in it. She bailed on Vanity 6, or got fired depending on who you ask, went on to forge her own music career thru Motown and made a string of crap movies. One of which was with Gene Simmons from KISS. Yeah, that ugly ass fool. the only good flick she made was Last Dragon with fine ass Taimak or whoever that dude was. She dated Adam Ant, Nikki Sixx of Motle Crue and a bunch other losers. She got fucked up on drugs, was actually using back when she was with Prince. almost died, became a born again christian and a preacher, married some tired ass football player and then wrote a book which I'm sure will either support or midly refute everything I just wrote. LMAO! Nah, I spoke gospel man,,,I used to think she was the shit and loved her and Prince 2gether!

Yes! Gosh, Taimak is extremely cute in Last Dragon. I love the sound of his speaking voice in that role, LOL. Vanity played her character well I guess, but the film would have been much better without her music/singing, *Cringes*.

He really has developed a nice set of abs since Last Dragon. giggle

Taimak is a very good martial artist. I really wish he made more movies, like Jackie Chan and Van Damme.
