I think it was done to match their height....maybe Renato is a bit taller than his boss, and you know P is touchy about that in most group photos.

I could not find Guitar Player or Bass Player anywhere! the store that used to havel practically any damn magazine you could imagine has drastically cut back on what's available now. Dang! I gotta start making more 2hr road trips to DC... then again, I also need to have some time off from these horrible 14-15 hr back-to-back shifts as well!

Go, Brasil go!
I hope Renato gets all the praising he deserves. He is an amazing musician.

SassyBritches said:

Thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks he looks like PeeWee Herman!

PurpleCharm said:

"Keyboard", "Bass Player" and "Guitar Player" are all owned by United Media.

Fair play - just trying to pitch in and lend a hand.

pdubble said:

- Good point. Prince indeed looks big compared to Renato. Renato is probably taller than him. Probably Photoshop...

Renato actually isn't that much taller then P, Its a low angle shot and Prince is in front of Renato.
But its great to see Prince featuring on more and more industry type media not just trash tabloids.

Hey Gus, congrats on the great victory today!

I gotta go get this mag. He looked goooood to the last drop on this cover. Thank you 4 being so lovely.

CalhounSq said:

p.s Renato is awesome





...and a little funny looking

Why doe sprince have sooooo much make up on?
Lips looking kinda delicate and tender....

I mean, does he have to wear that much? It's getting too close to Michael Jackson for me.

STOP THE INSANITY!!!!!

Copycat said:

Thanks for responding. Those are the exact mags that I was thinking about when I made my post...

Prince has a long face in that picture

KatSkrizzle said:

My thoughts exactly! lately he has been going for more of a made up look, although when I saw him in concert he didn't have it (probably would melt off!). In the interviews he did early on he was wearing less and looking real fine. The last couple I've seen he had it pasted on.

Is there a cycle here? Looking back seems like every time things start going really well he starts going to even greater extremes with how he looks (and maybe musically?) What's up?

But I still think he is DANG sexy no matter what!!

am i the only female that doesn't find him hot? the music is the truth, but i mean really?being 5'8'' with a whole lotta badonka donk....hell no!!! (that's why I loved some Al. B Sure in high shool.... ha ha ha!)
and the make up? maybe if you still find 80's glam sexy. I don't know....he's never done anything for me. But that extra third layer of face paste on that cover disturbed me
smooches!

Sorry, but Renato looks much better in person.

And that SOMA magazine.

What's up with that?


BTW: Anyone in the US who is NOT a subscriber been able to find the August issue of "Q"magazine.

I still can't find it.

KatSkrizzle said:

- Exactly....I think Prince is getting ´cleaner´ in his life in the last years. He is giving cool interviews, he isnt so androgynous as in the past, etc. But I still don´t understand why the heavy make up. He could be more ´simple´ today.
Thanks, Orlando, for the kind words!

PurpleCharm said:

Coming from Prince, I would guess that Most of these photos are done at / from his camp and not the magazines' photographers. I'm sure he did a huge photo session before hand and sends the publications from what he chooses.

Espessially after reading the quote from NPGMC regarding the SOMA issue. "Dat not what dem photo look like when day got 'em!!"

Heidi said:

unless he puts makeup on his hands too, I'm thinkin this pic was from the dead of Minnesotan winter ... whoa..

that's about as close to Mikey J I ever want to see him looking... maybe the mag lightened the photo?

it's funny, y'all are concerned about the color of his skin in the picture, and i'm thinking, what the heck is he doing with a nail file on the cover of a magazine?! that'll help his image! yeah, right. what's next, a white blouse with red polka dots? oops! ...time to get out the guitar!

CherryMoon said:

yeah,it seems to have sold out everywhere around me too , I never saw the Roling stone issue with his interview anywhere either

I'VE RECENTLY DISCOVERED THAT I'M IN LOOOOVEE WITH RENATO. HE'S INTRESTING LOOKING...IT'S SO HOT. HE'S ALWAYS DRESSED 2 THE 9'S...YUMMY

KatSkrizzle said:

No, I know what you mean....there are some pictures, like this one, where I don't find him hot...but then others it's like, well...embarrassing! He has a sensuality that shows through to me--it's not the makeup--when I saw him in concert he didn't look like in this picture! That's what I meant about it seems like sometimes he just goes too far, others he looks more natural and really good.....but add that to his music and yeah, the guy's hot! hee hee

I've been pumping him up 2 my friends he's changed! He changed into Michael "ghostly" Jackson!! Who did his make-up.....Grandpa Munster? How could he let this Pic B taken?
I don't know 1 straight guy that uses a nail file, much less uses 1 on a major photo Pic.What is the message? He likes 2 B different.How much revenue would he make if he was normal and plain.He has always been "freaky". He's playing with your head .....and it's working. He still the 'MAN' I think??

I'm not worthy and my Toe nails are slightly chewed

I hope he doesn't come out in drag.Now U finally know why he likes female muscians:boff2:
