Has anyone noticed that Prince's skin has gotten lighter over the years?

No disrepect to the Prince, though. He's still fine as hell.

He looks a little lighter than he has in previous years. Look at his CD covers throughout the years, and it looks like his skin has gotten lighter. His pictures look like that and so does he in person.

It's called make-up and believe me he wears plenty of it!! In older photo's he didn't wear as much so therefore he appears darker, but the last 15 years he wears a lot of it.

Light, dark, whatever - he's still lights me on fire

Actually a Prince Cigarette lighter was the first thing that came to mind when I saw the topic "lighter". Then I thought it might be a post about Prince losing weight.

Damn...it's true...If U look at the "for you" cover..compared 2 now...he's almost like Flo, as in rescent!

prince looked sudenly alll tan and healthy in the alphabet street video... I remember we all noticed it.

got me!

He's darker now than he's been in years.

I did notice during ATWIAD/PARADE he seemed lighter--this must have been the inspiration MJ needed to basically outdue Jocylne Wildenstein, but during SOTT he seemed chocolately caramel again.
Now in Graffiti Bridge, our boy was scary light--the "New Power Generation" maxi-single with his picture on it, I swear he was ghostly white--completely a few shades lighter than during Contreversy/19999--It didn't even look like the same person.

But lately it seems, he's darkenned again.

The difference between Prince and what Lil Kim and MJ have done is that Prince was always a little light for a black guy, and his color (except during LoveSexy/GB days) remained in a spectrum that was recognizably ethnic.

But that's not important right now. Has anybody ever noticed in his camel toe pix, that in some of them he seems small or average, and on some of them you'd think he was John Holmes?

Hmmm....

Prince has obviously had some work done.

Oh well, he still looks hot!

No, Digital picture quality, mega pixel lazer printing and high resolution TV...

Maybe it's the lighting. Well, he does look "brown" on the PRINCE album.

Can you post those pix? I've never seen them.

maybe he has been busy in the studio and not been out in the sun much

Agree 100%

If you look at my pic from 10 years ago I was 7 shades darker than now. I use to stay out in the sun, but now that I'm older I avoid the sun or wear spf 25. Then everybody thought I was a black mix, but now people think I'm Asian mix.

Much Love,

Surely not lighter than the wit of the person posting this thread, hun.

..talk about ignorance...what makes some of you think that all black ppl are the same color?
History if you will....remember what happened in America and other parts of the world hundreds of years ago...or did you forget? Who said all black ppl are the same shade? We are the rainbow children and do not need to explain why one black person is lighter than the other...did you see the documentary "The Real Eve" on the Discovery Channel...that will explain a little part of the complexion situation when it comes to Black People all over the world...you are all a part of us..... .....Peace.
