Someone started a thread over at Housequake asking why Prince's skin color changes all the time. I have noticed he tends to look lighter/darker at times...he looked really pale around 1994 but then in 2000 he looked much darker. Which this could be attributed to lots of factors, where he is in the world, diet, ect I guess, his overall health but do you ever think Prince actually made a concious effort to go tanning like in a tanning bed? (OMG sorry that image is so hot!)

I dunno, but speaking of tanning.....LOL

A couple weeks ago b4 bed my husband asked me if I had any hand cream cuz his hands were really dry. I was like yeah honey.....get that yellow vaseline bottle and put A LOT of it on, and use it every nite, it works really good.

Well he calls me from work the next morning yelling, I'm gonna f'in kill you. His hands were ORANGE they looked soooo funny.....I told him to use my self tanning lotion. I thought it would take a couple nites to work, but Man, was I wrong!

This is hilarious. I've never noticed a difference in his color.

he wears alot of makeup...i think the cover of the album "Prince" is probably the closest we get to seeing prince's skin tone reasonably natural

Since he is so light, I would suspect he would tan, but I doubt you're ever gonna catch him basking in the sun the way he takes care of his skin.

No he doesn't have to tan. I'm black and In the summer time I just get darker from the sun rays. Black people normally don't tan. Especially light skinned people. Prince is the greatest artist of all time. Go buy 3121. It's on fire Baby !!

Couldn't it just be differences in lighting?

Awesome.

omg PEOPLE! it's called differences in lighting and technology over the years. it's called black people naturally tan and lighten depending upon the season. it's called back in the 80's there never was any make-up that was made for negroes.

Everyone naturally tans and lightens depending on the amount of sun exposure they get.

uh-huh. u clearly missed that point. 'preciate ya getting that across, again.

Prince looks very tan in the alphabet st video.... then ghost white in I wish U Heaven and Grafilthy Bridge.

He tans. If you get darker in the sun that's tanning. If your burn and peel off red skin back to white skin that's a redhead or plat blonde....

what? Getting darker = tanning. Or do you mean consciously tanning?

Ok so am I the only one that thinks an image of Prince all greased up with tanning lotion lying completely naked in a tanning bed is like..the hottest image ever????? Really I am NOT trying to be funny! That is so hot!!!

Then again watching him lift weights all hot and sweaty would be sexy too.
