Why ?

If anyone has seen the Prince Pop up video ''Kiss'' on Vh1
Does anyone know if the pop up in the video that said:
the girl in the video said Prince made her wear the black veil over her head because he said she was not attractive enoughand after the video was over he sent the director the same veil( I am assuming he was mocking her because he didn't think she was attractive either)
As well as terminated the Makeup Artist's services because he said he already look good.

Was true and accurate ?????

If anyone has proof it wasn't please inform me and post it because I am absolutely disgusted by this and I have been feeling like a fool ever since I became a fan only a few years ago (2005) with his behavior towards fans and people around him I swear this is the last straw
This information of his actions is not only disrepectful, but just plain evil....I know this was a long time ago, but trust me from my first concert seeing him he hasn't changed much
his music was cool from back in the old days,(I mean I like plenty of it) but less than mediocre these days (planet earth)

Veteran fans please help me out here,
Do you really think his actions can be justified ?????

absolutely. he was raised in a society and industry that placed great value on the quality of a persons physical appearance, just like the rest of us.

whether its ethically right or wrong is obvious, but it doesnt make him evil for believing in the importance of physical beauty, especially in video clips. it could also have been a business decision.

if he confuses physical beauty with soul, i'd suggest its because the media-system itself is confused.

confusion is not the same as evil. evil is when you do the wrong thing knowingly. confusion is when you dont know any better.

in my opinion.

i aint got any proof, but I have never heard that story before and I would safely say it is BS, I would actually say it is one of the most comical things i have ever heard. If it were to be the case, most of his bands would have worn such things, so i reckon it is simply modern day nonsense
If it were not for insanity, I would be sane.

Attractive people do make for better appearances for the entertainment world. That does not in any way discredit the heart and soul of everyone.

I doesn't matter who came up with the idea or why. All I know is that if she's wasn't wearing the veil, the video wouldn't be the same. Nor would it be as iconic as it is.

It was a great idea, and it made the video!!!

I hate 2 admit it, but it is probably true. Pop-Up video interviews people that work on the sets of these videos and they tell them stories of what happened.

If Prince thinks that he is ugly then he needs to take another look in that mirror. All I see is pure 100% sexiness all over. love
