Yeah who cares if the photos are touched up. I bet most of you if you had the money would have your photos touched up. I think he looks very down and not at all relaxed, but other than that he looks great.

[i]"OK, I don’t know how I missed this one but I did and it was doozy by me.

When we obtained/recieved these photos, I clearly missed this one. Not going to go into reasons why but I missed it and it is my mistake.

So here is a shot of Prince, up close and personal. We are happy to share it here first like the others, before anywhere else. Looking forward to Leno next week.-Dr.FB"


Edit:
(I had to downsize the pic because it comes out extremely large when you copy it from DrFB's site)

What an exquisette portrait.

I cannot even see any brush strokes.

Anyone know who painted it??

You don't like his sides shaved? It looks a bit photoshopped. I like the one with him sitting in the car in the other pics.

The hair is not the problem. Something is off about the pose.

I can understand why he does it though. Everyone is airbrushed now, in magazines, in practially everything you see, so if you didn't join in you'd look 10 x's worse than everyone else!! lol But, it's just not reality.

-----
What are some of you on? Who would take a pic now a days looking fucked up and busted. The idea is to look good and present yourself in the most positive light.

I would like to see what some of you hags are going to look like when you are 50?

The obvious photoshopping-airbrushing-whatever only calls more attention to the 'problems' Prince seems concerned about, like under his eyes and his cheek/jowl area. Its like somebody just used the soften or smudge tool without making any effort to be discreet. The skin of his cheeks and undereyes has this weird blurry quality, yet other sections of his face and his neck appear to actually have pores and texture.


Why does everyone assume Prince told someone to airbrush him? Maybe the people who took the picture presumed thats what one should do before disseminating it to the public, insofar as thats what 90% of the publicity photos anyone sees have been through? Its not like Prince hasn't authorized the release of unflattering (non-photoshopped) photos of him in the last 10 years.

Just a question.



If Prince (or anybody, for that matter) wants to retouch a photo to be more flattering, well...it's my opinion that that isn't always really necessary but that's their business, not mine.

What I DO think is that if somebody is going to bother to retouch a photo to be more flattering, they should do that: i.e. make the photo more flattering, not UNREALISTIC and poorly done.

shrug Just my opinion.

No doubt about that.

This doesn't clear up the wig controversy for me, though.
He could just have a buzz cut with a toupee stuck on.


I doubt that. I just think all these ridiculous rumors about his hair are based on the fact that some folks are just not familiar with his hair type/texture, so they assume all kinds of nonsense.

Hi 2Elijah hug!

You took the words right out of my mouth. When I read all the comments from people who said he had a wig or that they stood behind him and his hair was thin in spots or balding, I thought they were coming from people who had no clue about hair textures like Prince's. I remember folks saying that it was impossible to process one's hair for decades and not be bald at 50. It was hilarious to me because it was another reminder of how little some know about others. Prince's have has NEVER looked fake to me. shake lol

Aside from the snoop dog pony tails, Prince has never had a bad hair day IMO. I generally like all the styles he's rocked over the decades, from the fro to this over gelled thin on the sides look.

Hi Bella! wave

I agree with you. Perms have been used in Black textured hair types for years, and the hair types vary extremely with black hair. If perming hair for years makes one bald, then we would see a whole bunch of bald folks walking around. lol Hair falling out from a perm can really only happen if it is not permed right or overprocessed, not to mention it could also be due to lack of follow-up hair care like conditioning and moisturizing. Everyone has a different hair type and it all depends on what products you use that works well with your type hair, and what products will keep the hair healthy and manageable.

The products for non-white hair types have improved over the years, with good conditioners and moisturizers as part of the ingredients in some perms now, and the multitude of conditioners/moisturizers available now for black hair types, Just like Desireenevermind mentioned how he had may have had the sides of his hair gelled in the previous pic, which some thought gave the appearance of baldness, but given the image posted here, his sides were shaved down and may have applied some gel or not, to his hairline, which gel is another product used by many with short hair near the hairline to keep the hair in that area in place.

Wow. I don't know who JDavey is, but she is really pretty and she is runnin' that hair cut. However, of course, Prince is just "friendly" with her because she is not his "butterscotch curly haired" or "Latina barbie doll" type. shake

For someone so talented, Prince can really be lame in some aspects. This whole publicity contrived "things heating up between the singers" crap is so tired. If he and Bria are together then they are together, why create the fake buzz/interest. Beyond some on this site, who really cares who Prince is sleeping with these days? Really, at a certain point isn't it really just the same chick with a different name and outfit?
