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

Up close and Photoshopped.

It looks like he had his hair cut (shaved down) on the sides. New hairdo(cut) I suppose.

Sorry but as he has his own site now-surely new pics would/should go there first unless he see's funkenberrys site as more vital to the cause. intaresting.....

Nothing to be sorry about. I guess Dr. FB gets the news out quicker and because it is easier to access and there is no membership involved, so anyone can click on his site and get info. I think the lotusflow3r site is specifically for concert info/tkts for members and whatever extras they decide to put on there in the future. Either way if fans didn't get any info at all then they would really complain. Dr.FB is like an express Prince info service.

well id say one more thing-i bet it hasn't been photo shopped.....AS i bet alot of the 21 nights pix were not as retouched as some think. I stood right next to him in decent light for about thirty seconds in the Indigo-right next to him on my level-not up on stage-and the guys skin though made up was flawless. I'd say its something called sheer-cover according to my mrs. She swears by it-and swears Prince does too. He dont smoke-drink-is a vegan-he bloody should look good

i hate that pic of him.

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.

even his lips are wrinkle-free!

at least he gets greasy ears like the rest of us mere mortals.

Marrk said:

Now you downsized it, it doesn't look so bad, but still... fake.

quoting myself? oh dear.

Oh okay. I see what you mean.

As far as the haircut, I remember the shaved sides hairdo from back in the 90s. I've been seeing some folks trying to bring that back out here on the East Coast, it's a unisex cut, so maybe P is rocking this new 'do and bringing it back. Looks nice when it's with a short cut. Reminds me of the days Halle and Toni Braxton were rocking the short cuts and basically started a short haircut trend.

My niece has her hair cut in a style like that and she gets so many compliments from people and it looks beautiful on her. She could be Prince's little sister as they are the same exact complexion and she has black hair with the same type of haircut. Only her sides are not shaved, but she has it cut in short full curls on top with bangs, and the sides trimmed nicely, and then a nice, v cut in the back a curl tail at the very bottom center of it. We shall see when P performs on Leno if he is rocking a new 'do.

It has definitely been photoshopped, no one is THAT blemish free, they're just not. I saw him very close up too, in the main arena with strong lights and at Indigo2 and he looks great and yes, he's wonderful... but his skin is NOT as flawless as that. Sorry, but it's just the truth.

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!! But, it's just not reality.

Vendetta1 said:

it looks like a myspace profile pic pose. you know, "i'll do an extreme close-up on my good side and crop out the jankity bits." and we all know prince is more photogenic than all that. what's really going on here?

every time i think prince has gone and lost his damn mind, he tightens the buckles on that purple straitjacket just a little more.

Anxiety said:

You just used "jankity".

I think the photo is to shut up critics: oh, Prince's eyes look old, oh Prince is not aging well...etc. But all it is doing is getting people to say more negative stuff.

Anxiety said:

He's an egomaniac, trying to convince us he still looks 20 at 50.

I don't like this brand of candy anyway!

Vendetta1 said:

he NEEDS to be putting all that damage control energy into all the information that's been surfacing from the loose lips committee in recent weeks and quit taking web cam pics because we all know he can clean up real nice when he wants to, he's not educating anyone on that point because we're already well aware.

and are we supposed to believe that pic of bria is a candid paparazzi shot? i mean...REALLY?

Anxiety said:

Did someone really say that? Do people think Prince fans are stupid?

Jeffiner said:

it would be just fine to say that prince had the pics taken for fun on his trip in paris and sent them to a devoted gossip blog to one-up the paps. that would be playful and at least somewhat more honest than what he's trying to make us believe.

Makeup looks so cakey

Anxiety said:

I agree about cleaning up all that out-of-control information/rumors that's been surfacing/leaking around this forum, and the associated artists forum from the loose lips committee lately. It's becoming a mess around here. If any of those rumors are true that some of the folks around him are leaking this info, then he needs to clean house and do some spring cleaning. Especially if these folks signed confidentiality agreements.

Vendetta1 said:

i'm sure dr. fb just posted what he was told to post in order to have the privilege of putting up exclusive prince pics on his site, but yes. i think we're meant to believe that these are actual candid paparazzi pics.

Anxiety said:

Yes we are. Prince thinks his fans are stupid or 'haters'. Doesn't seem to realise he is the root of the problems he perceives himself to have.

he keeps feeding folks who have a modicum of sense with ammo. He's hilarious and tragically sad in his vanity.

Anxiety said:

When is Prince going to act his age and not his shoe size?

And those rumors: if they are so true, why hasn't the bodyguard been fired? why is Bria still "with" him?

Vendetta1 said:

who knows. maybe he hasn't seen or heard about the shitstorm happening around here? maybe the loose lips committee have been working their own 'damage control' plan and the bossman has been cleverly kept in the dark? maybe he's in denial because he doesn't want to believe these people are screwing him over, and after all the interwebs is just full of lies anyway? who knows.

Prince's hair looks very nice...I like the short sides.

Well, at least I know it's not a wig now.

Anxiety said:

I'm completely in the dark here, can someone give me a link to what you're talking about...?! Ok, I admit I haven't been keeping up...
