She turned 25! That's the cut off age. Lawd.

Next question!

good to have you back imago! I think someone else answered in an old thread asking the same question: Prince completed sufficient funding for Gamillah Inc. Since we're on the topic of Manuela, I was reading through some ancient threads recently, and there was one in which someone posted that Manuela replied to someone on FB that "3121" was written while they had a home at 3121 Antelo Place, Bel Air, Los Angeles, and that parts of the 3121 movie were shot there (so, while they were married). That comedian on the Jimmy Kimmel show mentioned that he had been to Prince's house in Bel Air, so it seems he really did have a house in Bel Air before 2005/6. You can look up the address and you can get real estate info plus staged photos of the property. It's worth about $11 million now, 4 bedroom, 7 bath, pool, palm trees, really swanky. Totally unrelated, I also found that Prince donated $250,000 to American Ballet Theater (Misty's company) in Feb 2011. http://nymag.com/arts/cla...ndex1.html

Looks kinda like the Reflection Room, don't it?

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I never saw the Reflection Room on the website.

I did see that video with the girl running to the studio - "A Million Days"? And this photo of the property reminds me of it:

I'm also seeing a site that says the property is worth about $5 million, and that it was sold to someone in 1995, and then in 2003.

mynameisnotsus an	Actually, I did wonder what happened to them - usually there's some kind of 'a source close to the couple reported blah blah blah' but there was really nothing. Pretty impressive lockdown on his real personal business.

Slight subject change. Was it not Manuela who sort of ran things at NPGMC? That went tits up not long before/after/whatever they split.

Actually...they pulled the plug on the site about a week before the news of their split hit the papers. I've always theorized that Prince shut it down because he did not care to see people commenting on his failed marriage in U Smell Us. shrug

Perhaps Mani slapped a Cease and Desist order on Prince since it was her "baby" and she didn't want to see him run it into the ground, protecting her intellectual property?

This is interesting. I doubt she pulled the plug, but it is interesting that the site was tied to their relationship and went down when they demised. It's too bad. I wasn't a big fan of the club, but the music store aspect was awesome. That public part of the site was super easy to use, prices were quite reasonable, and the music got good especially toward the end. When the Batsclan single came out, I was so psyched that the whole concert might be released. But then the site closed. Argh! I'm still waiting for a really good live album.

makes sense..

I always thought the song 'Love' was written from Prince to his harecore fan base. It seems almost tailor made for disgruntled Org fans. IMO

"Talking rebound, born of despair"

I've met people who had a rebound boy/girlfriend before, but Mani was a rebound marriage lol.

In the none of my business department, the writing is on the wall time line wise:

1979-1992 Prince is a huge player and get a lot of ass. Often times people who have a lot of lovers don't have a serious emotional connection with any ONE of the people they've been with, however, when they fall in love, they tend to fall REALLY hard....

1993-1995: Prince gets a little older, and sees Mayte as a life partner, he really wants to start a family and live as a husband/father. Given his own terrible upbringing, Prince wants to be there for his wife/kid 100% and give them the type of love he never felt. Marriage and pregnancy follow.

1996-1997 With the death of his child Prince and Mayte grow apart. What was supposed to be an emotional cornerstone for Prince's life is completely gone, he a Mayte divorce. Prince is LOST he doesn't know what he's doing or where he's going.

1998-99 Prince hooks up with aging funkster/zany cult member Larry Graham. All of LG's spiritual mumbo jumbo makes sense to someone with a giant gaping hole in their heart. Prince becomes a hardcore JW. While religion has always interested Prince, this conversion has had little to do with spirituality and everything to do with finding something to fill the void left over

2000-2001 Wanting to further follow the JW doctrine/ keep trying to get away from his failed marrage/ father role, Prince marries the first Latina Barbie Doll JW he can find (mani).

2002-2006 Given that Prince mainly married her to stop thinking about his previous wife, Their marrage lasts about as long as a good pet hamster. They divorce.

2007-2010 Prince travels the world performing shows and banging his twin back up dancers (it's a tough life, but SOMEONE has to do it)

2011-2012 Prince meets Andy Allo and decides he's going to start dating people 1/3 of his age instead of 1/2 his age

These are the broad strokes, but pretty accurate. Although 'Call My Name' is a great and under rated track IMO, Mani was just a "rebound born of despair"

It ain't too hard to JAM.

This pretty much gives a interesting look at some obvious things that did go wrong...DAMN!

What a life!

It's Button Therapy, Baby!

I read in an Aussie magazine (New Idea or Woman's Day) in an interview with the twinz that even their own BROTHER asked if those rumours were true, and the girls were like "EEWWWWW he's OLD!" hahahahahaha - have you heard them talk? They are like a pair of kids.

I'm the mistake you wanna make
