It looks like Prince decided to throw all his early looks together, minus the raincoat.

Afro from For You, 1999 pouty moustache, Purple Rain glasses, a little animal print from the Dirty Mind period...

Is Prince's neck really that skinny or is it one of those photoshopping mistakes that seems to happen all the time. I'm guessing the latter.

Is it just me, or is there also something wrong with the way the guitar strap looks at the top of his shoulder? It looks like that was Photoshopped as well, but lord knows why.

It looks like his head is a couple of inches left of his body so the strap is in the wrong place too. lol

They should kick the crap out of the Photoshop inventor.

Definitely photoshopped and squeezed too thin like an image in a fun house mirror... razz lol

I don't even remember the last time I've bought a copy of Essence magazine and I would have happily bought this one but...

With all the photoshop on it, no one thought THAT was making Prince look rather... eek -ish?

disbelief

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

The afro in the back is much longer on his left than it is on his right side.

Actually he looks like he is impersonating Andy Allo, wonder if she dressed him?

Is the actual article any good?

Are you being serious with all these fucking comments? Do you have a life? Are you seriously over-analyzing every single detail in that cover? And the neck is too thin, and the guitar is photoshopped, the back of his afro is bigger on one side...

I wish Prince had the time to sit through all your photos and talk shit about how your hair looks stupid in your passport photo...

Give it a rest...

There was once a time when I cared about Prince's magazine appearances, especially a cover, not so much anymore. Just give me the music.

His face and that cover is all circles. He looks funny with that afro. It looks like one of the picture books my 3 year old reads where he has to count all the circles. There are even cirlces reflected in the lenses. If you count the "o's" in the type, how many circles can you find?

Is Essence an American magazine? Pictures inside the magazine (saw them on facebook) look much better than the cover shot.
