If he was coloring his hair his whole (public) life, it might never have had a chance to turn gray (be often straightened his hair so it wouldn't surprise me if he colored it too). In that second pic I posted above, that super-jet-black color is clearly not a natural tone. (I'm sort of in that boat myself -- I started coloring my hair beore i really had any gray; now i have some but I'm not even sure how much exactly, because i've never let it grow out!)

Jaybus H. Kripes...Prince wore makeup and heels everyday for the past million years and people are reckoning he might have been averse to hair dye.
I don't know how the 'thing' against men dyeing hair seems to have persisted over generations as something shameful but it really has.
I last remember this coming up when with a bunch of women and two of them were going on about how gorgeous they found some guy but then frowned and said 'But he dyes his hair'.

I was laughing and they wondered why and it just made me laugh even more because there they were looking like Barbie dolls, caked and makeup and with bizarre highlights in their hair and were dismissing a guy they liked on that basis.

Now some will say 'Well there y'go...can't get laid if they find out you dyed you hair'

And I'll say 'Fine. I'm goin' to the NEXT house'

Y'know...you can dye those, too.

I've often theorized that he started wearing that enormous "breast plate" necklace and closed necklines around the time his chest hair became noticeably gray. He probably didn't want to take the dye job that far.

Looking at Google Earth, there was never an outdoor pool at Paisley at least. But several books refer to a pool at Prince's custom house he had built in 1986 and that was demolished in 2004.

.

Prince's house was not far from the studio, this building fits the description facing Lake Ann, off the road with an ovoid driving circle

.

Paisley Park is shown if you turn on the 3d mode and this is indicated by me (I spelled it Paisley Parks by mistake)

[img:$uid]http://i1081.ph.../img:$uid]

.

This photo is dated March 12 2016 - so about 6 weeks before he passed on.

If you use the clock, it shows way back photos. The oldest is 1991 and grainy black and white, a house can be made out with pool and Paisley park is missing the egg. The next is 2002 and shows it more clearly in colour. The best view is 2003

[img:$uid]http://i1081.ph.../img:$uid]

.

My peg is in the same place as the later shot and you can clearly see a pool to the right of it, kidney shaped like in the still from Gangster Glam. Left is a house and to the north is a tennis court.

.

This is almost certainly the house, Prince built in 1986 after he gave the Kiowa trail purple house to his dad.

.

The still shows low bushes around the pool and these are visible in 2003 as being taller and bushier at right and maintained at left. Remember between the 1991 photo and the 2003 image, there was 12 years of growth, alos open grass stretches north of the pool in both shots. If the shot is facing north, the low sun is coming from the west or northwest indicating a summer late afternoon. It is only that green in MPLS between May - Sep and warm enough to swin June to Sep, so this is probably July/Aug when he was filming and promoting the gett off maxi single.

.

Later on the wayback thing, shows the buildings hidden in 2004, there in later 04 and gone by 06. The tennis court remains and the building site grows over.

.

I think Prince had a pool at home and it was used in gangster glam, hopefully this will convince you.

UMM....what pool? What house? What map? All I see is DAT FINE AZZ!

Prince's nose doesn't look any different to me. I don't think he had a nose job. But, he did have his wisdom teeth removed in 1999/2000.

Yes, Prince dyed his hair. No, he never had a nose job or anything done to his face, nor did he wear a hairpiece & his Fro was au naturel. He was beautiful.

I think he was wearing hair replacement pieces, very good ones for the most part. I wonder about a nose job because of the photo of him and Andy Allo where the left side of his nose looks pinched. Maybe I can find the photo. I don't know how to insert a photo, but Prince is holding Andy's elbow and his nose is pinched. This is also great evidence of a hairpiece, imo.

Here's the pic (I think?) you are referencing paisleypearl:



(First time.....yeah, it worked!)

I think he looks really happy.....genuinely happy! But, I also sense some shyness in his smile. You think he has a hairpiece here? There is a lot of "height".

paisleypearl said:

Well on the basis of evidence presented here for hairpieces, I'd like to state that I've often thought Prince might be six feet tall.
I mean if you look at some photos shot from low angles it's obvious.

Based on?

.

I don't understand where people get the idea that Prince ever wore a hairpiece. His hair was all natural. His Fro was natural. He had a head full of hair, so no there's need for a hairpiece. That picture above looks like his hair was straigtened with a flat-iron. Black people's hair is naturally kinky, and when they press it out, the hair appears longer. Watch a demo on YT of a person with curly/kinky hair before and after they use a flat iron, and you will get what I'm saying.

The ME said he was 5'3". Did he bend his knees at the autopsy?

I think he did have his nose done - compare his teenaged nose and his 50+ nose.

Definitely had the wisdom teeth removed - hollowed-out cheeks look.

Botox? Fillers? His face was very expressive. Don't know.

Hair dyed? Yes. Probably.

You are right. Prince was 6 feet in reality but wanted the public to think he was 5"3. Why? Only Prince knows. There's ample evidence that Prince was really 6 feet tall, sometimes he would be bending at the knees in his pants but you couldn't tell as they would appear straight as if he was standing up. There's old org threads discussing his real height and why he hid it. . [Edited 11/10/16 11:37am]

What?! Prince was six feet tall? You must be joking!!

Everyone's facial features change as they get older. Prince never had any plastic surgery. He was beautiful just the way God made him.

Prince in 1979, at age 21:

Prince in 2016, at age 57:

Looks like the same nose to me!! You have to understand that different lighting, camera angles & makeup will make anyone's facial features look different. You can even see his hairline is identical to as it was in 1979. His bone structure, eyes/eyebrows/chin & lips show no alterations. He was just a natural beauty!!

.

Everyone's features change slightly with age, as well as with weight loss and weight gain.
