I don't understand people...

OK if this was accidental wouldn't you take another photo? And why in the hell would you post it to Instagram? The comment attached to the photo was "I think we would have been friends". :roll:

Yes, I don't get it either. Why spend that amount of money to see PP which is Prince's home and then do something like this? Or jump up on his piano? Or show your 'Symbol' tatoos in an unflattering way? This was P's home, people! Show some damn decorum already!! When I am there in May if someone does something like this I am going to go off on them......

Somebody will alert them to what is going on. They need to watch people better but this chick could have done the same thing with Photoshop. It tells us a lot about her not Prince.

I don't get it at all. I like checking Instagram for photos tagged with PP location. Most of them are respectful and it's just cool to see so many different people posing for photos with him. But every now and then I come across crap like this. I don't know if these people think they're being funny? They're not.

It makes me sad and angry to see people act like this in his home. If you can't show some decency and respect then stay home. It never stops.

Everybody claims ownership in some way to prince. He has had disrespectful fans throughout his career even some here on the org. Fighting at PP would be about as bad as this pic intentional or not.

there are dilletante fans amongst any celeb I think, ones who just see a lot of humor in whatever they do. They all get it pretty bad, Elvis gets it horribly from his so called fans, but, I can't think of anyone ever going to graceland with that kind of attitude, i'm sure it's happened but most of the footage I see of people visiting graceland shows people crying and somber. It's the half ass fans that act like this lady, there are going to be a lot of those with any celeb. Besides, is that a pic from PP, i thought i read on here that no pics were to be taken at PP.

Weird. No cameras/phones are allowed so not sure how she would have been able to take this picture inside PP. I don't remember those wrist bands either from our tour, but they could be new, or maybe its for the dance party or movie night thing?? Or maybe she is an employee?? Which would be even stupider on her part. Or its photoshopped.

It's not inside Paisley Park. It's inside the outdoor tent which is now where people can take photos next to the large photos of Prince.

Ok maybe I'm imagining things but it sure looks like she positioned herself in a way to make it appear that Prince was looking down her shirt. Disgusting.

Reminds me of that elementary school adage, "You can pick your friends and you can pick your nose but you can't pick your friends nose."

Prince would be horrified by all of this nonsense. It makes Paisley Park look like a funhouse and not the serious and beautiful home and studio of maybe one of our last real genuis musicians. confused

I'm not sure what they do about it. The majority of photos I see on Instagram are perfectly fine and I'm sure a lovely memory for people who go there. I would hate for a few bad apples to ruin that experience.

IKR They post them here and give them shine. If they're so offended (which is silly in the first place) why give the so called offender such a larger platfom?

Since I blacked out the person's name I'm not sure what platform I'm giving her. If this is too silly in the first place I'm sure no orgers will be looking her up on Instagram. wink

You have to be pretty insecure if you're going to criticize another person's looks.

Hi rogifan. With respect, I think that this constant admonishment of people visiting PP is a little excessive. I agree, it’s an unfortunate photograph and personally I wouldn’t have posted it, but to me the “rolleyes” at the end suggests that it wasn’t intentional, rather like an acknowledgement of her own haplessness - as though she is saying: “One of the few opportunities to take a photo, and look what happens.”. We don’t know the circumstances under which the photograph was taken, whether they only had the opportunity to take one by each image, were quickly shuffled along and so on. We can question the wisdom of posting it online, but who is going to go to the expense of travelling to Chanhassen and pay admittance to PP and then deliberately ridicule Prince? The idea that the second image was manufactured to look as though he was “looking down her shirt” strikes me as absurd. Of course, I could be wrong.

I agree that the way in which some conduct themselves is tacky, but equally I don’t think that PP should be treated like a mausoleum. Yes, he was living there in the end, but first and foremost it was a professional creative complex, a vibrant place. I’d like the opportunity to visit at some point, but above all I'd like to see PP become a functioning studio again, a place where artists can continue to create original work. That would be the greatest testament to Prince in my view.

I would hate for somebody to be disrespectful to Prince anywhere, let alone in his house. But this kind of bullying attitude is hardly in keeping with the spirit of love4oneanother is it?

The first photo, who knows if it was deliberate but not knowing either way one should give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she uploaded it because it meant a lot to her nonetheless and she wasn't able to retake it.

The second photo I doubt was taken to make it look like Prince was looking down her shirt; it looks to me like she was trying to adopt a contemplative pose as Prince has in the image shown.

I have to say, if this place is going downhill then bullying is without doubt a contributing factor.

Stop equating the dispicable phenomena of bulling to basic criticism here on a prince website. Please get some perspective yall.

I have to say that with his death it has brought aboard a large amount of people now who are basically used to soemthing very different in the world

Calling somebody pizza-face is bullying. Insulting somebody's looks is not basic criticism anyway you look at it.
