Has anyone noticed there is really only one known picture of P and Carmen Electra?

Prince and Carmen Electra were one of the hottest couples in the early 1990s (before P went with Mayte). Yet I believe there is only one pic of P and Carmen - and I think it's a B&W promo pic for Diamonds and Pearls.

It's the same with when P was with Kim Basinger - there are only two pics of them together, in a restaurant in late 1989/ early 1990.

I thought for being such pop icons, there would have been more pictures of them available. Then again, they are people too, and I guess they just wanted privacy?

paisleylove	True about here not being many photos of Prince with either of these women. One would think there would be more floating around out there (that would have surfaced by now).

lavendardrumma chine	There aren't a ton of him with Ingrid either. I think most of his time with Carmen was indoors.

Well…there is an entire MOVIE of him and Ingrid.

Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/

There's also a group of photos from one awkwardly staged shoot in the PP lobby (I believe), and not much else I can find. Given that she was an influence on 2-4 records and a movie, while working with him for like 5 years.... it's odd.

In what sense? Nobody gave a shit about Carmen until long after she was done with Prince.

He wasn’t in a relationship with Ingrid. Big difference. But it’s true; there aren’t. I guess some things were just kept inside PP for the most part.
There’s video that is very vague of Pei CE watching Kim Basinger during Batman rehearsals. He’s sort of almost half hiding behind a wall and is out of view of the camera that caught the footage. I think he wanted his ladies to shine. He knew that people would focus on him instead of or in addition to them if they were always seen with him. Then after they broke up, they would maybe be known more for their past with him. I don’t think he wanted that.

Carmen told us that he said he didn’t want people to know she was his girlfriend because he wanted her to be taken seriously for her own talent.

I don't know the nature of Ingrid's relationship with Prince, honestly. She lived at Paisley Park, they had some kind of intimacy whether or not it was physical, and they collaborated. Close enough for me!
