Will Prince and ballerina live happily ever after?

If Misty Copeland, of American Ballet Theatre fame, is really Prince's new lady, the first thing that I noticed is that she's a baby. This extraordinary beauty does not look anywhere near 30, although Wikipedia claims she's closing in on that age. Now that Symbolina's a devout, door-knocking Jehovah's Witness, surely their relationship is completely chaste. And even if not, the mental imagery of Prince and this Princess is less horrifying than Hugh Hefner and fill-in-the-blank.
Mediatakeout also reports that Prince showed up at Essence's "Black Women in Music" event earlier this month with the sweet young thing, who is now touring with Prince, according to the website.
I don't like to quibble with Mediatakeout, because that urban website's specialty is the naked truth, when they get it right. But if Sheila Escovedo qualifies as a sister, why don't the two ex-wives, Mayte Garcia and Manuela Testolini?
While it's obvious Copeland is "a sister," she is not all that black a swan.
Prince may be getting older, but you have to admit, there has never been anything wrong with his eyesight.
(Personal note to "V.G.," the name signed to a Feb. 3 e-mail with the subject line, "Prince in love": I didn't write it because I don't know you and you got her name seriously wrong.)
