RhondaB would alway leave Robin Power defending herself to exhaustive ends because RhondaB would say "Why can't you represent yourself in a more classy way?"

"Why do you have to shame all us sistas by showing your pussy and tits? You are better than that! Get an education and rise above that mess, WTH is wrong with showing class and not your ass?!"

Well... in a more tactful way ofcourse. I LOVED those Powerbaby threads. OMG!

Powerbaby would just wish her well and say she had faith her "king" would soon come and all that jazz.

Robin was great though, she was open and quite honest and patient despite any nagative feedback.

Miss those threads.

Whoo Chile, them threads left me exhausted! There were so many layers and undercurrents!

The issue that I remember very clearly from Aint RhodaB' s point of view (you know she hated that pronunciation ) was that as a person working with victims of abuse, rape, incest, etc. Robin was strongly exhibiting traits of having either Borderline Personality Disorder or Narcissistic Personality Disorder, and she was concerned about how Robin was "acting out" here. There were those in the threads were enabling and in many cases encouraging what could be considered very unhealthy behaviors from her based on things she revealed about her past and formative years.

At some point in those threads Robin had revealed that she had been kidnapped from her drug addicted mother and raped as a young girl over a period of time, then often she would go off on these insane ramblings about she herself being an angel, being the Holy Spirit coming to save people; it was disturbing. Although it clearly wasn't everyone, you did have a small contingent of people prodding and poking her sexually exhibitionist tendencies for their own amusement, completely callous to the fact that this woman had some deep seeded psychological issues and was clearly not well, along with a blatant P. fanatic or 2 who were licking her butt crack and yes-manning her every post so they could soak up stories about her relationship with Prince (my guess was in an attempt to live vicariously through her experiences and somehow feel closer to him). It was twisted as fuck.

I remember Rhondab and myself intentionally trying to always bring the conversation back to Robin's art, and her comments were always trying to encourage that. I think Rhondab even reached out to Robin via orgnote and possibly some other networking site, but because she stood firm like a rock on trying to affirm Robin in a non-sexualized way, particularly in her refusal to acknowledge her as Powerbaby for all that the moniker suggested about her rape trauma ( which made sense to me), she got blocked and got the cold shoulder from Robin, and the discourse between the two on the threads became tense. Although I'm not a superstitious person who believes in goblins and all, in the early Robin posts there was an orger or two that comes to mind that couldn't have been more than the enemy himself riding shotgun with Robin on the journey into that sideshow of a thread.

....Lord, talking about all these old threads make me miss Rhondab, she was a very conscious woman. But yes, those threads were a trip . They got real dark and complicated

[Edited 7/10/12 8:58am]

I remember some of those threads. I tried to avoid most of them because Robin seemed so disturbed and seem to WANT to continue to act disturbed. One thread she posted some artwork that I thought was pretty good. I thought she had some natural talent in art and I posted that she should continue in THAT direction.... but others continue to discuss her "music" encouraging that.

I never read the thread where she talked aobut her rape trauma. That is sad to hear... and the name "powerbaby"... it sickens me to hear the possible connection to the moniker and rape in her childhood.

Good Lord, can someone get this woman some help. Doesn't she have a child of her own? How old is the child? Is she being cared for properly if she is still a minor? Sadly, history tends to repeat itself.

My hairy bear photoshop concept was far far better.

This was made good by you folks. In some small way, I think this thread is a milestone for the org.

"Making love to Prince was like making love to a woman."

This whole thread literally saved my weekend

I just couldn't help it, I had to check out Robin's Youtube Channel...

I'm....intrigued

Youtube reality show??? So folks out there are now taking their camcorders and recording themselves going to the salon for a pedi/mani, arguing with family etc. and filming themselves then posting on Youtube??? Then calling it a Youtube reality show???

I've seen some celebs do self made reality shows: Nick Cannon's youtube mini show comes to mind as he's been documenting his journey to recover from liver failure and become healthy and 100% functional again. It's actually kinda eye-opening, since that kid really is pretty sick.

Robin's youtube reality show clips seem to be a little um, different: I mean, technically she's highlighting her music, I guess, but they're sorta spay-shul:

Now about these lyrics: I'm still trying to figure out why when some chicks get sexual, they get'ta callin' men "daddy"---I saw that on Love &Hip Hop Atlanta's first episode and was so turned off I haven't revisited the show since. All this "Daddy tell me what'chu want me to do" mess is puzzling to me.

this thread is outrageous

oh lawd

Honestly though, when viewing that video, I see a lonely, isolated, woman who appears to not value how she's portrayed to the world very much. It just looks....sad but funny. Part of me wants to keep it together and be an adult.

...but

But how is she valued and portrayed anyway? I see nothing, so what else is she supposed to do than shave her legs and post a video of that?

Funny story about the whole "daddy" thing...

When I was a younger woman, (a kid really 22) the older "wiser" women at work told me how men loooved to be called daddy by a woman.

To prove the point, we got off the elevator and walked by a hospital policeman. He was TOTALLY professional, businesslike... etc. Politely said to hello to us; The woman with me said hello, said something else (small talk) and then called this man "daddy".

His response was so remarkable. He lit up like a Christmas tree, laughed out loud... LOUDLY. He was like a changed man. And believe me, he knew... we all knew that the conversation was not going anywhere else.

He just LIKED to be called "daddy".

so, I decided to try that on my then boyfriend while we were getting busy. That word sounded so awkward and stupid, that I felt embarrassed and then I burst out laughing hysterically (not a good thing during sex) and it totally ruined the mood. I don't think we even finished because I couldn't stop laughing.

Sorry, but no, Chile. Just no.

No offense to anyone into that, but I'm just not on the "daddy" train when it comes to sex and lovers, shit's too pervy. I have one daddy, and that would be the one who shares my DNA & has married to my mother for the last 47 years, and he is alive and well with no need of replacement, and most certainly not in my bedroom .

I do remember talking to a dude in the 90's, though- and that request came up in casual conversation; Gurl, I told him exactly the same thing I just typed above and that was the end of that. It was a red flag to me then , and after a few more red flags, we didn't last beyond a few weeks. That brotha was fine as summer wine. But, um..no. Just no

In all sincerity though, that mess always reeked to me of men who have inferiority complex/power issues, or were plain sexually deviant (sorry for the more adventurous sexual folks out there, but I consider anything that has an incest undertone as being deviant, even if it's just sex/love talk- that's where I just draw the damn line). Also, I've only typically heard prostitutes say that to pimps, johns, "sponsors" and "benefactors", so my association with that word in sexual context is ne-ga-tive. I wishamofowould think I'm going to call him daddy

I should really check this forum more often.

MODS! Move this to GD STAT! This thread is too big for AA.

So.. she's waiting for usher? lawd

And has anyone seen her purple treasure chest?

If Robin is checkin the org, this is very unfair to be honest. This shit should be moved on a different thread.

I do feel sorry for her.

Yep. I thought I was missing something so I tried it that one time. My boyfriend was silly like Fresh Prince of Belair... so you can imagine. He also laughed... but then he laughed at everything anyway.

Yeah, I felt like it was simulating the whole pimp daddy/bottom b*tch scene.

It felt silly then, and now it is creepy, and ridiculous.

Wow she's ootu of her mind. I don#t understand why she's posting videos of herself while sweepin the floor or doing striptease on the sofa.

I know she put her space up online of her own volition, but given how stalkerish and crazy the occasional P. fan can be...I don't know if it's a good move to just help her along with opening the doors to Crazyville by posting that here, especially given the conversation we've all had here about how complicated her situation seems.

Why?

If I were dating a guy and sleeping with him felt like sleeping with a woman, it would repel me.

I'm married to a man whose largeness and hairiness (and a whole lot of other traditionally masculine traits) sometimes repel me. And to paintedlady, I am talking physically - slim, smooth no whining or chatter entered my thought when it came to me I don't know in what ways Robin was likening him to a lady but I was only imagining the physical. Soft and gentle and slow rather than always rough and hard and fast

Soft and gentle and slow rather than always rough and hard and fast

I got an org note from Robyn and I think that is what she was driving at. She said she liked woman as well as men so she was fine with him.
