Robin Power

I love this chic alot, I was going through the "Graffiti Bridge" movie 2day(don't say shit 2 me tho lol) and I was thinking "damn, its strange when you see a ghetto sistah near Prince" its sound stupid when you speak yo mind about it loud but it does kinda sense(well at least 2 me). And boy that woman looked alot like she's Cat's twin.

N E way,,ya'll got any infos on her??

I haven't watched Graffiti Bridge in a long time, but I remember there was a lot to NOT like about it. One of the things I didn't like was Robin Power's role. She is a physically attractive woman with a beautiful body. Why couldn't she have played "Aura"?

It would have been more believable to have someone say Robin is "three-fine" than to believe that Ingrid Chavez is fine.

"You want me to what?!"

Just to be bitchy, she's probably in some motel room jackin' up as we speak, with her pimp bustin' through the door ready to kick her ass because she spent his cash on crack.

Mia,,I'd LOVE 2 know why do you think that about her? Isn't possible that she changed and became a healthier woman?
Is it hard 2 think about that??

Information?

The last known sighting of her I'm aware of is the Esquire article (Love In the Time Of Magic: A Chronicle of Risk and Romance on the Sidelines of the NBA by E. Jean Carroll - 1992) featuring Power's laughable exploits as a basketball groupie.

Ironically, she comes over very successfully as a dumb ass babe, rather like Carmen, Appolonia, Ingrid (Ingrid???!), Mayte and the list goes on 'n' on,,, add her name to it. And like other dumb ass babes, 10 years on she is nowhere to be seen.

Interesting that Ingrid still makes the news every once in a while through her occasional artistic activities, still records every now and again, still writes and collaborates ... Ingrid is not a dumb ass babe.

How can someone like Ingrid Chavez be considered "dumbass" , maybe Carmen but NOT Ingrid..have you even listened to her album,stuff like that doesn't come from someone who's just a pretty face!!!

Again, it Prince trying to squeeze talented women into the camisoles of Vanity 6.

Ingrid's performance in GB is embarassing.

I neva liked Ingird's ass anyway thats why you see me backing you up.


But wasn't Robin hired to act? If she could act the part of a roughneck couldn't she have also acted the part of the sweet angelic girl?

NO, rofl!!! It's simple casting - Robin is loud, ghetto & eager to shake her ass around, LOL. She was perfect as Morris' woman, but would have had a hard time pulling off a quiet, mysterious, angelic role. PLEEZE!! evillol

And let's not forget, NONE of these people are actors. They really don't have the ability to stray too far from their own experiences. Ingrid fits the profile & did a horrible job herself...

heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

Does anyone else think that Robin's role in 'GB' was probably originally intended for Cat? When Cat left the Prince camp in early 1989,Prince had to quickly find a "replacement".Everything about Robin (her demeanor,her looks,her attitude) seems inspired by Cat.

Anyway,there was talk of Prince producing an entire album for Robin.After hearing her song "Number One" in the movie,I'm glad that these plans were cancelled...lol...

I'm sure that Robin Power was the woman in Ice Cube's video, "It was a Good Day"..Lol..

I always thought that was her..

NBA Goupie?

Yeah that's awful..

At least she was a tall (5'7"- 5'11") woman who was a "Groupie" for tall men.

Somewhere.. At your nearest NBA arena..
There are some petite (4'10"- 5'4") women yelling for these "NeverJordan" Ball players...

These women know that they get neck sprain trying to gaze into these "ballers" eyes..(as well as other parts)

Plus, she's a Groupie who claims so.

I must respect her for being honest.

Some seem to "do and deny" until they melt away...

They'll appear to have these phony career covers like: a) Real Estate Agent, (b) Sports Medicine (c) Working for The Professional Sports Franchises's Promotional Department [PR], (d) and some low -level press and reporters.

Some NBA players' wives won't even admit they slept with another ball player before their current mate.

Their NBA husbands become enraged after the "word" gets back to them.

They begin to understand why their wives were so apprehensive of other women (groupies) most of the time. It is because they know "the game" and how the "real Players" operate.

"Public relations assistant" is one of the most common phony career covers. Another one is "personal assistant."

You're right about NBA wives being apprehensive of other women. That's because the wives know the deal. They know what they did to win their "prize" of a husband, and they know that there is always another woman ready and willing to do the same thing that she did to take her place.

This is true of sports wives or the wives of any famous man.

Yep. It's sad but true...lol

Seriously. A good number of these men supposedly get what they ask for...and then some.
