OMG.
What was the exchange about? I recall Rhonda didn't deal with BS and drama sitting down. | |

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. | |

I think you're just trying to bait Ms. Power into posting again, aren't you. | |

I honestly had no idea she was an orger!
My first memory of her was when she was on Joan Rivers doing an interview about Prince's sexual powers or something like that.
But, I didn't realize she was the girl in Graffiti Bridge, mostly because I was trying to block the movie out of my mind.
I started to get an understanding of who she was on all the "prince's exes" threads. | |

Oh Lawd...where were you when this went down ??? It was like the parralel universe to the Tame threads in Music & More. It started off innocently and hilarious. It all became very disturbing as time went on, but it's definitely one of the epic threads of this forum.
ROBIN POWER speaks to fan... here too!

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 think what's really important here, and what we should all take away from this thread is that sleeping with Prince is like sleeping with a woman. | |

Not anymore, I guess she's over him. Her new "king" now is rapper Big Sean lol | |

Oh, really? That's a new development! I guess her infatuation with potential "kings" doesn't last too long... "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

Gurl, how could I forget...don't y'all remember when we started a prayer circle for Robin because of those threads? It got real deep up in here for a minute. .
Rhonda was a stand up sista...I miss CalhounSq too. Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise. | |

You guys were awesome because I could never understand Robin's posts because they went on and on and led down tangents that confused me greatly.
Once I saw the twisted biblical references I would just read Rhonda/Ottensen's responses because Robin's writing style was hard to read. All caps and over emoticon usage and tons of metaphors.
I just didn't have the patience.

Godness
I remember the exchange, but I thought it was because of her pictures. I didn't know it was deeper than that. Just wow. I feel bad for Robin. If what she said was true, I really do pray that she found solace and peace of mind in her life, whether she's living lovely or selling cookies from a suitcase. | |

Reading those threads would wear me out too! This is why I couldn't keep up with Robin's posts.

OK...
I just watched more of her videos on youtube. It does appear that there's a great deal of narcism going on there, and it doesn't appear to be just a general run-of-the-mill type either. It appears she's not 'all there'.
Like this shit here:
It seems inexcusably corny: http://youtu.be/jgDPUFbcF2Q
But, if someone has a narcisistic personality disorder, it then appears more....sad?
I'm going to be honest--I bust out laughing hard at the end when she cocks her eyebrow--it's just...well, corny. | |
