I was just thinking the same thing. I know all of them have had children and their bodies have changed since they first began (aren't they all in their late 30s/early 40s now?), but she could fix herself up some.

You know ya'll trynta to do some things in '08 so enlist the help of a trainer to get back in shape. There's no excuse for her appearance. But hell even back in the day you could count on Max to look a mess. Terry really looks good. I don't think she has kids though.

they're all in their early 40's now

Do you know where Tobago is?

It's a West Indies island, but physically it's like a STONE's THROW from South America. You could probably raft it on over there it's so close. You know doggone well folks over in Trinidad be shakin' those hips goin' "Laylo-laylo-lay-LAAAAY!"

But you gotta hear the review of the overall show. Jawn Murray reviewed it on Tom Joyner, and said that Rod, Shakira, and James Ingrahm had the best sets. En Vogue would have engaged the audience more, but people were disappointed because they performed to a track I'ma try to get a link


lookin for the link edit

Maxine's hair looks rough, but Cindy, Terri, and Dawn look as fine as ever.

I've always liked Rhona (the Mickey Mouse Club girl), but nothing beats the originals. This is exciting news!

I was just thinking that the blond hair is NOT a good look

banks said:

What? I didn't know they had broken up. The last news I heard was that they were trying to market a reality show about her comeback and his come-up. There was a preview on youtube and in the clip they were talking about how they were sleeping on a mattress on the floor and how the place they were living had rats.
It was a mess.

Ottensen said:

Also, in those pics on the website Max actually looks preggers or maybe she just dropped a bundle. I dunno, still a hot mess. But the other chicks are definitely "Holding On."

I don’t think Maxine looks that bad but that blonde hair will make a lot of black women look harsh. They may be a little long in tooth now but I’d still take them over PCD and Girlicious and Destiny’s Kids.

I stand corrected: Terry and Cindy are 42, Maxine is 40 or 41, Dawn will turn 40 this year!

Here's what he posted on his my space page during the break up



DAWN ROBINSON’S ESTRANGED HUSBAND PUTS HER ON BLAST! (THIS AIN’T PRETTY)
Former En Vogue star Dawn Robinson’s soon to be ex-husband, Andre Allen, has put her on blast via his Myspace blog.

For those who might not remember Dawn she was the one responsible for destroying En Vogue’s successful run as a group when she suddenly left the group in 1996.

WHY DAWN?????

Any way read Andre’s ANGRY blog entry below…

“First & foremost, I would hardly EVER respond to sh*t talking from anyone but today I make an exception. These two ASS HOLES have gone on a rampage to destroy my name today while no one was even THINKING about them. If you read the blog comments, I was referred to by Dawn’s sister as a transvestite f**king homosexual who beats women & has sex with every woman he meets! Wow…gay but has sex with every woman I meet…LOL…this sh*t is a laugh! Well…since she felt the need to have her sister & a few of her closest friends come over here let me give you all the REAL reason why I left Dawn’s ass!!!

One…she was signed up to porno sites & wanted to swing with other couples…before I got involved with her she admitted to sleeping with 17 men in one month from one swinging site…I GAVE HER THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT & THOUGHT SHE WAS JUST REALLY COMPENSATING FOR ALOT OF INSECURITY! I stayed. THEN…she NAGGED the shit out of me day in & day out because I was always busy & she didn’t know enough about the business to just get her own shit done…NO…she wanted to be a f***ing DIVA & complain about EVERY f***ing thing that I DID set up like she was still BEYONCE! NOBODY was checkin for her ass when I was with her! NOBODY hardly would book shows unless she was in En Vogue…I side busted & got their asses back together but the only ones who knew what they were doing was the other 3 members of the group! THEY were the smart ones!

They knew how to get shit done & book shows but I had to always appease Dawn’s ass & say…”no, you’re right baby…those old tired bitches ain’t nothing without you”…S**T…she is quite literally THE stupidest person I have ever met…I fell out of love with her…I left her…now these IDIOTS are coming to my page trying to destroy my name with my fans??? HOW DARE YOU!!! You don’t want to dance with me! Why? Because I dont give a F**K! Your record is PUBLIC! You got kicked out of En Vogue & they didn’t even want to FACE you because you are the most DIFFICULT person in the world to deal with! They left you sitting at a photo shoot for the last album & didn’t tell you where they were at shooting the EV3 cover without you…remember that???

Raphael Saadiq kicked you out of Lucy Pearl because your attitude jeapordized an operation he worked HARD to get off the ground…and HE didn’t even face you…you found out you got kicked out on the RADIO!! Ask yourself why Dawn…because…you’re a phony, nagging, complaining, two faced, spoiled rotten BITCH!!!!! We haven’t even STARTED talking about your deal with Dr. Dre! What happened there Dawn? He BOOTED you before you even started because he saw your mouth a mile away! You dug this grave for yourself! Now here is a warning…keep my name out of your mouth & keep your friends & family members OFF of my myspace page”

banks said:

Well damn!

They're both a mess.


Here's the reality show clip.

Ottensen said:

You can see Venezuela on a clear day. My family is from there.

The venue in Tobago is relatively new. I have to check it out when I'm there this summer. It must take up half of the island.

SCNDLS said:

I think you are correct about Terri. I don't know if she has ever been married. I know all of the other girls have though. Maybe Terri has been too busy trying to keep the group together.

daPrettyman said:

I heard YEARS ago, when they first came out, that she was a lesbian. She's from Houston and that's been the word for awhile now. And Cindy has FOUR kids and is STILL holding it together. Max gotta come better than that.


BTW, all this En Vogue talk inspired me to download their greatest hits album last night and I've been jamming that all morning. Damn! Them gurls could SANG!!! Folks REALLY need to stop mentioning Destiny's Child, TLC or any other girl group that came after them in the same breath as EV.

Here's what Wikipedia says about their relationship.

sextonseven said:

I went to college with a LOT of folks from Trinidad & Tobago: Y'all are some GORGEOUS people. The level of "beauti-full-ness" there is just insane

sosgemini said:

They really are from Oakland

sosgemini said:

okay...how come Jawn Murray said that they looked like they stopped at the mall to pick up their outfits on the way to the show (layers of wrong!)? They look good post-kids and so on. We just need somebody to talk to Maxine about the blond braids, but they're still pretty

sosgemini said:

Yeah, Maxine looks like she's had it kinda rough; like she's been living in Compton for the last 6 or 7 years - ON the street itself .

But the real question is, are they gonna be relevant now?

I'll take the 2 on the right.

SCNDLS said:

Thank you (as I go look for my scratched up Greatest Hits cd before I go out )

Graycap23 said:

I don't know, dawg - I'd take dawn, too, though. But we'd stop off at the wig shop first.

Well it's about time! What took so long? Really glad to hear that they're back together though. I wonder if they still have "it".

MuthaFunka said:

What's wrong with her Pixie cut? It's cute.

Ottensen said:

In the pic, her shit just looks like it's uncombed.

MuthaFunka said:

She looks worn out.....
