You ain't right. No Brotha MF, you be sure to have her stop by Fing Lee Shop at the Swap Meet. Oops my bag, Sistagirl has already been there.

Well HELLO, by today's pop standards they're all as old as Methuselum . En Vogue, though bringing a new era of glamour to modern girl groups , were infamous for also being part of an older music business model where they didn't make a lot of money for themselves and had little negotiatiing power at the business table. When they folded it was a different time, it's not as if they were able to keep up a red carpet beauty regiment via expense account. Cindy did the old skool thing of "marrying change", but I don't imagine everyone in the group had access to spas treatment and ELLE-level hair & make-up artists in the past decade...

MuthaFunka said:

With the plethora of young non singing pop tart out there, I don't think so. My girls should've buried the damn hatchet when they were in their prime. The current industry trend is not on girl groups now sad to say.

Ottensen said:

Come on now, Ottie. You don't have to have a red carpet beauty regiment OR tons of $$$ to look decent. Max looks rough, plain and simple.

Make it last for a minute or two.

SCNDLS said:

...Max does have the crow's feet-laugh-line thing happening, 'tis true. But honestly, where I was chiming in was the comment about Dawn; her hair is shorn so short and is in a pixie/gamine style that we can't even see closely (you KNOW how we check folks' roots and kitchens here). From what I see in that pic, I dont understand how or why her short hair looks the equivilent of uncombed and needing to stop at a wig store (MUTHAFUNKA & GRAYCAP ).I'm hardly predjudiced against weaves or wigs, but I also think a lot of women of color look beautiful rocking short cuts just as well. UUUUrybody ain't got to be weavalicious in the '08, and I would venture that Dawn needs some blotting powder in that photo before she would need a wig...

And you MO' wrong for that one!

Oh c'mon! How much does a fuckin' hot comb cost?!

They have enough hits to tour the r&b summer festival circuit annually, and that that still amounts to checks.

They'll probably just have to take the old nostalgia route and focus on the demographic that orininally supported them, which isn't so bad as that demo has now aged just as they have. I can see EnVougue not unlike alot of the folks who were young hot stuff in our day, and people in our age group and beyond are now buying their music in boutique coffee houses. It's all just marketing in the end. I'm still trying to find a working link from the entertainment reporter that reviewed their show though, and mentioned that even though their voices jelled onstage, the ladies did mention that for the time being they just wanted to see how thing would jell afterwards before they committed to anything long-term....

MsLegs said:

Yep. Female groups are known to have catty-issues - Man Issues & Jealousy are par for the course. Only when they need cash do they realize that shit was petty and they then reunite for that coin.

SCNDLS said:

Exactly! Thank you!

Yall are horrible.

I don’t trust Dawn as far as I can throw her but I’d check them out if they did quality music. I just don’t want to see them on tour with some throwback 80s groups.

MuthaFunka said:

You know you need to be 'shamed!

..and with that, I need to hustle my own behind into the mirror with some TCB my damned self, and get the hell out of here and go see some non-kempt male musicians play

MuthaFunka said:

Hold on now, MuthaFunka . . . don't just put the breakup phenomenon on female groups. I'd venture to say there are issues in just about EVERY "group" just because of people's jealous natures. Just look at the Beatles, the Temptations, the Jacksons, the Doors, Fleetwood Mac, New Edition, among others, and those are just the ones we know of.

Ottensen said:

But c'mon, Ottie! AIRYBODAY can't rock a short cut, and Dawn certainly ain't rockin' THAT particular cut. It just looks uncombed. Sorry, but I don't like my chicks hair lookin' like Gary Coleman's naps from his "Diff'rent Strokes" days.

at Dawn's husband's comments.

Maxine and Dawn look a hot mess in that pic. Cindy and Terry still look great.

Ottensen said:

Who, Flava Flav?

Ottensen said:

Oh, okay. . . but if you check out the link with the additional pics it kinda looks like Dawn's actually wearing a ponytail, which if she is, makes what's going on at the top of her head even WORSE. I could be wrong tho.
[Edited 4/30/08 12:51pm]

Maybe Dawn has twisties or something. It’s hard to see what type of style it is from the photo.

FYI: Women who take care of themselves don’t fall apart after having kids. Their bodies are built for it. However, Max and Dawn look like they could lay off the white flour for a bit.

SCNDLS said:

Yeah, true - But chicks NEVER stay together after the shit hits the fans. Dudes, just like in real life, will move on and still be cool and be able to function as a group. Y'all chicks hold grudges on each other like a muthafucka!

MuthaFunka said:

I gotta agree with you some what. I'm a female and I'll say staight up Dawn AND Maxine look like they just left the hood laundry mat on a Saturday morning.
Now as for the short hair on Dawn it's not that it's short it, just looks like she woke up and slapped some gel in that shit and rolled out. Um, not a look look for her.

Ifsixwuz9 said:

Exactly!

Ifsixwuz9 said:

You're right, it's not the length of her hair because the pic in the initial post shows Dawn with short hair (and Max lookin' a hot mess, as usual) and it looks HOT! Then again, that pic's 3 years old.

MuthaFunka said:

But that's exactly what EV is doing now, moving on and trynta function as a group. All I'm sayin' is that it happens to most groups male, female, and everything in between, just because of the dynamics. I mean, do you REALLY think Tito and Jackie got over Michael dumpin' they asses???

MuthaFunka said:

I really don't see what's wrong with Dawn's hair. It looks like she is wearing a short mini 'fro and if so, it looks nice on her.

Now Maxine is another story. I am not a fan of micro-braids or blonde hair.
She's been rocking those micro braids since the Holdin On video.

Maxine looked her best in the Don't Let Go video.
