BACK IN THE DAY BEATABLES

ev1990

I’m not sure who had a bigger crush on EN VOGUE, me or PHIFE from a Tribe Called Quest. To my credit, I was in love with ALL of them. Of course CINDY was on the top of my list. Who in their rabbit azz mind wouldn’t want to smash a California beauty pageant queen? DAWN was hot, but I couldn’t really fuck with all the piercings and rock girl bullshit aesthetic that she morphed into post-Lucy Pearl. TERRY was my real love though. She seemed quiet and shy. Those are usually the girls that like anal.

My enfatuation subsided somewhat when my mother gave me a video for my birthday that featured EN VOGUE up close and personal. The ladies were a bit too up close with no make up or hair pieces on and a little too personal as they trash talked to one another chain smoked throughout the tape. It was my first little taste of the reality behind show business. I’ve come around to liking EN VOGUE again, just not with the same fervor in which I was willing to commit crimes for them.

At some point in my writing career I may have a chance to smash one of the girls from E.V. It won’t matter to me how old she is either. Post-menopausal women can certainly get it too. Y’all know how we do!?!

    That fourth member now is the youngest by almost nine years but looks worn out. She’d be fifth on my list.

  12. Key from the City says:

    Sorry DP but Cindy was very typical looking and acting. I knew a sister that lived in Drew Hamilton projects that looked just like Cindy but with a fierce attitude. Dawn was the flyest one then Maxine.

    What is the name of the chick who took Dawn’s place?

  13. Man, some of them didn’t age too well. Cindy’s still fine, though.

    By the way, great site.

    I know this is a late submission but they look damn good to be in thier 40’s. I have seen part of a reunion concert with the original 4 and they still got it going on. Its a shame that we in the united states still only like to listen to whatever someone else thinks this is the new in thing instead of listening to REAL singing and not all the crap that these youngsters listen to now days. There isnt a single song being created now days that isnt unforgettable. You will not remember a lot of these studio singers that are putting out mess. I think if you really like the music, no matter how old they have gotten, and are still putting out good music, you should support it. Stop listening to stuff that the media crams down your throat because they say this is hot and you only get it because YOU want to be in. Think for yourslef people, like what you like and dont let anyone sway you from that. Stop listening to the critics. check it out for yourself. You could be missing out because you let someone control your mind.
