These Young Girls Are a Mess

Sandra Rose February 26, 2009

Dawn Richard, formerly of Danity Kane, stripped buck naked for this month’s KING magazine. I saw the outtakes from the shoot, trust me — just like Ciara, she was naked. When you don’t have any talent at all — just like Ciara — you strip.

Sad, but true. I didn’t understand why Cici went nude.
And does Dawn have a new album or single to promote? I guess she looks good though.

this is an issue, WHY? did u see Aubrey in Playboy? please

Dawn has talent, she just doesn’t have a group or a label or fans that will support her as a solo artist. I feel bad for those Danity girls. They will have to start working regular 9 to 5’s. Mark my words, Aubrey will be the only one we will still be seeing in a year from now. She needs to get her own reality show.

Oh, and I love Dawn’s purple shoes.

@Bird I agree about Dawn whom I like. Bless her heart. I disagree about Aubrey she IRKS me and does not need her own reality show.

LOL at Charles. Yah I seen that. She couldn’t tell us the release date of the album or if she would be doin any touring. And she started to get really defensive of the album when she spoke about it. I’m worried for my girl, Cici this time around…
Sharonda

To bad she resorted to King lol.
LB

all of the girls have posed for King before. this is nothing new

DEATH @ her being #96

She did it for the money – Simple. Diddy did everything but Screw those girls in the ass….what do you expect.

She looks like she was trying to keep it classy – not sure if she succeeded or not..the jury is still out on that one
Terry .W

Ciara just looks like she is peeing or taking a dump in a field somewhere to me…lol

i don’t agree with nudity posing, but dawn looks more sexy and i like the pose. ciara looks like she is constipated and having a hard time getting it out. ciara was on the radio and told Free that the album will be out in may and she said it will not change. beyonce should be coming out with another album by them
mizzdallas

I think Dawn looks nice **no homo**… For as Ciara she was on the Ed Lover/Free show and she said that her album is coming out April something and during that time she is gonna tour ** crickets sound** I like Ciara but I dont think this cd is going anywhere…. This is one time Diddy didnot short change anybody it was the Aubrey the manipulator who broke up the group…

Dawn is not attactive on TV but looks nice in these prints

@LB— i cant stand that damn aubrey urks ma soul…
poor dawn…. her underground stuff is good i must admit, Danity Kane is over… i watch MKB and all… and diddy said he aint letting none of them out they contracts.. i cant stand him either though. who has he put out that actually made it forreal????

too bad cause i know the only way they gone make money if by doing MKB and even then diddy is profiting.
Daisy

@Mizz I usually agree with you but not this time. You know Puffy was being extra as well. He could have handled Aubrey and kept it moving. He was bugging last week on the show it made for great TV though. I love me some Puffy but he was wrong on this one IMO.
Daisy

@Smiley its the hair and make up on tv. She can look very tranny at times. I do love her voice though and she can write a little.

I guess people will just label me a hater. But I think Dawn is overrated. To me she can’t sing that great, she’s no Jennifer Hudson or Fantasia. And she’s not cute to me in any way shape or form like Rihanna, Christina Milian, or Beyonce. So whats the big deal about her?? I personally think that Aundrea had a better voice if they would have let her sing.

It so sad that ,when whites pose nude it becomes acceptable. When our beautiful sista does it , it becomes taboo. Ciara is a Multi-Talented artist and Sexiest Female ALIVE. I believe her story , her clothes wear remove. Team Ciara, All day Everyday (:GREATEST ENTERTAINER ALIVE

Dawn is talented which is why I’m kind of disappointed by this. I understand the whole sex sells thing but I was hoping Danity Kane would be a little different.
Bubbles

Ciara just shot a video with Justin Timberlake for her song Love Sex Magic that is the most added on pop radio this week.
Her album is out in May.

Dawn is a talented young woman who will do bigger and better things than 90% of the bloggers here (including Sandra) whose only talent is being a former RN.

Keep hating on black women.

I don’t even understand why they do this. It never helps anything. Dawn needs to be ashamed.

And who cares what white girls do? Black women didn’t start having so many problems until they started emulating white whores anyway. Yeah I said it and meant every single syllable.

I guess everyone is entitled to their opinions but MAN, Ciara is like a one hit wonder and if she keeps trying to compete with Beyonce she really will lose. She is no talent and aske yourself “have u ever heard her sing live”? NO because she can’t, stay with 50 cent so she can keep the money coming in and stop calling photgraphers to take pictures of you everywhere you go…

@zuley

Okay I just have a question about your “And she’s not cute to me in any way shape or form like Rihanna, Christina Milian, or Beyonce. all of thise girls you listed all LSLH are you saying she is NOT attractive because she is dark skin & NOT LS or she just NOT attractive at all. I do admit at times Dawn can look trannish but she is talent female… and btw Im not been defensive I just wanna know….
intown51

Things said about dawn on an email list I’m on (all guys):

It is a bad picture because that is what happens when ugly whor*s take pictures.

Her f***ing knees are terrible

Yeah, they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for that one….bring back Free. (Sadly, I had to inform my dudes that Free is a big as a double wide now…Jesus wept..)

@ mizzdallas

Yea I see what you are saying. Dawn is just not attractive to me at all and not because of her skin tone. I was comparing her to other singers. I didn’t even think about the whole light vs dark thing. But Dawn is not cute and it has nothing to do with her complexion unlike Kenya Moore, Naomi Campbell, Jessica White and Lanisha Cole who are all dark skin women and I think are absolutely beautiful. Oh and I forgot about Tweet my bad. So its never a color thing with me. Just wanted to clarify that. But thanks for pointing that out.

I think Dawn looks a little odd for the same reason as Brandy which is they have wideset eyes.

As for Danity Kane, Diddy tore that group up for TV purposes not realizing that the girls would ignore his calls after the fact. He messed with Aubrey because she takes heat on the blogs and just kicked out D because her and Aubrey were friends. We ain’t even seen those two out together in ages so that was for nothing. He also tore up the group by going out with Dawn solo which I’m led to believe caused the static between the girls in the first place. Dawn was talking real slick about that situation until she saw that the other girls would walk when the dodo hit the fan. This situation is as much her fault as much as Diddy and Aubrey.
ggouch

In an era where women and men of all ages are sending p*ussy and Di*ck shots to the person they just met at the gas station via cell phone I am somewhat shocked at all the nay sayers regarding these two women possing tastefully nude. I hope there are no hypocrites on deck!
iscream

This picture proves that photshop can make the ugliest chick look pretty cause we all know Dawn looks like her mother collected social security for her as a child.

On that first episode of this season MTB when she went to meet Puffy she looked a hot azz mess. Her hair was chopped even under that billy goat hat she had on.

Shame. King Magazine must have a contract with Viacom bc they love to feature women from VH1 & MTV shows.

Trufus!!

And there is nothing appealing about Dawn as a solo artist. There was nothing appealing about her in the group either.

The best thing for Puffy todo is take Dawn & Q and have them sing together… a la Marvin Gaye & Tammy Terell… Alexander O’neil & that chick (don’t know her name) Ashford & Simpson ect… you all get my point. There is no act out like that now. & if they can really sing this could work.

I really like that idea. And I think their tones are a good match too. We ain’t had a good duo ala Rene and Angela in ages.

I am Dawn and Aundrea fans. They were the most authenic talent of the bunch. Dawn’s voice is unique and she can dance her butt off and don’t get me started on lil Aundrea because she can blow like Christina A but never gets her shine.

No Dawn isn’t the cutest girl in the world but she isn’t dog ugly either. She has been looking really nice lately but I wish should wouldn’t have posed nude (even though her pose is hella classy).

I don’t even know why people go on MTB because Diddy plays with these kids lives for tv. The last couple of episodes had me disgusted with him. He tells Dawn and Aundrea that it’s there fault be he’s the MF who laid the hammer down on Aubrey and D. Woods for tv and it backfired on his azz because they both bounced. He thought they were going to beg to come back and they didn’t. I don’t believe Dawn has a solo deal because she wouldn’t be the ONLY one calling and pretty much begging the other girls to come back to the group. If she had a solo deal I don’t think she’d give a rats azz what they did.

@Bird if you watched MTB lately Dawn said why she was acting the way she was. She said the girls say all their stuff behind clothes doors and talk about what they were going to say on the finale but then when the cameras are on the don’t say anything. She also said that Aubrey wasn’t supposed to go on tv and do her woe is me spill on the finale and she said she was PISSED (it wasn’t hard to tell by the look on her face) but Shannon and Aundrea still didn’t say anything on the show or to Aubrey afterwords but then they still talk chit in the background. Dawn may just be one of those I’m not holding my tongue kind of chicks.

@Shauney…I agree almost 100%. It was Diddy’s fault. He didn’t have to do it like that. I think Aubrey talks to much and shoulda chilled during the meeting but still Diddy let his pride get to him and now he looks stupid cuz those girls r gone. I really like Danity Kane. I’m still upset over the split…but it’s Diddy’s fault bottom line.

By the way have met dawn in person and she is NOT ugly at all. She just needs help with her style from time to time. AND she can saaaaaaaaaang. Very talented. IDK how i feel about the nudity but it’s her body. She aint being nasty or showing privates so…
tbrown

I think this is another way for her to stay in the spotlight maybe??? I think her mop of a weave is looking a little ‘special’. She’s a pretty girl and I don’t think the poses are crude or anything. Soft porn maybe, but what today ISN’T???

I think Dawn took the better pics….Ciara almost got her cootie out!

Yuck!
