Five holes in my ear and each one had a stone that matched whatever I was wearing except the bottom hole... that one had a big *ss gold hoop. Why did I have to grow up!!!!?????

  • ReadingIsFundamental

    Kingstonn.. they too good for that now. :nono: heffas got the solo itch and said to hell with them other stippers. Honestly though, I think they don't want to be seen as "has beens". They are doing something current and want to be seen as relevant now instead of just back then.

    my random reasoning

    I mean she went and did her solo thing.. not singing but, writing and doing behind the scenes stuff. Kind of how she does now with the kiddie group.

  • https://sandrarose.com Sandra Rose

    @ rozb She told that story many years ago. So did Jeffrey. :) I've always believed she married him because Michael Jackson didn't want her. Remember she and Michael were supposed to be dating? I never believed it. There was zero sparks between them. :lol:

  • J2201987

    Wow! I'd love to go to that!

  • MsOnederful

    I hope Kandi puts her differences aside with Tameka Scott and join the line up...They were a great group! Tameka years ago went on NY Radio and said that Kandi used to slay J.D. on Miss Jones radio show. This is before the RHOA fame though...Morning Roses!

  • Twilight

    No Kandi with this reunion. possible 3 original members so far from what i am told. hell i need to update my blogger with news of Xscape news.*sigh* maybe today. @sandra you have to go in your picture album and grab some old throw back pictures that you have taken of these groups.

  • Yardgirl

    I hope they take the concert on the road!! :listen: If not I may have to do quick fly out to Atlanta!! :danban1:

  • pointhimout

    Will Kandi be there to sign my RHOA photo of her? And can she bring Todd just because? I like looking at him. He's not a 10 or a 4; he's just right.
