I'm guessing this is a pic from the time period when Dawn Robinson wasn't in the group:
In 2001, En Vogue temporarily became a quartet again when Amanda Cole joined the group. Soon after, original member Maxine Jones left the group to focus more time on family. Ellis, Herron and Cole released a holiday album, The Gift of Christmas. Soon after the holiday album, Cole too left the group and was replaced with Rhona Bennett. Meanwhile, Robinson's first solo CD Dawn was released in early 2002. During the latter part of 2003, En Vogue toured Europe with Maxine Jones rejoining the group to fill the place of Cindy Herron, who was on maternity leave.
― HI DERE, Tuesday, 10 June 2008 15:15 (seventeen years ago)
NONE of those girls in the pic at left were EVER in En Vogue, I'll swear to it.
