This article makes me sad. Every time I read about Chynna doing her Christian thing it makes me sad. I am not judging her and she can do whatever she wants but it still makes me sad for some reason. I always think when I read about this "Kiss Wilson Phillips goodbye!"

>>While looking for some new Chynna stuff regarding her
>>being a born again Christian, I found this article in
>>Vanity Fair about Michelle Phillips that has a few
>>Chynna mentions.
>>
>>"My mom always seemed to have a relationship going
>>on, but she was never a chameleon, never an extension
>>of her boyfriends—she never compromised herself,” says
>>Chynna Phillips Baldwin, sitting at a café near the
>>Westchester County, New York, home where she lived
>>with Billy (whom she’s been with for 16 years), their
>>daughters Brooke (known as Chay Chay) and Jameson, and
>>their son, Vance, before they moved to California for
>>his role in TV’s Dirty Sexy Money. “Growing up, I
>>always saw her as Wonder Woman, as a tough cookie. I
>>had respect for her—and fear! She was very passionate
>>and emotional, and I didn’t want to rock the boat.”
>>Chynna’s early childhood was “hard,” she admits with a
>>sigh, “because I didn’t have strong, positive
>>connections with either of my parents.” Her absent
>>father (whom she idolized) was largely on drugs and
>>alcohol, and, though mother and daughter loved each
>>other, Chynna feels she didn’t get all the one-on-one
>>attention she wanted. As a result, she says, “being a
>>mom is challenging for me—my perspective is warped.
>>How much time is enough to spend with your kids? How
>>much is too little? Do they feel intimate with me, and
>>I with them? Are my feelings
real?”
>>
>>In the 90s, Chynna was the most glamorous member of
>>Wilson Phillips, the second-generation-rock-royalty
>>group (Brian Wilson’s daughters Carnie and Wendy were
>>her group-mates); they had four hit songs. But she
>>left the family business for a sensibility foreign to
>>her parents: she’s a fervent born-again Christian. She
>>was baptized in brother-in-law Stephen Baldwin’s
>>bathtub, and she’d love to share “the power of God”
>>with Michelle. “When Mom says she’s coming to town, I
>>say, ‘I’m filling the bathtub.’ We have a good giggle
>>over that.”
