The DCC Organization: Coaches, Judges and Owner Group

[RazzleberryPie]

Sometimes what looks trendy/edgy/funky at 25 just looks crazy at 55. That's how I see Kitty. Don't want to kill her buzz, but maybe tone it down a notch.

i think Judy has shortened her hair some since the beginning, but I agree, a long lob, maybe at the collar bones would be more flattering.

I hear you! My impression is that Kitty is a very pragmatic kind of lady who likes to get on with life and prefers to spend time just living her life rather than getting wrapped up in time-consuming self-obsessions. Maybe a "been there done that" mentality with the beauty queen stuff, and happy to let it go and be low maintenance. Not that she's letting herself go or anything, but she's a secure person who is happy in herself.

Thats not to diss Judy's style either, but she clearly looks after herself well and power to her!

I honestly can't imagine her with hair any different to what it is! It seems so synonymous with her personality. What other styles could you see on her?

What @RazzleberryPie said. I feel Judy's hair, while great, weighs her down a bit. A chic bob would look great on her.

I want some of whatever Judys having, the woman just doesn't age.. 

Im not sure whether it's good genes or good work if I'm honest ?

i don't think Judy looks like she has had much work done? maybe i am bad at guessing that kind of thing lol but i see wrinkles around her eyes, etc.  She just looks like she has lived a healthy life, tried not to bake in the sun, etc. 

[Annmarie1111]

With the realization that so many DCC have extensions, I wonder if Judy does?  Any thoughts?

No, not even for a second. Look at pics of her when she was a DCC. That amazing head of hair is all natural. :)

[ccr5678]

If any I don't think Judy has had much work done. You can (faintly) see a few wrinkles. Minimal, considering her age, I hope I look like that when I'm in my 60's/late 50's!

I honestly think Kelli is prettier now than when she was a DCC.  She's just a classic beauty.

I think Kelli is really pretty too.  Like when I watch the show I honestly think she's prettier than most of the TCCs and DCCs.  Like she is just stunning for any age.

[RazzleberryPie]

Judy's hair is hers. Kelli has had pieces in.

me too ... I think she looks super put together and very classy...

 

whoops, hit return too soon ... Kelli just looks rich if that makes sense.  Not saying she is but she looks the part

[RedDelicious]

Judy wouldn't look as good as she does without that hair. She's pretty wrinkled but doesn't seem to be to spotted, then again, she is perpetually tan and that hides a lot.

I agree about Kelli and the casual suits in the early days of MTT. I think she had a thyroid problem too which wreaks havoc on your hair and your weight. 

I definitely think Kelli could rock the dances if she wanted to!

Kelli is a lady who really knows how to carry herself. The whole show wouldn't be nearly as compelling to watch without her poise.

[ByTor]

Didn't Kelli have some kind of eye issue where she had to take oral steroids?  They wreak havoc on people, but IMO she still manages to look great all the time.

[RedDelicious]

The eye issue was very likely related to the thyroid issue, I'm guessing Graves' opthalmopathy (I was at risk for it too) and I think she eventually had her thyroid removed.  She does look great and working around that stuff is no joke!  She's probably so much smaller in person as well.  I'll put a side note about the boots in the appropriate thread :)

[JC123]

Kelli does have big boobies though. They always make people look bigger overall than they actually are.

'Im sorry for bringing up an old post, but I just wanted to agree wholeheartedly with Laurenbrook about this!  I can't remember where I saw a photo of Kelli giving Sam a driving lesson and Kelli wasn't wearing a stitch of makeup but still looked gorgeous (and she looked about 25 years old too!)

Even her most recent vacation photos, she always just has her hair thrown up and no make up! I love it. :)

If it was Graves (hyperthyroidism), she'd have a hard time keeping any weight on. It can also lead to bulging eyes (remember Marty Feldman from Young Frankenstein? ). If anything, Kelli would have the opposite, which is hypothyroidism, which causes weight gain, lethargy, feeling cold, etc.

I have no idea what actually transpired with her, since that's her private health info. But definitely not Graves, given what we've seen.

I think she had some eye problems which lead her to take steroids. Steroids can lead to weight gain and other lovely side effects. I think she also had a hysterectomy or a partial hysterectomy.

[cherryblossom]

I believe she had a hysterectomy which would have included the removal of her ovaries and subsequent hormonal change

[bjo1969]

Talking about Kelli, Judy and Kitty ~ with their differing personalities, I think they would be a hoot to hang out with. I imagine them hanging out and having girl fun when they go to Nashville for the CMT awards while still maintaining integrity and class. 

[ByTor]

I can't imagine Kitty being fun at all, she seems like a truly mean spirited person.

Graves is autoimmune hyperthyroid and some patients do gain quite a bit of weight because it causes your appetite to go into overdrive and you overeat. If treatment with thyroid suppressing meds or radioactive iodine is not successful, the thyroid is surgically removed. Steroids can be used to treat graves opthalmopathy.

I was only suggesting it as a possible reason for the physical changes we have seen in her over the years, since we don't really know what happened and a lot of us often wonder.

I have heard the exact opposite.  Kelsey, for instance, said Kitty is awesome - and remember, Kitty called her a stripper on TV LOL  She said Kitty is genuinely supportive and caring to the girls and wants to help them.  I honestly think they dramatize a lot of it for TV. 

[ccr5678]

WHOAAAA WHOA WHOA. Don't go talking about kitty. Lol she dials it up for the show, but she is probably hands down the best dance teacher/mentor in Dallas. She's not meant for the weak hearted, but she's great. One night she thought she broke me down and pulled me aside and asked me if I was okay. She genuinely tries to push people and pull greatness out of them. And she knows her shit. 

 

My my personality is similar to Kitty's so I love her and hope to be half the woman she is one day. 

 

But it yes it would've fun to be a fly on the wall with Kelli, Judy, and kitty. 

[RazzleberryPie]

Kitty is blunt, but she isn't nearly as rude or condescending as a whole lot of pro dance professionals who act like dancers are commodities and not humans. 

Kitty is what a whole lot of Special Snowflake girls need - special snowflake as in always the studio darling, best and prettiest at their school, etc - to jolt them into being amazing performers. You see so many who have worked hard, but never had much of a challenge, and kitty challenges them.

she might be abrupt and dramatic, but I've never seen her give bad advice or harmful instruction. 

[ccr5678]

She just says what people are thinking! I've heard her tell a girl that she had a "blow job mouth" and honestly...I hate to say it but she was right. This particular girl came from a cheer background so they do exaggerated facials with a wide open mouth. And kitty corrected her! She still works on it but she's very much aware and there was no hard feelings. 

 

I know I probably sound crazy but it's one of those things you had to be there. It was hilarious.

BAHHH! I know exactly what face you're talking about! When I was a cheerleader, I made sure to ask some of the more experienced girls how to not look like a maniac with facials. Granted, it wasn't a great squad I was on, but some of the facials I used to see were insane. I don't think most cheer coaches tell anyone to tone down anything, so going to Kitty and getting advice about what a pro dance team wants is definitely a good idea.

And just because I'm awful:

Watching the re-runs of Season 10.  Does anyone else try to look at all the things on Kelli's desk & folder rack?  She is so organized!  When I was working in the corporate world, I was a neat freak when it came to my office space, so I love seeing how organized she is :)

I do try to look! However I'm sure they're very aware that her office is a "set" and it's all there for a reason.

Judy is the cutest!! I bet she has some empathy for Danielle with all that hair, too ????

[Bubbetv]

I don't know, there's strong resemblence, but very different to me. The long hair shot of judy looks cute as can be. When Cassie smiles like that, all I see is Cartman from South Park.

I just love that first pic, it's adorable and wow all that hair!

[Dccfanatic]

I would give anything to have that hair, even if just for one day! I would be in heaven! That is a true gift that even the best extensions cannot imitate. Cassie did not inherite that, though, did she?

That hair must be such a part of Judy's identity, from a young age. She must get comments on it constantly. She would look so different without that hair. I adore it! I have hair envy to the extreme!

This will happen way before that. You know Sam is dying to wear the uniform instead of being a hanger-on like she is now. I bet money Holly is giving her privates. If we see a drastic change in body shape that will be the sign that Kelli will put her on the team.

Someone lit a pipe bomb behind Judy's house! No one was hurt and no damage but my goodness, that's scary.

I will assume neither of you know Sam at all by your assumptions. She is far from a "hanger-on" or "dying to be in the uniform". I personally have been around Sam at auditions and she talks about things other than DCC. She and Cassie are night and day when it comes to the passion of DCC. I don't think her having friends on the squad automatically makes her using them for privates and things of that matter.

You assume correctly on my part. I don't know her. My opinion is based on solely on social media and to clarify, not just her social media. In my opinion, she does seem like the third wheel in pics with other DCCs. 

On social media, I have seen her working out with Holly. To me, it is not far fetched that Holly would work with Sam on her dancing. I never said the word used or any other things of that matter.  If any DCC is helping Sam with dance, I'm sure it would be mutually benefitting to both. 

Again, just my opinion. 

[RazzleberryPie]

All I'm going by with Sam is her social media posts about when she's in the uniform, in the team, on the field, etc. She made those comments herself.

Whoa she's posted about "when she's in the uniform"????? 

[RazzleberryPie]

Correct me if I'm wrong. Hey if she can improve enough from the prep class videos she's posted, more power to her. With all the grief Cassie is still getting years after retiring, if this is what Sam wants, she knows what backlash to prepare for. 

[RhiRhi]

No one would assume Sam wants to be a DCC if she hadn't posted multiple times about how she looks forward to cheering on the team with Holly and Dayton and Victoria.  I think she also posted that about Cami Branson.

I had Graves Disease at the age of 18.  I could eat anything I wanted and only weighed 100 lbs!!  folk don't gain weight with it, they can't gain weight with it.  Mine was arrested with medication as i had just started developing the big eyes (exopthalmic goiter), although the fine tremor and weight loss were were pretty active symptoms . It is a hyperthyroidism.

[bigskygirl]

I think Kelli had a hysterectomy. I know women who have endometriosis can end up being diagnosed with Graves Disease (I was diagnosed with Graves Disease six months after surgery and being diagnosed with endometriosis.) I also think Kelli had some type of eye problems and was put on steroids. Steroids can cause puffiness and other lovely side effects.
