Guest June 27, 2016 Share June 27, 2016 I doubt they would break out a plain old uniform for the girls to wear because they make them specifically for the girls measurements. The boots I could totally see. Link to comment
JC123 June 27, 2016 Share June 27, 2016 A full uniform would be too time consuming along with not being practical as they're custom made, but just a pair of boots would be good! Even if they just had their picture taken in the boots it would surely make things more simple and not drag someone through half of training camp for no reason? 1 Link to comment
SopranoKris June 27, 2016 Share June 27, 2016 Are the TCCs/DCCs allowed to post pics from cameos? Or is that considered a no-no?

It would be too unsanitary to have that many girls try on various boot sizes. Can you imagine how many sweaty feet would be going in to the same pair of boots? Who know what bacteria/fungus is lurking on their feet. I know, gross, but I'm a nurse so I can't help but think of the potential issue there. 2 Link to comment
JC123 June 27, 2016 Share June 27, 2016 (edited) Hmmm that's true. But I guess it's no different to trying on a pair of shoes in a shop.. You get those special socks, right? Because I didn't mean dance in the boots, just try them on for the picture the girls always have taken at the end anyway, for the fan vote cover. But either way, there has to be a better way of doing it than dragging someone through training camp then cutting them just because their legs are too short. Must suck Edited June 27, 2016 by JC123 2 Link to comment

I'm guessing Kelli etc. love her because she has a fuller figure than just about any other DCC I've seen (not fat, just much curvier) yet it hasn't bothered then one bit. She really seems to be the photographers favourite too. Angela was curvy and to me Jen K does not have the typical DCC body either. I love them all. I believe it takes all types to make the world go round. lolol I understand that K&J are trying to appeal to the audience but every person does not like the typical stick figure, blonde haired, blue eyed barbie. Mix it up pleeaassee!! 2 Link to comment
JC123 June 27, 2016 Share June 27, 2016 Shoot me down if I'm wrong, right, but I have a feeling the "Morgan" of this season might just be Kelsey.. Like be on the bubble for almost everything but scrape through based on other factors like personality and cameos. I'll be soooo surprised if she didn't look amazing in her cameo today, the girl is gorgeous! So most of us are pretty sure auto amy could be in trouble.. Any speculation as to who else may be in a bit of trouble? 2 Link to comment

bigskygirl June 28, 2016 Author Share June 28, 2016 According to Miss Kitty, the girls are not required to audition for Show Group. Of course, if they want to make the group, they do have to try out. Link to comment
RazzleberryPie June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 Why am I thinking the year they filmed show group auditions, they said they were all required to audition it didn't have to accept? Was it just that year, or did the voices in my head tell me that ? 1 Link to comment
bigskygirl June 28, 2016 Author Share June 28, 2016 Maybe they wanted all the girls to try out so they have something to film for the show. I know they have shown show group auditions before, but I do not remember anyone saying it was required. Link to comment
RazzleberryPie June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 It definitely gave the impression that Loren leaping badly across the stage was bc she was required, and Lauren's awful national anthem. I could be wrong. I wonder if it was just for that year. 3 Link to comment
Oranaiche June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 (edited) I don't think they said anything about it being required last year when Loren did those awkward leaps. I think most of the girls audition though so it makes it seem like they all do. Also Lauren's national anthem didn't sound great, but she did sing on show group. In particular I remember a trio with her, Cassie, and another girl that was posted years ago. Lauren was definitely a long time show group member so her singing audition wouldn't really indicate whether or not it's required. Edited June 28, 2016 by Oranaiche Link to comment
Smplsimon June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 Unless I'm mistaken, I believe Danielle has never tried out. Not that she'd make it if she did, but I believe I saw/heard that somewhere. Link to comment

And maybe if they don't want to be considered they only have to do the routine they learned and not across the floor, singing, etc. A current TCC told me that they are all to participate in SG auditions but can mark that they do not want to be considered for it this season. I did not ask for more details than that... 8 hours ago, sleepyjean said: She has a good voice, but I would not call that an outstanding talent. haha fair enough.

Right, so how does that mean she auditioned? Asking her about not wanting to be considered doesn't necessarily mean she auditioned. Obviously they observe the girls and start making notes on their technique before the SG auditions, and Carissa clearly had technique. I dunno, I'm just not convinced that they make everyone audition, especially since Kitty says they're not required to. 1 hour ago, RazzleberryPie said: Was that Lauren?

RazzleberryPie June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 Cassie does have a decent voice, especially for harmony. She could sing a little, tumble a little, dance a little, etc. maybe more than a little lol.

kalibean June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 I think I would want the training camp experience even if I was a long shot, correct leg length or no. If it's indeed a paying gig, you have three months of an intense dance job that gives great experience even if you don't make the team, plus some extra exposure from CMT. I can see advantages from this little bit. That said, I think the boot try on isn't a bad idea. The show wouldn't be as interesting without cuts, though, and we do get to know some of the girls well in the storyline even if they're cut for drumstick thighs and lackluster dancing. I love the dance, but it's a tv show in the end. 3 Link to comment
kalibean June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 I go back and forth with Belk. It's a major department store in the south, and I even did a little modeling for them waaaay back in the day (junior high, first bit of high school.) It's newer to the Dallas market, though, with their first store opening in McKinney (far north suburb) and then they took over the Saks spot at the Galleria when Saks left Dallas. I like their tie in with the DCC and think it makes sense from a promotional point of view. I also think their style sensibility makes sense for the south and is fairly true to what I see in junior league, church, sorority functions, etc Southern women do tend to have a more mature sense of style, even at a young age, and particularly so at more society functions. I started my career in the buying offices at Neiman Marcus and learned a lot about this in store allocations - David Yurman jewelry is a great example of youth and localization. It's a rite of passage to get a piece for your sweet 16 or high school graduation, but it's a more mature look and the average customer age goes way up in other parts of the country. Seeing a 16 year old wearing two pieces of Yurman and a high neck, knee length, bright print on a teenager or your Floridian grandma sounds about right to me. I had a grand time explaining all this to the Nordstrom buyers when I moved there for three years - we like our grandma fashion, okay? Light and bright!! 4 Link to comment

With that being said, if they're being cut for legs that are too short or any other reason that cannot be changed, isn't that rather unfair to keep bringing them to TC and expecting a different result? Just seems kind of like beating a dead horse. Does anyone else think they should make trying on a uniform part of the finals, making it part of their overall score? Absolutely.

PrincessLeia June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 When did getting David Yurman for your sweet 16 become a rite of passage???? I grew up upper middle class and my mom would've laughed her ass off at me if I'd asked for a piece of David Yurman for my sweet 16. Perhaps for rich families, that's a thing. I'm not that old either... Out of high school less than 20 years. I think your take on southern style is right... Although girls here (down 45 S from Dallas) tend to be a little edgier in their style in their 20s. I think it's because Houston and Austin are more diverse than Dallas. I can't imagine wearing anything from Belk in my 20s. I was more of a Club Monaco/ Armani girl. But I do love my Lilly.... 1 Link to comment
ccr5678 June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 I was in the galleria once and ran into belk looking for a dress last minute. I'm a tried and true southern girl and it look me FOREVER to find something I liked. I picked a cute Jessica Simpson summer dress. Orange and eyelet fabric. But I swear it was like finding a needle in a haystack. Everything was pricey considering somewhat out of style or too old lady-ish. again, I'm in my twenties and friends with a few TCCs. We don't always wear lilly or something from our grandmas time respun for today. I think it definitely depends on the event. But yes I tend to be "preppier". But also when I go to uptown I'm not afraid not to wear a LBD bodycon. 2 Link to comment
RazzleberryPie June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 Belk also has the standard Calvin Klein, Michael Kors, Nine West, etc lines. I've found cute dresses there. Link to comment
Guest June 28, 2016 Share June 28, 2016 I definitely am not from the south, cause I had no idea what Belk was until I watched this show. Here in the north, I wear either yoga pants/capris/jean shorts/jeans after work or wear my nice Banana Republic/Ann Taylor outlet tops and NY&Co work pants for work. These girls have to dress so fashionable to ride an airplane and I'm just like...I'll be over here in my yoga pants and sweatshirt in the terminal. Link to comment
