kalibean July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 They definitely aren't cheap, and I know I've lived in Dallas too long, but $550 honestly didn't seem that bad to me. White boots just seem so impractical for your "investment" boot. So if I could have only one pair of boots, these wouldn't be it. Besides, we've seen these gals roll up into auditions wearing $250 sparkly bras. What's $550 for shoes? 3 Link to comment
tobeyoungagain July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 If I'm paying $550 for shoes, they better have a red sole or a nice T logo on it :) White boots definitely don't seem like investment, have-forever, wear-with-anything-everything boots. I would love me a pair of loubie boots ... mmmmmm yeah those are thousands 1 Link to comment

Regardless of the fact that some of these girls spend hundreds on audition wear, not all do and not all have the means to. I'm sure some will buy the boots, but it can't be expected when the things cost half a grand. I couldn't afford it unless I was going to seriously scrimp on other things. 1 Link to comment
Moxiejan July 6, 2016 Share July 6, 2016 (edited) No, it wouldn't be "expected" to buy the boots, but if it were me in the final stages of TC, I'd make darned sure I had adequate field practice in boots that are as close as possible to the ones worn by DCC. It just seems penny wise/ pound foolish to spend so much money & effort on the earlier stages and then not feel totally ready to kick and stride on the field. Find three other TCCs of the same size & split the cost, sell them as "almost new" a week later on eBay (also sell audition and solo outfits that were worn once or twice), whatever it takes.

With a price tag like that they're not really available to all. You know what's funny? Being a Texas girl, my first thought was, " oh, that's not too bad," lol. My son is obsessed with cowboy boots, and we've seen upwards of 1500 dollars. I would never pay that, but I know someone would. I love the brown ones. 1 Link to comment
kalibean July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 I for sure think it's crazy town to buy them just for audition practice, but they are super cute boots. I think buying the Capezio dance boots they wore back in the day would be sufficient for practice ahead of time. And I would definitely do that before I bought the sparky bra for $250. I still just think that's crazy expensive, and my threshold for ridiculously expensive things is pretty damn high. 2 Link to comment

When you say the boots from "back in the day", do you mean the ones like in this photo? Or like, the go-go style boots that the DCC used to wear (and a lot of NFL squads still do)? Obviously, Luchesse boots are premium quality, but it seems like any old pair of cowboy boots could be worn to practice wearing on grass and wearing while dancing. If these girls didn't do *at least* that, it'd be foolhardy. 2 Link to comment

They're sooo nice! https://www.lucchese.com/shop/boots/nv4009j4/NV4009.J4 Not shocked by the price, but I'm completely blown away by the fact that those are 4 inch heels!!! They soooo do not look like it! I always thought they were like 2 inches... that's what they look like. Mind blown. Also, Lucchese is a sponsor, they donate those boots in exchange for being able to say they're the official boot of the DCC. There is no cost to the DCC. <<In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Lucchese actually pays the Cowboys to have the privilege of donating the boots. especially if there is advertising involved, like being mentioned as a sponsor in the calendar, etc.>> Link to comment
ByTor July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 Those aren't 4 inch heels, the heel is style #4, the "cowboy heel", which is 1 1/2 inches. 4 Link to comment

I was actually thinking the more recent go go style...the last season I remember noting the more "basic" dance boot was Jackie Bob's rookie year. She was so damn excited. So our recommended DCC TCC checklist: youtube and practice the bejesus out of Thunderstruck and get some time dancing on turf in boots. 2 Link to comment
ByTor July 7, 2016 Share July 7, 2016 I know many people say the current shorts look like diapers, but I think the ones on the above picture look much more like diapers with the high waists. 3 Link to comment
EricaShadows July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 In regards to the boots, as much as I would like a pair myself, there is NO way I'd be spending that much money on a pair of boots when there are other needs to be taken care of first. That also be low on the list of expensive "luxury" items for me. Link to comment
bjo1969 July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 I don't know if this is the right place for this, but I've been watching the news about the police officers that have been shot and killed in Dallas. I seem to remember reading somewhere that former DCC Angela (from Australia) is married to a Dallas policeman. If she is, I hope her husband is okay. My prayers go out to Dallas and the families of the dead and wounded. Please feel free to move this post if this is not the right place. 5 Link to comment
spazette July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 @bjo1969 thank you for your post. As a police wife, anytime a blue brother is lost it hurts us all. Much like within any kind of community I'm sure. I'm definitely sending prayers out to all Dallas officers and their families, and Angela is certainly included in that. 3 Link to comment

I think nothing of having to suction out their trachs. You would not believe the number of resident physicians who can't stand being in the room when I have to suction the patient. To me, it's just phlegm. I actually had a junior resident start gagging when I suctioned a patient with pseudomonas infection. Now, granted, pseudomonas stinks horribly, but you put on a mask and don't breathe through your nose. Problem solved. I looked at the resident and said "how did you get through med school without puking?" when she was gagging. LOL My uncle is an orthopedic surgeon. He cuts through bone, tissue, muscle. Blood.

bigskygirl July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 I know we are sad and upset over what happen in Dallas, but one of the rules on here is not discussing politics related to the shootings. Political discussion can turn unpleasant and can lead to hurt feelings quickly. Posts discussing the shooting in relations to gun control, what political leaders are or are not doing, or war on certain groups of people or races will be hidden or deleted at the discretion of the mods. Lets turn our anger and sadness into something positive. Link to comment
tobeyoungagain July 8, 2016 Share July 8, 2016 Will do bigskygirl. Apologies as I wasn't trying to be negative but rather hopeful thinking that this violence will not continue. I will abide by your rules and refrain from discussing the political aspect of things. thanks 3 Link to comment

SanLynn July 9, 2016 Share July 9, 2016 (edited) I follow Angela on both twitter and Instagram and she has not posted anything. I hope she's just busy and that something hasn't happened to her husband. I think it's certainly possible that if she is the wife of police officer she and her husband are with their law enforcement family and she's focused on real life. My thoughts and prayers go out to all those affected by the shootings in Dallas. I was horrified to wake up to that news this morning. Edited July 9, 2016 by SanLynn Link to comment

EricaShadows July 9, 2016 Share July 9, 2016 If she can't handle the so-called negativity on social media, I really wonder how she made it this long in the public eye.

At least, she hasn't gotten to Vivian-level of public craziness. Yet. 1 Link to comment

Better than the girl next to her anyway lol I kinda think because like Schmat Schmunn and Emily and Hunter made Mavs but didn't make DCC, but Kat made DCC.. By that logic she'd be good enough for Mavs? If she does make it, i bet we'll see her way more on appearances than dancing throughout the year 1 Link to comment

RazzleberryPie July 9, 2016 Share July 9, 2016 I think Kat is a really good dancer and much better than The One of Whom We Do Not Speak. Not even on the same page. Kat has great technique, fluidity, extensions, placement, artistry, etc, but just doesn't pop hard. The Other One was just a weak dancer - poor skills and showmanship. Both are very articulate and neither came off as desperate to me. 3 Link to comment
