I always thought it was the opposite. Did you all ever read the notes that people wrote at the bottom of the cheerleader's individual pages? One guy was asking a cheerleader why she hadn't written him back. It was weird and off-putting. And then there was our famous friend on the DCC site and on TWOP that was kind of creep and used to comment who was the hottest and trolled on the girl's individual pages. I cannot remember his "handle." Here is the problem with all the changes they are making to the website: many of us remember the site when it was great and the squad was contributing to it. Each girl had a page, in addition the cheerleaders would write diary-like story entries about all the stuff they had to do each week or for a holiday or a personal story or what music they liked to work out to. The best were the retiring vet postings. They wrote about their time on the squad and the reader usually found out stuff they never knew about the cheerleader. It was way more personal...maybe that is why it changed. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/13/#findComment-809066

The 2/6 class had Angela and three year vet Ashley helping teach the class. Last Friday Nicole and three year vet Jennifer assisted Mia.

Kaedee February 21, 2015 Share February 21, 2015 I've seen the new website for the DDC's and don't care for it, but don't think it's done either. I'm sure all the old data from the Cheerleaders' site will be moved over to the main site. I really like the history section as well. Personally, I think they combined the Cheerleaders with the official Cowboys site to get more traffic for the Cowboys! lol I've seen a lot of talk and criticism about the Cheerleaders and their weight, how unhealthy it is and they aren't good role models for girls etc. To me they're perfectly all right for what they're trying out for - which is to be in a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader in a very skimpy uniform. And they're healthy enough to dance 3 hours every night for practice as well as dance for 4+ hours in the hot, humid Southern weather during games. Most people can't do that. Most of the girls who try out are in their late teens and early 20's. I think the difficulty keeping weight down as one gets older is why Cheerleaders retire after a couple, three seasons - especially cheerleaders who got on the team in their mid-20's. But these girls knew that going in, they knew what was needed to wear that skimpy uniform. And it is really tiny! None of this is a big secret. So why criticize Kelly and Judy for upholding criterion that has stood for decades? It's only been in the last 15 to 18 years that the average US female size is 12-14. In the '70's and '80s it as size 8-10, in the '60's the average was 8. These girls and their "thinness" is being judged against a generation that isn't thin. That doesn't automatically make them bad role models. Are there some girls who shouldn't try out because their bodies just don't naturally get that slim? Absolutely. Does it mean those girls aren't going to strive to get down there anyway? Of course not. They're going to because they want to be a part of an elite organization. But each girl makes those choices. And not all of the girls on the team now are the super skinny types like Jinell, Lacey and Kelsey. Ashley P isn't super skinny, and neither is Breelan, Jasmine, Nichole, and several others. They just have the right proportions, their weight falls in the right places to fit the uniform. Some are thin and their body type doesn't fit, like Rachel Buckmaster for example. Anyway, just thought I'd throw my opinion onto the pyre. :) 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/13/#findComment-851595

I think people were weighing in on the constant comments made from previous cheerleaders who "did whatever it took" to fit into that uniform.. i.e. starving themselves..the unhealthy way to be a "good role model." That's not to say that they should eat whatever they want and expect to get the job; just be healthy. Yes, some are, but when you hear several stories from ex cheerleaders saying these girls are compromising their health to look good, that isn't cool. Not everyone does it though.

scorpio1031 February 23, 2015 Share February 23, 2015 The girls sign contracts stating they have to stay at their audition weight. Hannah looked to be extremely thin at her initial audition, so that probably didn't help. However, when she came back her second year, it wasn't like she gained weight and remained toned. She was "softer" around the middle. I think they "lean up" for the swimsuit photo shoot in April and re-introduce carbs to their bodies in May. If they haven't been practicing and working out like normal, their bodies hold on to the extra calories. Some just may have a metabolic system that can deal with it better than others.

I remember that a few years ago, when there were still the blog entries, one of the veterans wrote a blog about tips for auditions. One tip was to not audition at a weight lower that you can realistically maintain because that will be the weight that you'll be held to all year. Maybe Hannah came in at her very smallest at her rookie year auditions and could never really stay at that weight. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/48016-current-dccs-my-boots-do-the-talking/page/13/#findComment-857480
