OMG THAT made me laugh like a deranged hyena!

Hey man, I could put on a yoda mask and a burka and I'd still have visible chins. When you're as beautiful as Megan, you have to take a LITTLE crap once and a while right?!

ETA: @Oranaiche when I see the Megan pic, I hear this:

Omg, just now seeing this. I'm in tears.

I wonder what level of stalker creeps the girls are going to have to deal with now with CowboysFit opening.....I know if I lived in TX I'd sign up just to sit there and lick the glass of the practice studio like a lunatic.

The location (far north suburb of Frisco and horrendous traffic to get there) and the price will keep quite a bit of riff raff out. $88 per month is less than I paid at Equinox but it's still freaking high. And I wonder if parking is extra or limited. Pain in the ass for stalking. Lol.

This made me laugh out loud....picturing a stream of hussified divorcees in sparkly vests and cowboy boots. 

I remember it being higher, maybe 27? Damn you, teen pregnancies. You really jack up my stats. Tasha is a great example of that ratio, tho she was an older "teen."

Hmm, sad. I'm too lazy to properly stalk. Hell, if it were socially acceptable I'd wear a depend so I didn't have to walk ALL the way to the bathroom.

[RedDelicious]

It's not an opinion, and I'm not judging, but I can think of at least three past DCCs and one current who got pregnant before getting married. It's something that has always stuck out to me, probably because bearing le crotch fruit is not on my road map.

I think a fan sort of mockingly made that dragon pic, but it's The Best. 

[QuiteCalM]

OMG so for those of you that have Amazon Prime, look under Prime Video for a show called "real people" it's a variety show from the 70s and the first ep, at about the 28:00 mark, is a thing about the DCC!! Suzanne Mitchell and Texie Waterman are in it!

OMG the first rule LMAO!!! And the Scholz sisters....

At the very end, they show a shot of the DCCs walking away from us....uhm, I'm gonna go ahead and stick up for their current shorts. Those one back then were downright crotch biters. They hurt to LOOK at.

To change the subject back to the thread & away from the seemingly uncertain elephant in the room (I don't know that I really know what folks are/not talking about above), can I say that I am enjoying the veteran farewells on Twitter? I like that they're posting farewell letters, photo highlights, and starting to post those lovely videos where the retiring vets say goodbye. Jenn J's was the most eloquent so far, I think, but I love Jessica's too. I'm such a fan of both, and I thought they wrote the most charming and heartfelt retirement letters of the bunch. I haven't seen if they've posted videos for Amy T, Jax, Danielle, or Claire yet,but I certainly hope they do the same for everyone else who's leaving. 

OK, just scrolled down and saw the rest of the videos on the twitter page. Can I say how much I dislike the Cowboys website? It only shows some of the DCC videos, stories, and photos at a time and is not especially searchable or user friendly. ?

Yeah, I don't get the elephant in the room thing either.

I think this is great!  I hope these girls start getting paid for what they do.  The teams certainly make plenty of money off them!

I'm sorry, but all I can think of when I see Lacey is Farrah Abraham from Teen Mom.

I found this randomly. It's two interviews for Angie Vanderwalle, who was a DCC in 2001 and 2002. Both videos include the call out of the numbers for those who were chosen for training camp. In the 2001 video, they chose 39 people for training camp and in 2002 they chose 37. They didn't start the tv show until a few years later. So my guess is the tv show is when they started inflating the number of training camp candidates so they'd have more cuts. It's also interesting that in the 2001 video, all the girls were wearing leotards and then they next year, they were all wearing hot pants and crop tops.

Whoa, she sucked!  Ugly too.  I doubt she would make it now.

[spazette]

I am not nor have I ever been a dancer, so this is not a criticism of Erica at all but can someone please explain to me why that's a good solo? I adore Erica but I was kind of bored watching all that writhing around on the floor, but again I know nothing of dance or technique so I'm sure there is a lot more to it than I am aware of. 

Also, I find it ironic that Jinelle gets crap for using the same move over again when it seems like lots of gals do. Are these girls maybe choreographing their own routines and you stick with what you know? Maybe I should take some technique classes so I can understand!

I believe that is normally announced sometime after training camp starts, since vets get cut at finals so they wouldn't be in the running.

In the US, all of the national averages are leaning towards a later age.  People are getting married later, thus women are having children at a later age.  Teen pregnancy is actually in a continuing decline.  The average age for a first marriage  is actually 27 for women and 29-30 for men now up from I think 22-23 for women and 25-27 for men.   In the South however, ages tend to run younger - cause, you know, religion, tradition and stuff.  

Edit: For clarification - I live in the south, please don't send me hate mail.  Thank you.

Tasha's corny pics bugged the hell outta me. And that pink lipstick. But really, are these reasons to detest someone? I think not. She just wasn't my cup of tea, but I DO like that she likes a bargain and there's something to be said for a sweet personae, good for her.

Hahaha @QuiteCalM, when I saw you wrote "sweet" with the next word beginning with a "p" I thought you were going to say she's a sweet potato :)

HAHAH!!! I re-read that and put in "potato" (with a silent "e" of course, a la Dan Quayle).

Agree. I was thinking that first, I think she is pretty, we have to remember the times were much different, and the idea of beauty was too. Second, that was a classic "jazz combo" from back in the day. Dance has changed more than I can even fathom. It was so very different, and back then, this was clearly good enough lol! Yeah, none of this would pass muster now, but times have changed....

I want to know how Holly got OUT of this position. Because if, by some miracle I made it there, I'd still be there. I'd just have a bunch of pizza boxes and Jimmy John's wrappers by me from ordering out.

I'm going out on a limb here since I'm not a dancer, but her solo was good because she has solid technique. The tricks/ turns she's soing are impressive, we've just seen them all before. My issue with Jinelle's move is that it's something I can do, and requires about no technique. Now I think Erica's wasn't exciting because we've seen the moves and it all blended together. I very much enjoyed Maddies because, though her technique isn't perfect, she has pauses and exciting moments.

Sidenote: I can't help but chuckle at this photo because it makes her butt look sideways. That's quite a feat.

[LaurelleJ]

Yeah ericas solo is very familiar. It's a bit different from the one she did her rookie year. My philosophy is if it isn't broke... 

if they can do thunderstruck every year then Erica can do her tricks, Amy can do her tap dances, jinelle can do her shimmy, etc. 

[lfedncr]

None of the solos actually were executed well. Erica and Holly did basically the same Style routines from previous years and  just rearranging the moves - Erica is in the same costume.  Lol apparently Holly went camandooooo ?

[VintageJ]

Yeah, I'm a Redskins fan but LOVE DCC.
