Former DCCs: Where They've Gone & What They're Doing

You are spot on about Holly and her facials. She always struck me as so arrogant but maybe that was her way of trying to prove herself as a better dancer. I don't know but these two girls always give me underlying sad, insecure vibes for some reason...

I actually get the same vibe from both of them. For me it is that they seem to try so, so hard in a way that feels like overcompensation. IDK how old Kalyssa was when she auditioned but I chalk Holly's arrogant vibe to her being very young and from a very small town where they probably worshiped her and told her she was going to be a star. 

Holly is an amazing dancer but I think she's gone raunchier because she's not getting noticed in LA where there are a million amazing dancers who are all as beautiful as she is but maybe come across as more trainable/less arrogant. 

Kalyssa...what a beautiful girl who seems to be leaning hard into "sexy" rather than smart. She just seems like she doesn't value her intelligence as much as her looks.

According to Kalyssa's Instagram bio she's studying interior design and architecture at UCLA. Glad to see she's going to school.

Agree, they both had the Big fish small pond syndrome.   Nothing wrong with leaving DCC as it appears it was not "right for them" and trying something new and different as long as they stay true to themselves and flexible with their goals, they can work their way around trying new styles, cities, networks, jobs, education etc until they get to where they find happiness.

Does this mean the porn posing wasn't working out for her?

Seems like a good "why not both" situation to me.  Her insta is still 100% lingerie pics, but the income from modeling could definitely help offset education expenses.  UCLA ain't cheap and she's too young to qualify to be an independent student and get the good grants.  It's not the venue many would take, but if she's calculated and smart about it, okay then.  Some of her earlier pics were a bit worrisome IMO, but maybe through COVID she's adjusted some things.

Alllllll that said, curious if she's an active student.  I flipped through her linked website to see if it had any school related info, and it's in dire need of copy editing.  Linked In is outdated too.

Yeah, if her bio is true, good for her! Not only is UCLA not cheap, but it's also not easy to get into. That is one of the best public universities in the country. While I've never liked her more risque pictures, she has never seemed dumb to me, so I would hope that she knows better than to flat out lie about going to college at a particular school. 

I hope it all works out for her. I've gone through several beliefs about Kalyssa...I disliked her at first when she did all that shimmying at auditions, then I liked her in training camp and appreciated that she had a full time job. Then, I thought her first pictures were very cheap and amateur looking, but I appreciate that she really seemed to commit. If she is actually going to school and preparing for life after "modeling," then I have no issue giving her props for that.

I have always wondered if she was telling the truth about being valedictorian at her school. Her website was riddled with basic spelling errors (not sure if that’s still the case but I can’t be bothered to check). I can see the UCLA thing being untrue, too. Hope it’s not, but I do wonder.

She was from a teeny tiny town, I've known dumber people who were valedictorian of a small class.  She came across as relatively intelligent when she spoke on camera.  I can't find a website, but a lot of "influencers" outsource stuff like that so it's possible that she wasn't the one writing for it.

Right. Being a valedictorian is an honor worth celebrating no matter what, but there’s a big difference between being a valedictorian of a class with 50 ppl vs 600 ppl. With that said, while I assume she went to a small school, I actually don’t know how big Kalyssa’s high school was. I knew some ppl in college who were from small towns but went to fairly big high schools - just depends on how big the area that school services is.

[kalibean]

Some of the smartest people I know can't spell for shit, so that wouldn't necessarily surprise me...and she did probably hire that site out.  I just want to give it a quick tweak and fix it for her!

And because I'm procrastinating on a hateful work project, I googled the school size and there are 2,210 students in PK, K-12.  So a teeny graduating class, but it's still a great accomplishment!

Guys anyone saw Jasmine's insta story the other day. Just wondering, unless I was blind looks like she kept one of her old DCC boots, didn't look like it was one of the My boots my cause boots because that started after she was cut for her 4th year.

[ByTor]

I see talk about Lacey having had work, I didn't think it was necessarily true.  Yikes!

[Mabinogia]

WTF?!??!! Lacey used to be absolutely stunning. What is wrong with these people?!?!?! It's not that she looks terrible, she just looks...plastic. I hope that's just a hell of a lot of filtering on her phone and not what she actually looks like.

This, as you could tell, is a snip from a story. If you see her at other angles she has the "puffy from fillers" cheeks.  Sad that she thought she had to do this.

This is really disturbing! Lacey isn't even old enough to look this bad from plastic surgery!!! She looks awful & I loathe the microblade eyebrows they look so fake to me. Why would she do this to herself, she doesn't even look like the same girl. This makes me sad for her & another reason I say Maddie doesn't need breast implants if she gets them. These girls are so hung up on their looks its horrible. They seem to have very low self worth, this pic of Lacey is just sad and isn't she also into mid level marketing now too? sigh... 

[vanillagum]

lacey...well, that's fucking depressing. she's completely bulldozed her natural beauty. she's too young for this housewife look and didn't need it to begin with, my god

i also hate the whole thing where everyone feels the need to slowly lighten their hair until they're blonde, the ultimate hair color. it's not flattering for 90% of people and just damages your hair. it looks bad. even raven-haired goddess kelsey L fell into that shit and it did her ABSOLUTELY NO FAVORS. i mean, it looked pretty bad, which is hard to do on her. she was so washed out

i saw recently that it looks like she (kelsey) is back to dark hair, guess she got some sense knocked into her. it looks so much better it's not even funny

She looks like she had an allergic reaction to something or tried kissing a bee and the bee was not having it! Why is "bee stung lips" a thing to aspire to?

Kelsey is another who I thought was breathtaking on the show who has gone down the Real Housewives botox rabbit hole. These girls make me so sad. So much beauty and they still feel they have to augment it. 

[ByTor]

Is it just me, or does Kelsey have a little Lauren Graham thing going on in the "before" picture?

[EvergreenLove]

I will say it - Lacey looks terrible.

I don't think these ladies necessarily have low self-worth more than they have access to any form of plastic surgery/procedure that their hearts desire.  Unfortunately, this will be the standard for women working in the entertainment industry going forward.

[vanillagum]

what has kelsey had done other than lips? the before and after posted above is very stark but i can't put my finger on it. it's almost like her eyes are bigger????

If I remember correctly, someone across the board posted about this a while ago. There was this one and done girl from about 8 years ago, (I think her name was Emily?) who gained a lot shortly after. I believe the explanation was medically related? 

I also remember seeing JennK heavily pregnant in the 2017 or 2018 show (she was giving Kelli feedback on the stands) and it shocked me how huge and puffy in the face she was. Of course everyone gains weight and suffers from swelling to a certain degree, so it probably doesn’t count as an answer to this question, but it really scared and worried me to see her like that.  I did not even recognise her at first. 

[vivianspoetry]

That Lacey and Kelsey, IMHO the most beautiful women to be DCCs, felt the need to get plastic surgery is unfathomable to me.  If it makes them happier, then good for them, but I still can't wrap my head around the fact they felt it was necessary.  There is so much pressure on these women to be perfect that even the perfect ones feel they aren't good enough.

To me if someone values the way they look they would not need to reconstruct their naturally beautiful God given faces free or not. Its depressing looking at them in their after pix, that's what they think matters their looks? I mean sure to a certain extent their looks matter but they are worth so much more than that do they not have friends or family members that say ummm hey, you don't need all that plastic surgery you're still maturing... 

[LilyD]

I can hardly name anyone where cosmetic surgery in the face actually lead to an improvement. With 9 out of 10 people I feel like "holy moly what have you done?!!"

Can someone please explain why people keep on doing these procedures and change natural beauties in caricatures of what they once were? How can someone like Lacy actually be happy with her new look when she looks in the mirror?

An excellent nose job done by an excellent experienced surgeon can do wonders. The injectables and fillers is where it all goes wrong.

But you can forgive Jen K for that tho, she was pregnant and pregancy can "balloon" you up, I know a girl who was like that, always a uk size 6 and then she got pregnant and was a 14/16 during pregnancy and her kid was one of the "lightest" kid at birth that, the team (at the hospital she gave birth) saw. So would she really count in weight gain due to pregnancy in terms of that question.

Yea that’s just naturally going to happen with mostly every pregnancy. I was more talking like retirement from the team weight.

To become influencers - maintain a certain look.  Cause they are constantly seeing themselves in selfies, IG stories, social media posts on their own accounts, as well as friends/family accounts.  To look younger than they are.  To keep significant others happy.  On and on and on.

oh yes, absolutely (mum of 3 here), and with shocked I basically meant incredibly worried as I could barely recognise hear. I have seen a few post-pregnancy pics and she looks absolutely amazing in those. 

[Lexusprincess]

Lacey seemed a shy young girl her first year straight out of high school who was an amazing rookie.  I understood why she got her nose done.  Lacey was beautiful.  Now she looks plastic and her world seems to revolve around wanting to be an influencer on the gram and MLM products (she's not a natural sales person so this will be hard for her)and her looks and then her husband.  For all that has been said about some. girls who their whole focus was on being a DCC and then getting a hubby, Lacey has become this.  Lacey has never really been out in the real world in which you go to work, earn a living, and have to balance how to keep the rest of your life going while you make it in the 9-5 world.  

It's sad.  She's beautiful as she is and still very young.  Lacey should lay off the procedures and embrace some natural beauty.

They were seen out in public was supposedly going on for months - could have been anyone really.  Plus, if Jenna was talking wedding plans and Holly was showing off her earrings and name brand purse, that would make it "locker room talk"
