They all think they’re going to be the next Paula Abdul (Laker Girl).

You take a job, where you know your purpose, is to be ogled and looked at.. then bitch when you are held to a visible standard? Honestly???

I’m sorry, but you decide to take these types of jobs because you think it will advance your modeling career or whatever.

Supply and demand determines your economic value, and the value of an 18 year old willing to prance around scantily clad isn’t all that much... Add some rudimentary dancing/cheer ability and you haven’t increased your value all that much... Reality is, those girls can be replaced at any time and doubtful a single paying ticket holder would notice.

May not be fair, but its reality... they know it when they sign up for the gig... when it doesn’t go the way they plan, to complain because they didn’t let you get fat? Seriously?

I like the last girl in my first post.

As an old Navy Vet once told me,”Wrap a flag around her head, and **** her for Old Glory...”.

End all the female cheerleading squads then.

Jobs that require looks and physical skills, require looks and physical skills.

“prance around?”

These ladies have to be pretty darned athletic to do the moves they do in sink

When female baboons go into heat, their hindquarters get enlarged and bright red, to draw male attention.

Here in the US, we have “twerking.”

I hope you are being sarcastic, because I can attend any middle to high school dance recital or competition, and see equivalent or better synchronized choreography.

Trying to play what are people hoping to advance/launch a modeling career into major athletes is comical.

There's a guy on YouTube whining about how K-Pop stars are treated and how it is an indictment of capitalism.

He never mentions the way Norks are treated in their socialist "paradise".

Has any NBA dancer married, say, a player?
Do the pro teams have booster clubs like the colleges do
(where they might meet rich single men?_

The only NBA dancer I’m aware of that went on to greater success was Paula Abdul.

Shut the hell up. There’s also STFU.
I assume you can figure that one out.
