Laker Girls At The Asian American Expo

The Laker Girls are one of the premier dance teams in all of professional sports and if you get a chance to see them in person, you should.  This weekend the Laker Girls were making a public appearance at the Asian American Expo, a celebration of Asian culture and cuisine.  My Charger Girl duties are over for this year, so I decided to make my way over to the Fairplex in Pomona to cover the Laker Girls.  It is a rare opportunity to photograph a Laker Girl performance because at Staples Center, it’s dark and there are all sorts of restrictions on the camera equipment that you can bring in.  Unless you are Sasha or James and can wrangle a media credential from the NBA, a rare feat indeed, this is about good as it gets.  And this is what I got.

Not to digress, but I wondered what those sparkly accents on their uniforms were.  Perhaps, they were little NBA championship trophy emblems to celebrate the Lakers 2009 NBA title.  Cool.  But, that would be a little too immodest.  Nope, they were three little crystals.  Nice, but I like the NBA championship trophy idea better.

The entertainment schedule was tight, so the Laker Girls performed two dance routines and then signed autographs for the fans.  All to brief, if you ask me.  But then again, they would be performing again on Sunday.  So, if you are near the Fairplex in Pomona, California, come and see the Laker Girls perform tomorrow at 1:00 PM in Expo Hall 4.
