Ultimate Cheerleaders

Last week, the Sports Illustrated NFL cheerleader gallery was all about the AFC. Now it’s time for the ladies of the NFC to shine. Click here to check out the photo gallery.

Kari did it. Carrie did it. Kortney did it. Cassie, Sunni, and Trisha did it, Courtney had a brush with it. Brandy and Nikky are up to their necks in it. Heck, Krystle did it just last week!

What is it with cheerleaders and weddings?

Well, now it can be your turn to take a ride on the reality tv train. One of your pro cheer colleagues is involved with casting a new show called “Something Borrowed, Something New.” It’s a wedding gown show with a twist: brides can choose to make over an existing dress or get one that’s brand new.

Maybe your mom is dying for you to wear her wedding gown. You don’t want to hurt her feelings, but wouldn’t be caught dead in that puffy, lacy, high necked, leg o’ mutton monstrosity from 1980-something. This here is the perfect compromise. And – as the producers of other wedding shows have realized – the ranks of pro cheerleaders all across the country are choc full o’ beautiful, marriage-minded young women who have a little media savvy, an interesting back story, and will look drop dead gorgeous in a wedding gown.

The search is nationwide. If you’re fixin’ to get hitched soon, this could be a great opportunity. Filming starts in October. Click here for details.

Oh – and if you get chosen for the show, let me know. I’m nosey like that.

NEW ORLEANS—

The Saintsations cheerleaders are known for pumping up fans and motivating Drew Brees and the rest of the NFL Super Bowl-winning Saints. These lovely ladies can now motivate you in your own home, with their 2013 swimsuit calendar.

The Saintsations swimsuit calendar was shot on-location at the San Destin Golf & Beach Resort in San Destin, Florida.

The Saintsations calendar is now available to help kick-off the football Saints season in a fine way. A party at the Royal Sonesta Hotel was held in mid-August to unveil the calendar.

Leslee Fitzmorris is the Director of the Saintsations. She said, the best picture wins, and that’s how the calendar’s cover girl is selected.

“With 33 beatuiful girls representing the city, you can’t go wrong,” Fitzmorris said.

From the calendar pages to the Superdome sidelines, these lovely ladies are more than just pom-pom shakers.

Two of the women are mothers. 3 are married, while 3 others are engaged. 13 girls are in their rookies season with the Saintsations, while 20 are veterans.

They’ve got brains to go along with their beauty. 30 of them have their Bachelor’s degrees and two have completed their Master’s programs.

Proceeds from the calendar and the calendar release party go to a scholarship fund known as the “Spirit” award. The scholarship is given to an aspiring high school dancer or cheerleader.

Individual profiles and uniform photos for this year’s AFC have been posted on the Falcons website. Click here to go there now.

Storm? What storm?

With tourist attractions and museums shutting down all over the Miami area in anticipation of Isaac, the Miami Dolphins held the unveiling of the cheerleaders’ popular calendar last night at LIV in Miami Beach.

Packed like sardines in the nightclub of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, several hundred fans got their hands on advance copies of the 2013 calendar, shot in the Dominican Republic in the spring.

There was also a fashion show starring the Fins’ 45 cheerleaders in barely-there outfits.

Hip-hop pioneer Darryl Mc Daniels (DMC in Run-DMC) entertained the crowd, intoned Walk This Way as the ladies took to the runway.

Said DMC: “I’ve done concerts for 27 years, but I’ve never rocked the house with cheerleaders!”
