Twins rule the world
Hot lobbying: Houston Texan cheerleader hopefuls "promoted" by fanaticalcheerleader fans
It might sound redundant, especially when football fans are obsessing about the actual results of the NFL Draft, but there were in fact cheerleaders for the cheerleaders at Reliant Stadium during the draft. A lot of cheerleader cheerleaders in fact.
About 15 minutes before Carolina Panthers announced Cam Newton as the first pick overall Thursday night, fans gathered on the Club Level to see Houston Texans' 50 cheerleader finalists. The smoking hot, talented and football-lovin’ women were vying for a chance to call themselves a 2011 Texans Cheerleader.
As the women filed down the stairs in their navy blue Soffe shorts and Texans midriffs, the fans went loco. These “fans” gathered around weren’t Texans fans, at least not for those 15 glorious minutes. They were cheerleader fans. They weredecked out in custom-made shirts, waved bedazzled and professionally printed signs, wore buttons and even sported face paint that touted their favorite contestants' numbers.
Friends, family members, co-workers, and creepy guys from Walgreens — all jumping up and down as if the Texans just won their first ever playoff game. All were present to show their love and support for the girls knowing how hard they’ve worked for the past few weeks learning and practicing the routine they’d be judged on.
Part of the judging centered on how well the cheerleader hopefuls interacted and mingled with the fans. The cheerleaders' cheerleaders were also advocating and making their case for why #XYZ should be on everyone’s ballot.
Of course, it helps to have a hot copy.
Twins make the world go round. And if you don’t believe me — 12 percent of the finalists were twins. That’s right; check my math. Out of the 50 remaining girls, there were three sets of twins. And they were all fan favorites.
