Rebel Cheerleaders - taking orders

Apr 15, 2009 10:29

I know I have some friends who were contemplating the Rebel Cheerleader uniform. Orders are now taking place at the Rebel Legion and close on May 3rd. They only do runs a few times a year. I'm not sure when the next run will be. These are a lot of work for Beth to coordinate, so I wouldn't be surprised if she has to limit the runs to something like ( Read more... )

woooo so excited!!!! Finally doing it this year.

So...do you think it would be a big deal if instead of pom-poms I had a hula hoop in Rebel Legion colors? ^^'

Also...I noticed one girl had orange go-go boots, but most everyone was doing white...are we not restricted on the boot choice? I'll probably go with white because I think it looks better.

Annnnd...I think that's it...OH, I also noticed that so far in pics all the gals have the long-sleeved add on. Is that because all the photos so far have been from gals who live in colder areas? Like you in Nor Cal. I'm looking at just getting the no sleeve top because it's never THAT cold here in So Cal...on the other hand if I took it to wear to Cheer gatherings to cons like Wonder Con and Dragon*Con, I could see it coming in handy.

*spazz*

Hoola hoop - that's a new one! Kind of Like Kristin and her Hoola Hoop group I guess? I think the Cheerleader uniform is open to wide interpretation for us to have fun with. It's not an official RL costume.

That's why you'll see us with all kinds of boots. I've seen silver, white, and orange worn so far. My dumb white boots were too big in the calf and I didn't realize it until it was too late to return them. So don't get the 'pleaser' gogo boot. I can't remember what brand Jessica got, but here's were the fit I was looking for.

All the cheer tops are sleeveless. It's just some of us in colder climates additionally ordered the long sleeve body liner. So far that's been New York and our little group in San Francisco. So if I wear this to D*Con or Comic Con I will wear the shell w/o the body liner since it will be hot out. It was nice to have the sleeves at WonderCon though, I don't like my arms ;)

yeah I got totally gung-ho for the hooping when kristin first started mentioning it...but she went crazy with it and I...bought a hoop and barely practice >.>

We've got some things planned though ;)

But we totally found this one Australian hoop site, and one of the color combos they did were Rebel Legion colors - orange, white, gray w/stars. haha, can you believe it?! Kristin is off making her own hoops and taping them herself, so she can make any color combo she wants...but I freaked when I saw that a premade hoop already existed with an RL motif.

Do you know if/when the gathering will be for SDCC and D*C?

Nope, I don't know about any planned RL cheer gatherings yet. I hope they will not be during Battlestar Panels - that's all. I suspect the girls out on the East Coast/midwest will want to organize the gathering at D*Con.

However... for the West Coast it will probably be up to me, you, Caitlin (Jaina M Solo), probably Joan (if she decides to wear it again) and anyone else who might get in on this new run? I know that Jessica (orange boot Cheerleader) is probably not going to the con unless they go for Thurs/Fri and commute from a friend's home in Orange County (I already warned them that's gonna be rough).

We'll have to plan something closer to the con. It's tough because some of us are both Rebel and Sith Cheerleaders. Plus there is the 501st photo shoot, Rebel Legion photo shoot etc to coordinate around. :(

Were those the standard Pleaser gogo boots? I have a pair of Pleaser gogo boots and they're so tight I can barely zip them. I know Pleaser does make a wide-calf boot in the same style. Is it possible you got that one?

kay_dee70 April 16 2009, 05:08:31 UTC

Hum, maybe by accident I ordered the wide calf or was sent the wide calf? I remembered reading about wide calf boots and tried to order ones that were not described that way. But I guess that's what they sent me. If I'd tried them on when I got them I could have exchanged them in time for the con. My mistake.
