CLOSE-UP MAGIC

Are you ready for some close-ups? — No (wild) child is left behind, as this “All In” 33-photo pictorial features every single female member of the 2011 UCLA Dance Team and Cheer Squad, many in up close and personal head shots

Unlike some other “media” sources, I actually try to be fair and balanced in my coverage of the UCLA Spirit Squad.  Even though I tend to play favorites, I would feel awful if a member felt that she was being left out.  So after unintentionally under-representing a few students yesterday, I went to painstaking lengths to make sure that today’s article includes at least one photograph of each and every lovely lady from the Dance Team and Cheer Squad.  Of course, all males look alike to me, so I don’t claim to show all the guys.  I’m not saying that they are just PROPS for the girls, but I just haven’t gottten to know them well enough to delineate them, and to tell you the truth, my typical reader – much like the Honey Badger – just doesn’t care.  And I should also mention that I mean no offense to the talented and crucial Yell Crew, who are vitally important to the Spirit Squad, but my readers want me to concentrate on the more traditional “cheerleaders.”

So please enjoy this all-inclusive tour of the Dance Team and (females of the) Cheer Squad.  Click on the pics to zoom in, especially on the more horizontal ones, and come back soon for more.  I still have about 100 other shots from the last three games that have been prepared for posting, but just haven’t made it to your screen yet.  The girls are just so stunning, that I am overwhelmed with a plethora of photos worthy of posting, but I don’t want to overload your senses or your servers with more than 35 or so at any one sitting.
